Hip Opening Asanas

As a former ballet dancer, my hips are always tight when I wake up. I thought I’d share with you, some of my favorite hip opening asanas to help loosen up your hips. I personally prefer to start my day feeling like my body is properly aligned and hip openers are what make the biggest difference in my alignment. This is a simple, roll out of bed sequence. Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
