Happy Hips with Susanne Lahusen
Advertisement
Anatomy, latest research and lots of practical ideas.
For teachers and trainees.
- £25 -
We want our hips to be more open, more stable, pain free, resilient... the list is endless. No two hips joints are exactly the same, and it is often difficult to know what we really need, and what is the best approach for our own individual hips to be functioning optimally.
What we hear and read can be so confusing: do we need more stretching, more strengthening, what activities are recommended for certain conditions, and what should some of us modify or do less of?
What does 'hip opening' actually mean? How might our breathing patterns and the way we use the rest of our body affect the stability and freedom of the hip joints?
The workshop will cover some basic anatomy, things that might go wrong with our hips, and a summary of recent research that is likely to influence how we practice yoga and how we treat our hips in exercise, sports and everyday life. Some conditions and treatments covered include tightness, lack of strength, arthritis and some very basic considerations for hip replacements.
At least half of the time will be given to practical work: somatic explorations as well as specific exercises and ways to adapt postures and movements for our hips to be happy.
There will be slides and detailed hand-outs.
The workshop is for all interested yoga practitioners, teachers and student teachers.

�From 2012 until 2024 she taught somatics, experiential anatomy, yoga therapy and sequencing on the Yogacampus Teacher Training and Yogacampus Therapy Diploma course as well as vinyasa classes at The Life Centre. ���Susanne now runs vinyasa flow classes at OrangeYoga in Cheltenham, she also teaches Sequencing on the OrangeYoga teacher training course, and holds regular workshops at the studio.
