Deepen Your Practice: A Hip Opening & Awakening Masterclass with Lalit 🌀

Join us for a unique opportunity to learn from Lalit, the founder of Himalaya Yoga Valley, who will lead a special hip opening and strengthening masterclass. This workshop is designed for all levels and will offer a deep dive into the often-tight and vulnerable areas of the hips.

Lalit's expert guidance will help you safely and effectively explore a range of poses, providing you with the tools to unlock greater freedom and power in your practice. He will be utilizing props to break down complex poses into accessible stages, ensuring that you understand the proper alignment and engagement needed to build both mobility and strength.

During this masterclass, we will focus on:

⚡Increasing Mobility: We'll work through a series of dynamic and static stretches to release tension in the hip flexors, abductors, and rotators, leading to a greater range of motion and ease in everyday movement.

💪 Building Strength: It's not just about flexibility! Lalit will guide you through drills and exercises designed to strengthen the muscles surrounding the hips, creating stability and support for your joints. Improving

💛Lower Back Health: The hips and lower back are intricately connected. By releasing tension in the hips and strengthening the core, we can alleviate pressure on the lower back and prevent future discomfort.

🧘Exploring a Peak Pose: We will progressively work towards a challenging peak pose, using the techniques and principles learned throughout the workshop to build a strong and stable foundation.

📅 Saturday, 23rd August
🕑 14:00 - 15:30
📍 Carrigaline Studio
🎟️ FREE for Members | €20 for non members

More than a sequence of poses, this masterclass is a journey of self-discovery. Leave with renewed mobility, body awareness, and confidence to explore on and off the mat. All levels welcome.
