HIPS!
Our hips do so much work for us all day every day, it's no wonder we experience their opening as an emotionally wrought unfolding. This class is a safe, open-level Vinyasa flow designed to bring responsible heat into the hips before exploring their full range of motion. Some yoga experience is helpful. Prop suggestions and modifications are offered.
We begin with an intention and seated Ujjayi breathing before we move into hip-warming and ultimately hip-opening sequences. Our standing poses call for work in the supporting structures of our hips, from the hip flexors to the external rotators to the glutes to the adductors. When the body is sufficiently warm, we move into powerful but sweet seated shapes that get into every nook and cranny of the hips! In the latter half, emphasis is on opening the outer and inner hips in a way that feels deep but restorative.
This class is great for athletes and anyone looking to feel more comfort in Lotus position.
As always, please share your requests and feedback. I LOVE hearing from you, and I really do design my classes based on your comments. I'm blown away daily by the atmosphere of kindness and mutual support in my comment feed -- thank you!
Be Love!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Starting my morning with this! Thank you for always graciously sharing your practice with us!!! I am in ♡ with your style & the challenges you allow me to try!!!!"
"I've started taking your classes and enjoying every moment of the practice in the early morning before heading out for work. Thank you very much. Namaste."
"I find your classes unique and inspiring, They leave me feeling the best version of me."
"I have been loving your classes. Thank you for making them."
"Hi Leigha, I did your first class again (forearm stand) and I feel sooooo good now. Thank you!
I decided to do the whole series one by one again. It has been around 52 classes already, so it will take me some time.
Good on you!"
"The last class (throat chakra) was absolutely amazing. Thank you for your wisdom you share with us. I also really enjoyed nauli pranayama."
"I just did Body Medicine last night and Open Open just now. What lovely wholesome practices, I love how we seamlessly did juicy amounts of good smooth movements, explored new transitions and poses, and worked on splits and compass pose again. 🙂 Feeling wonderful, thank you dear Leigha."
"After the shavasana and the short meditation in the end, I got up off the mat and I experienced an incredible feeling of lightness, as if i was light as a feather, thank you."
"I did handstand class again today. I can feel such a progress in those L-stand hops. The whole class felt much easier than the first time. Thank you Leigha."
"Hi Leigha, I took last class (Peace) outside by the lake I live.
The class itself made me feel peaceful and as I was listening to the sounds of the birds between your words and watching the top of the trees, it even intesified my feeling of blissfulness and peace.. I finished when the sun was setting down and I was listening to the frogs and birds while taklng shavasana. Thank you for another amazing class.
"I feel grateful as I am improving so much with your guidance. I can feel open in my shoulders, thoracic spine as never before, leg behind head feels easy and slowly slowly I can do king pieon for rhe first time in my life (just on one side). I do not even attend any yoga classes anymore as I just love doing yoga at home and your guidance is the best for me anyway (I do yoga for several years but your classes make a big difference. and I love you make them in accessible way, I never feel any strain… you can teach and prepare and open body with an ease and grace). "
"Hello Leigha!
First of all, a big thank you for the chin-stand themed practice. It was intense, I will definitely be coming back to it,… once my pride recovers!! It is a struggle for me.
Just did Paradise and Grasshopper… soooo amazing, I finally really feel how incredible and energizing back bends are. Huge smile on my face when I kicked over from the wall.
Thank you again."
with love,
Leigha

This was incredibly relaxing. I can really feel the difference in my hips. Thank you, Leigha!
The pace and rhythm of this class made all the poses feel easy and accessible. Even though we opened the hips quite deeply, it felt like a gentle, restorative class.
