Most of us are sitting or standing for the greater part of the day and our hips bear the result: tense and tight. We also tend to hold a lot of mentala and emotional stress in the hips, which increases the stiffness not only in the hips but the back as well.
First we'll move quickly into a flow practice to heat the muscles and joints then we will go slowly, gradually and deeply into the hips and adjoining muscles from different directions. We will be finding freedom and happiness in the body, and quite likely, more of the same in the mind!
MB, the athlete.
One of the defining roles of MB's life is that of an athlete. While playing semi-pro baseball and college football in New York, MB suffered through several major knee operations and
shoulder injuries. Urged by his orthopedic surgeon to attend a yoga class to rehabilitate his body, he was utterly hooked from the first downward dog at Norman Allen's studio in Manhattan. "I watched
this lean little yogi bend into powerful poses while maintaining the most serene expression," says MB. "I was intrigued, excited." He has continued to practice yoga every day of his life since
then.
