welcome to The Wisdom of your Hips
Hello dear woman, this is your invitation journey to explore the profound wisdom of your hips, a central point of energy and emotion in your body and is interconnected with so many other layers of our physical, emotional and energetic bodies. Together, we will cultivate a safe, nurturing and supportive space to connect with our bodies, release tension, and embrace the duality of strength AND openness, boundaries AND receptivity through the gateway of the hips and the pelvis.
​
This is for any woman who might be curious how releasing tension (whilst creating stability) will help cultivate inner power in life, but also a profoundly supportive space for women who are transitioning through the rite of passage of menopause (peri and post).

The Journey
​
5 Weeks of yoga postures, movement,
breath, connection and embodied inquiry to unlock your hips.
​
Beginning Thursday 20th March 5.30pm-7.15pm
The Essence - your willingness to open to MORE of you!
​
The essence of this Wisdom of the Hips journey is an invitation for you to slow down and explore, through movement, breath and presence, what we notice when we invite our awareness to this area of our body, that holds so much. Every time we brace or tense up this area tightens and contracts cutting us off from our ground and our ability to trust and lean in to and/or to open ourselves to the fullness of who we are and the pulse of life.
There is a lot that is written that we hold our emotions in our hips, and yes that is true but I believe we hold our emotions everywhere in our body. This is an invitation to explore, as deeply or lightly as you choose, to discover what in might be like to find a way to unwind the hips, pelvis, lower back, diaphrams, coccyx... all of these intertwined pieces of this region of our body.
​
The hips relate both to the lower two chakras but more specifically our sacral chakra, which governs our emotions, our creativity, our life force power (sexual energy) and is connected to one of our deep wisdom centers. it is a place of nurturance and a birthing portal.
What to expect
​
Throughout this course we will focus on the themes that honor your body’s natural rhythms and help you unlock your life force energy, inner safety and our ability to let go. Here is how our journey might unfold.
​
Week 1 - Connecting to our Diaphragms
Discovering the diaphragms essential role in breath and vitality and creating movement and flow.
Week 2 – Releasing Tension around the Pelvic Floor
The relationship between our breath, holding patterns, tension in the hips, tailbone, anus, pelvic floor and softening. While we often think our pelvic floor might be too loose often, because of our constant tensioning and protecting around this area we have a numb and tight pelvic floor which can cause, lower back pain, hip pain, incontinence and more.
Week 3. Balancing Strength and relaxation.
Our hips connect our lower body to our upper, they provide direction, stability and the ability to play and be fluid.
Week 4. Attention to sensation, joy and pleasure
Reconnecting with joy and pleasure through mindful movement and flowing playful sequences.
Week 5. Releasing our old stories.
How we can use our breath, intention, surrender and subtle movement to release old patterns and stories.