+Vanessa Wingerath Thanks for this feedback 😊
Leigh, thank you so much for all your videos. I have been an avid follower for 3 years now. Based on the joy I felt after so many amazing practices I decided I wanted to become a yoga teacher. As a stay at home mom I knew it would be a big undertaking, finding a teacher training and that it entails. But one of the best decisions I have ever made. This week was my first week as a teacher, and I wanted to say thank you. For all you offer and your joyous heart that shines through in every video. Namaste 😀
+Sarah Rodriguez I loved to hear this, Sarah. And congratulations!! Keep shining 💖💫
Best yoga practice ever. I must if watched & done it 400 times by now 🤩
Same!
oh deary i just couldn't thank you enough for this wonderful flow which releases almost everything! physically and emotionally :') thanks for the beam of light
My absolute pleasure
I love how your yoga flows are challenging, yet soothing at the same time. I've been following your channel for a few years now, and it has allowed me to improve my practice (and my sanity), especially when I couldn't afford to take classes at a studio. Thank you so much for sharing. =)
+Squidbot Thank you
Can't get enough of your yoga flows. Always something creative and never dull. Thank you Leigha!
+Heatherea Thank you!
I absolutely loved this class Leigha. I found places and spaces of tightness that I have tried to shift for years just from doing something slightly different in the poses/shapes that you offered and playing around with them. Thank you. Love your creativity as always.
You have quickly become one of my favorites on RUclips. You're a perfect match at this stage in my journey! I just want to ask if you could carry us through the whole savasana, and then stay with us to close the practice. My favorite is to do a chant of OM at the end
Terrific class! 🧘🏻♀😌✌🏼
Amazing sequence. I always reach a deeper level in my practice when I watch your videos. You are a gifted teacher, thanks for spreading the love! Namaste~
+Aylin Saner Thank you!
Amazing routine! Best hip yoga on RUclips! You are so under rated!
Loved the way you practice. You are so nice and gentle while you are flowing. Thank you so much. Namaste
This was one of the best flow I’ve ever had! I found really difficult to find on RUclips good intermediate flow, this one was epic. Thank you so much, I hope you’re gonna upload more intermediate flows. ❤️
Hi Leigha! I wanted to say THANK YOU for this class - it's so wonderful for my oh-so-tight hips. I was able to get into lotus at the end of this practice, which has historically been very difficult for me.
I love your 45 - 60 min videos, I use them all the time for my home practice. I appreciate that you do voice over - your cues and instructions for props/modifications are great. I also love that you smile during your practice; you look so blissful.
My only suggestion would be to add a minute or two of guided relaxation for savasana - it always seems short.
You're the best, thank you, thank you!
+Cindi Paternoster Thanks you for your kind and constructive words! That's a wonderful idea.
Yet another incredible flow - perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Thank you x
He opened his hips and the sun rose.
the warrior humbled, and life flowed
reclined marichasana is an incredible hold
he lotusd' up and the skies rained gold
With words some thoughts are best unsaid
so...joined palms and bowed head
Sending love all the way 'ya
Thanks a mighty mill lovely Leigha ...
+2imbamax I love these! Amazing!! Thanks for your glorious words.
This class was truly magical. I did this last night with some shrooms and it was so beautiful. Your guidance and transitions were much needed. Love you Leigh💞thank you so much.
💕💕💕
Meditation through one's practice eventually allows the control of the outgoing tendency of the mind; bringing inward while attaining perfect silence.Thank you for the share Leigha.Blessings
+Seemliss Pewplz Thank you
I love your videos - yours were the first I discovered when I began practicing yoga regularly about a year and a half ago. What a change this practice has inspired, what light has come into my body, mind, and soul! I pulled my hamstring just over a year ago, and still have a little tightness there, but practicing this today I felt a release of the emotional energy in that area, and am feeling quite free and joyful as I write this now. Thank you for sharing your light and wisdom, Leigha! Namaste.
+Bethany Ramus I loved hearing this. Thank you for sharing it.
more videos like this PLEASE!! So beneficial and easy to follow. Love Love it.
I just did a lotus pose for the first time. Loved your class, I will be back for more. Namaste.
