Hip Flexor Heaven
This class targets the hips flexors, a common problem area for many, including runners, athletes, people with desk jobs and those with hyperlordosis. David guides you through a class that builds gradually toward a final series of deep openers for the quads and psoas muscles, starting and finishing with a guided relaxation.
This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 15 of the Daily Dose 30-Day Intermediate Yoga Challenge.

This targeted entirely new areas in the front of the hip. I used to assume hip flexors meant variations of pigeon, but you didn't even go there. Helped me isolate tight areas that have impeded my flexibility in other poses. So glad it was part of the 30 day challenge, or I might not have noticed it. Thank you!
Phew! This 35 minutes helped me where I needed it. I always feel calmed and respected after listening to David's voice. thank you for this. I've done almost every day - except when I went to DC for the big march - and I feel competent and balances.
Deeeeeep! Good one David!
Another excellent class by the water (loved the sounds of the waves, and of the pebbles when you moved, David) - ahhhh!
Much needed and appreciated stretching of the hip flexors - great remedy not just for runners, also for cyclists and desk sitters like myself :-) Lots of variations, and good to notice which side is more open, and aim for balance.
The only reason why I only gave you 4 instead of 5 stars was because you forgot to do the counterstretch (I always love those and find them so important - thank you for integrating them!) in the end on the second side, and the transition into savasana was too fast for me. I needed and did a few side twists first. Other than that detail, excellent and bookmarked to re-visit often.
Big gratitude for these classes!
