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.

I have had a glute injury for nearly 6 months and it hasn't been getting better. Physio, injection and not running hasn't helped. I've been doing this class every morning this week and my glute and hips feel amazing! I'm now excited about getting back to running but also continuing with these yoga classes. Thank-you!

Hi David, I enjoyed both mentally and physically your class. Thank you for the clear guidance and slow pace.
I have a question regarding tight hips. Is it possible to have naturally tight hips and there is no much one can do to open them and become more flexible? I have been trying to open mine for the past 3 years and I feel that they are still very tight.
Thanks
Teo

Thanks, Teo.

Yes, it's possible to have tight hips. Or tight hamstrings, groin, back, shoulders... etc. We're all born with our little quirks and certain areas are just more responsive to stretching and strengthening than others. Mine tight area is my hip flexors. Everyone is different, but I find that I can see progress if I stretch them every day. It has to be every day, or I don't really get anywhere.

So you might want to try that. Be aware of how your body is responding, though, so you don't over do it. And be ok if you still don't see results. :-)

Take care,
