    There’s a lot going on

    Rachel uncovers the functions of the hip so clearly - it’s so good to understand what is going on in yoga poses and everyday life so we can keep stable and strong, thank you.

    This course is packed with theory

    A beautifully explained yoga anatomy lesson that deepens your understanding of the body and sets the foundation for queuing hip openers.

    Happy hips, happy life

    On this course Rachel takes you on an exciting exploration of the hip. She explains with mastery and clarity the anatomical elements of this fundamental part of our body: bones, muscles, joints, connective tissue and how they work together to help us move around! This course will give you important insights on how to take care of this area of the body, how to move with precision and to preserve your hips functionality in the long run (literally).

    Thorough and succinct anatomy of the hip and it's importance to yoga asana

    I have a far more intimate understanding of how and why certain asanas as well as sequencing, benefit the hip now. This will greatly enhance my ability to teach safe and coherent yoga classes

    Great overall view of hip muscles

    This was a great lesson on teaching (and reviewing) hip muscles and anatomy. It makes me really think about what is going on in different poses. Hopefully one day it will be more natural and not something to analyse each time.

    Challenging and interesting!

    This class reminded me it's been years since I've been a student! It was challenging and I learned a lot. Definitely have a better understanding of certain poses. Thanks!

    Great teaching clarity

    Loved the way you had us all palpating the bones in different postures and appreciating how different individual skeletal structures are. You provided a whole new appreciation of the complexity of the hip muscles and a lightbulb moment for me over the role of the hip abductors in balancing poses. Thank-you!

    Clear, well-sequenced, instruction!

    As a movement teacher, I am very picky about teachers and pedagogy. I was very impressed by this course: it's super organized, very specific, and fun on top of that!
