1 Hips Part I

COURSE: the-magic-of-intra-body

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on hip movement, starting with weight transfer and tilting, then progressing to drawing circles with the hips at different ranges of motion.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Keep your feet exactly underneath your hips and step to feel the movement.
• Draw tiny circles with your hips while keeping them on their spot, not moving away.
• Use soft, relaxed knees and push from the feet into the legs and hips to ease the movement.
• Play with different ranges of motion: small, medium, and big circles, adjusting knee bend accordingly.
• Experiment with feet close together to feel the push from the ground into the hips during rotation.

REMEMBER:

• Pay attention to weight transfer under your feet as you shift between movements.
• Maintain a connection to the ground, using foot energy to drive hip motion.
• Focus on rotation and the feeling in your muscles by moving slowly and softly.
• Breathe and change direction freely to explore different sides and ease of movement.
• Combine various motion sizes while staying on the spot to enhance control and range.
