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.

Love the class! The details of how the muscles should be activated really helps me feel the same pose I've been doing on a deeper level.

This class is the perfect counterpoint to your classes for the hips, hamstrings, and back. Too often when people have pain and tension in the glutes and low back, they focus on stretching the muscles on the back of the body, forgetting that those muscles are affected by the counter pull of the front. I've been struggling with a disc issue in my lumbar spine for the last year and had hit a recovery plateau. Just the improvement I've had the last few days as I've done this class and your two for the hips and hamstrings is amazing. My posture has improved. My hips are looser, my back stronger. And your cues for downward dog have fixed an alignment issue that has aggravated my shoulder for years. This whole class felt amazing AND gave me a more intense workout than I've been able to do in over a year. Thank you so much!

Namaste. I will use this regularly as I suffer chronic bursitis in my hip. After this mornings workout, I was having some hip pain and felt the need for a good stretch- this session was AMAZING! Thank you kindly :)

David, I've never had such an effective and soothing yoga session (at home or at a studio) as I just did with your video above. Your explanation of the fundamentals is spectacular, the pacing was great, and you have a very soothing approach in the session. Thank you 1,000 times.
