Bow Pose: Hip Flexor Release
This class is part two in a 4-part series taking you to bow pose (dhanurasana). Moving on from what you learned in Bow Pose: Core Strength, Rachel alternates between a brisk hatha flow and a series of deep, long holds, warming the body up so you can release the hip flexors and the front of the pelvis, ultimately making it easier for your pelvis to tilt back and your body to move into a backbend. This class also has a peak pose, dancers (natarajasana) and will prepare you for the next classes in this series: Bow Pose: Open the Shoulders, and Bow Pose: Ready for the Peak!

It help a lot. I am very thankful because of this video. This was perfect for me. I will recommend this to my friends. Thank you so much.
I have really tight hips from my office job and combining that with running my problems got so bad I could hardly walk with out severe pain. Yoga is the only thing that has helped me and this class is perfect to release all the tightness in my hips.
Thank you so much for this class. <3
Thank you Rachel, I replay liked this class, the asanas perfectly work with each other and the final stretches are perfect for what was practices before :)
Like many people with desk jobs who also run/bike, I have tight hips. Frequently, I have lower back tightness because my hip flexors are stressing my lower back. This started years ago during preganancy and continues 20 years later. Today, I had a deep release like nothing I've ever experienced. My back feels amazing!
