About: As the new year begins, take time to slow down, reconnect with your body, and set intentions for a healthier, more balanced you. Join Hunter Nicole of Soulshine Medicine at the Barns of Rose Hill for a six-week Hatha Yoga series designed to improve hip mobility and overall balance.
Ideal for beginners or anyone looking to enhance muscle alignment and move with greater ease, this series prioritizes comfort and accessibility. You must first understand and accept where you are before you can get where you want to be.
Each class begins with connection to the breath and intention-setting, followed by gentle functional movements to warm the body and slightly more challenging postures to release tension and promote hip flexibility, stability, and mobility. Classes conclude with twists, a soothing savasana (corpse pose), and chanting, leaving you grounded and refreshed. The structure remains consistent each week, so you can track your progress, while mid-class postures vary to engage all the muscles that support your hips.
Designed to be gentle on knees and wrists, this style of yoga is ideal for those with injuries or sensitivities, and anyone seeking balance, ease, and renewal as you kick off the new year.

About the Instructor: In a traditional Hatha Yoga practice, you warm up the body through the isolation of joints and then hold postures for 1-3 minutes. This makes Hatha Yoga incredibly versatile, which is why I chose this asana practice to restore the mobility in my hips after suffering from 3 pelvic breaks in a car wreck. I was wheelchair-bound for multiple months and lost nearly all of my muscle mass, as well as most of my flexibility. After emerging from physical therapy, I knew I still had a lot of work to do!
These Hatha for Hip Mobility classes were designed by me to create flexibility and strength, two very important components of mobility, to get myself back to a healthy baseline. When I found myself back in a great place physically, I realized how useful these classes could be for others as well. I hope to continue to share this practice with my ever-growing community!