What what a wonderful class today.I've been doing this class regularly and my feel my hips feels so much more open .thank you so much
Leigha, thank you so much for so generously sharing your expertise - your classes are amazing, I am always excited when a new class comes out! I have learn so much form them !!
I really enjoyed this class. Best class I had in a long time. Thank you so much!
I think it's the best hip-opening class I've ever done. Exactly what I needed, thank you! :)
Leigha you are the best !!!! I have watched so many videos and teachers, your practices are way better!!!
Thank you!
Namaste
❤️
I am practicing with you everyday
Thank YOU so so very much Leigha! Loved doing this again today! Hugs and love.
Thank you for this artful video and your fluid approach. I really appreciate not being rushed through the poses.
This was great. You're classes are helping me become so much more graceful.
An energizing yet softening, very creative flow. Your voice and pacing are spot on for me! Thank you for this class🙏🏼
I love your videos, you have such a kind and soft way of teaching. Thank you
pure bliss :) thank you! i love the hip opening/hip flexor videos
Thank you very much for this beautiful class. The flow was very pleasant and I really enjoyed holding hip opening poses for longer then usual. Amazing energy too! Namaste 🙏🤗❤
My right hip has been talking to me SO MUCH since I had my daughter and this was really helpful! Thanks so much!
You are the real deal. I can only imagine how much time and patience you have poured into your practice. Thank you for sharing your gift.
I really like how this one has an intro! Helps me ease into the practise a little more than just starting off straight into it. Great video, great playlist! Can't wait to see more for intermediate :)
Thanks so much!!
A wonderful way to start this sunday morning! Thank you
Thank you, that was a lovely class. I was doing well until we went to the floor. I still have a lot more opening to do there but I knew that.
This was such a deceptively beautiful practice. Thank you sooooo much Leigh!!!! Thank you for sharing this amazing practice and your time and energy, Namaste!🙏❤
Oh this was amazing. Nurturing my body and my soul. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Wonderful! 🤩
Greeat hip opening class! Thank you so much Leigha! My vibes are much happier now
Fabulous - thank you and greetings from Salt Lake City!
Great job. Good teacher.
Sweet hips! Thank you my yogi sister! Namaskar🙏🙏🏿🍒
excellent, with covid, studios closed this was wonderful, god bless. Even with studios open your channel is priceless!
Super lovely class thanks, happy Monday 😬😎
Thank you so very much! Exactly what I needed right now 🌞
I feel aaaamazing after this class!
I’m so glad!
I just did 10 of a routine as a challenge... hands to sky, bend back, hands to sky, bend forwards, crow pose, headstand, stand again and hands high... I did 10 its quite demanding. :D
I enjoyed this very much. Thank you so so much for this!
Really love this class... it is exactly what I need when i want to open my hips without necessarily doing a passive yin practice. LOVE!!!
thank you! enjoyed the class
My first class with you and I absolutely loved the atmosphere!
I’m so glad!
Thank you so much Leigha! This was wonderful and exactly what I needed after a long day at work, and too many tight muscles from weekend workouts. I loved the creative sequencing in the flow, with going to the back of the mat, and such great cuing that made it all flow seamlessly. Also, my shoulders are thanking you for the few shoulder openers throughout the practice. Thanks again!
For future recommendations, maybe a flow focus on opening the shoulders, like the front shoulders, in a sequence that progresses to loosen them up and then being able to do bird of paradise for example at the end. I love shoulder openers when they're also mixed in with hip openers.
+Jannah Obaid I love this idea. Thank you!
Love your classes, keep them coming :)
Thank you so much, it's a really beautiful sequence. I will share it!
wow your videos and sequences are soo good, thank you.
the build up to harder positions is really smooth

+soyajewell 🙏🏽
I love this practice. Is so good for my hips. Thank you for that
I’m very glad 🙂
What a wonderful, perfectly paced, yummy and awesome hip opening flow, Leigha! I loved every second of every minute of this practice. You are a wonderful teacher, please keep the videos coming :) Hugs from Budapest, Hungary!
