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.

David,
Your pace and voice were soothing. I approached this with hesitation but left with a sense of reassurance and new life in my hips. I do have a problem with the muscles down the back of my thighs cramping when doing that typical runners stretch, while grabbing my foot behind me. I feel that continuing to visit this class will help me work that out. The wide leg stretches between each set really helped release those cramps and lengthen the muscles.
Thank you this was an unusual sequence in a great way,
Becky

I have had some painful issues with my left hip for a few months now. Getting a new bed should help. But I have to say since I started using the practice in my daily yoga practice it has helped so much! I thought I was going to have to go see a Dr about it. But it turns out it was just really tight and needed to be strengthen. Thank you so much!!
