About: Join Hunter Nicole of Soulshine Medicine at the Barns of Rose Hill for six weeks of Hatha for Hip Mobility Yoga.
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 breath and mindful intention-setting, a crucial aspect of any yogic practice. Followed by gentle functional movements to warm up the body, then slightly more challenging postures to really drop you into your hips to promote flexibility, stability, and improved mobility. A gentle cool down with twists before ending with savasana (corpse pose) and chanting.
Each class starts and ends the same for continuity, so you can watch how your body responds over the six weeks. The postures that Hunter chooses to teach in the middle will be different each week so you can tap into all of the muscles that impact your hips!
Designed with care to be gentle on knees and wrists, this style of yoga is ideal for those with injuries or sensitivities.

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!
