Loved it! My hips feel very warmed up and mobile! And so does the rest of my body. :) Thank you!

This is a really good video however I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 because it's for hip openers and all of these poses are for people who already have open hips. Mine are quite tight so a good 30% of the poses here I can't get into any variation of. I wish there were more hip opening classes that catered to people with hips that need to be opened and not just people with hips that need a stretch. I keep coming back to this video because the stretches I can do are really helpful but I also know which parts I have to fast forward through.

Hi there! Glad to have you here ~ We labelled this class an intermediate 2 class because it includes poses that are challenging and require a degree of inherent hip mobility. But it's important to understand that "hip opening" is not just about musculature, but is also connected to human variation (connective tissue, boney shapes) that can impact one's access to a particular shape. If you'd like a good hip opening class for musculature and connective tissue, I may also suggest some of the yin classes that focus on hips, which are EXCELLENT and perhaps may be a good addition for your needs.

I started off thinking this practice was too challenging for me, but as with all things Rachel, it turned out to be exactly the challenge I needed. Thank you so much!
