Yoga Tune Up ® : Hips
Thursday October 13, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
$55 - registration required, register online
 
Locked hips wreak havoc on the practicing yogi. How often do you get stuck in a Warrior Lunge? Or feel totally congested in Baddha Konasana? Tight hamstrings lead to back pain and postural imbalances, while bound hip flexors limit abdominal strength and backbend fluidity. Students with hip hypermobility have issues with stability and maintaining alignment. This workshop addresses range of motion and hip awakening from every conceivable angle. Special attention will be devoted to the Iliopsoas. Exercises are derived from hatha yoga, body therapy, and corrective exercise. Jill’s signature Yoga Tune Up® and Core Integration exercises are highlight of this course. Students of all skill levels and flexibility/extensibility are welcome to explore their pelvic potential.

Yoga Tune Up ® : Kneehab
Friday October 14, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
$55 - registration required, register online

Knee injuries sideline yogis and gym rats alike. The knees often pay a price for poor alignment in both the hips and ankles. Knee dysfunction does not exist in a vacuum, a torqued knee will inevitably cause issues in that same leg's ankle and hip, while causing compensation patterns in the body's other leg and lower back. This workshop unravels bad habits that lead to knee pain, and offers dozens of YTU exercises that help knees in pain as well as "pre-hab" the knee so that issues are kept at bay. Analyze muscle imbalances, regain function, and open up new vectors of motion to recondition the knees from inside-out. PS. Your hips will love it too!

Loaded with adrenalin and stress, most of us can easily accelerate from 0-60 in a heartbeat. But do you know how to decelerate from 60-0 effectively without crashing? This workshop breaks down the mechanics of "down-regulation" before your body has a "breakdown." Learn how to breathe correctly with sedating exercises from yoga, body therapy, meditation, and self-massage. You will un-bind muscular tension, relieve anxiety and enter into a profound state of sleep. Come learn the age defying secrets of Yoga Nidra, or "yogic sleep", and master the art of "Blissing Out." No Yoga experience necessary. Students of any level are welcome.

Yoga Tune Up ® : Hip Help for Classic Poses
Sunday, October 16, 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
$55 - registration required, register online

As your yoga practice evolves, you may find that some of your poses progress and feel expansive, while others are stubborn and stuck. Your hips are a major component of nearly every category of asana, from standing, to sitting, to inversions. The hips can be a confusing maze of muscles and bones. Many students will punish their hips, stretching and overstretching to try to change a pose, resulting in more frustration and pain. In reality, the hips are very simple joints that are wildly misunderstood. Hip Helpers will vastly improve your embodiment of your hip anatomy. Learn how to skillfully connect to your hips, legs, and core as they relate to the most classic poses in all of hatha yoga. This class explores many of the major seated and standing poses, and introduces multiple preparations and variations to help anyone at any level improve their postures.