Thank you for that lovely flow! Much needed. 🙏🏼
Hey leigha! Love your videos, they really allow me to grow my practice! (my hips feel AWESOME after this one! haha)
I was wondering if you could maybe do some Vlogs though? about healthy eating, mindfulness, how to keep a regular practice?
Not sure if that's you're thing, but it would sure be great to hear what you have to say! Thanks!! Keep em coming!! Yay!
+Jess Ess hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I hadn't really considered this at all, but it gets the juices flowing.
Thank you for the wonderful class 🙏
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Hey, I love your classes! Hugs from Brazil! Do you sugest any particular video for twists?
Leigha, I found your channel three days ago. I tried to do one of your yoga flows and I could only do 15 min (I was short for 15 min)
✨
I did ashtanga yoga in 2011 2016 (two weeks ago is when I'm retaking yoga) I lost so much of my flexibility 😳
✨
anyhow I'm glad I found you!!!
+Donna Bombonatto (earthrawgirl) Welcome back to the practice!
love hip opener's!
thank you Leigha!
😊
Thank you for another wonderful sequence Leigha. I was wondering if you could share some tips on how you shoot your yoga videos, the equipment you use and such?
Thank you very much, your style of practice is always fun and creative.
Yara

+The Light Wizard I have a handheld video cam propped up on yoga blocks! I use FCPX to edit and voiceover.
Ótima aula, grato!!!
Amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing sequence add to favorites !!!!! ;-) Congrats!!!
I might do this (and possibly diverge a bit from it in places with the help of the pause button before rejoining again) tomorrow morning for a slight change upon my usual variations before heading out. I like that there aren't too many downdogs -- these days that posture doesn't sit well with my stomach unfortunately.
+FluidlyWillful I hope it works out :)
I think this is probably a better one to do in the evening (it's quite a nice non-vigorous class with bits to activate your muscles and warm up a bit and then stretches), but I just skipped the longer holds and did more extended moving things on the same muscles (or did them and just moved in and out of them), and just did the stretched lightly or actively at the end. :) It did the trick, thanks. :)
Wonderfull, can't thank you enough. This really inspires me to continue my daily practice and to become a limitless Yogi haha namasté 🙏
Fantastic! Loved everything about it! Very pregnancy-friendly as well (apart from cobra =P) Thank you very much from France.
Feeling great, Thank you! 😊💕
I’m so glad!
Hey, Leigha I wonder if you can recommend a beautiful book to read, some to get inspiration to see life in beautiful rhythm of words? Namaste, Lover of the Universe Ommmm, we love and thank you for Yoga flow in our homes and on our screens and in our hearts!
Desikachar’s Heart of Yoga, Erich Schiffmann’s Moving into Stillness, any of Mooji’s books... Rhadanath Swami’s The Journey Home...
This was great!!! I did this in my living room in Oklahoma. :) Just in case you're curious how far you're reaching!
Hi Thanks for this video, loved it ☺ I'm new to yoga but quickly realised I have very poor outer hip flexibility, inner hip isn't great either, by comparison to the rest of me. Please could you do another video to help outer hip flexibility if you get chance? Or any tips to stretch them out? Thanks
Yes, happily!
In the meantime, your best friends, as u probably already know: pigeon, double pigeon, GOMUKASANA!!!
I have an hour-long Hips video on my member site too. Stay in touch!
Soo good soo mindful!
+Danielle Downie :) :) :)
This was such a wonderful class :)
+Nicole Cerna Thank you
Thank you for the flow 🙏
My pleasure
Great practice Leigha!
Thank you!! ❤
loved your class today.though i feel we should have had a counter pose after the last exercise
I hope you paused and gave yourself a counter pose then!
beautiful!
Nice yoga classes !

Beautiful expression
My hips are pretty open so I almost skipped this one - glad I didn't!!!
