Yoga mat, a block or bolster, box or chair and a wall.

The goal of this program is to increase overall hip mobility and strength through 5 key postures and movements that include: Pistol Squats, Sissy Squats, Dragon Squats, Front Splits and Middle Splits.

Best practice would be to complete all of stage 1 for all postures. Get good at it and when you feel you’ve advanced move to stage 2 and so on. As you move through the stages the classes become progressively harder. If struggle with a certain pose go back to the last stage until you feel more confident. Although, you can move forward without completing a certain stage I suggest you take the time to master the baby steps along with the harder steps that you seem to be progressing in.

To remember there is no fast approach with hip mobility it takes time. If first starting out, practice 1 video 6 days a week at the end of a strength/cardio based workout, such a yoga flow or bodyweight drills. You can try all of the stages all at once if you have previous experience and kind of know where it’s headed. But if your just starting out, try completing 25 videos in approx 25 weeks: 1 video a week, 6 days a week for 25 weeks.

Yes! Start with Stage 1 for each pose and you will progress through the stages safely, confidently and comfortably. You only actually get to the super technical and advance stuff in later stages. See how far you can get! And keep practicing with my other beginner classes!
