Asanas for Hip-Opening by Sakina Kapadia

Tight hips can be caused due to a variety of reasons and tightness in the hips can cause tightness in the lower back and inhibit our capacity to sit comfortably in seated postures like sukhasana or padmasana. Sakina will be guiding us through gentle hip-opening asanas that will work on a physical, mental and emotional level to alleviate any discomfort and allow our hips to slowly open and become flexible and strong.
