Hip Mobility Workshop

$89
The complete recording of the Hip Mobility Workshop, Part II of the Embodied Intelligence Series, filmed live in San Francisco.
This is the full session: the anatomy of the deep six, the five stations, and the room working through each one. You move through the same sequence the room did, at your own pace.
Most tight hips are not short muscles. They are a rotation problem.
Underneath your glutes sit six small muscles ("The Deep Six) that steer the femur inside the socket. When they never learn to organize, the body braces instead of turning, and borrows range from the low back and the knee. You can stretch that arrangement for years without changing it, because it was never a length problem.
This is the full ninety minute recording of Part II of the Embodied Intelligence Series, filmed live in San Francisco. It is not a flow class. It is a working session on one joint, in depth.
What you will get
Test your own hips across five stations: rotation, extension, standing stability, and a floor rise, and see where the two sides differ
Learn the deep six by name and by feel: piriformis, the gemelli, the obturators, quadratus femoris, and what each one does to the femur
Train internal and external rotation directly, rather than hoping range appears as a by-product
Work with the anatomy in front of you: skeleton, pelvis model, and your own hand on your own hip crease
Re-test at the end, so the change is something you measured rather than something you hoped for
Who this is for
Desk bound professionals, lifters, runners, cyclists, and movement students who want to understand the joint, not just stretch it. No yoga background needed.
The long game
Hip rotation range is associated with maintaining everyday function as we age. Research also links a steady ten second single leg stance, and the ability to lower to the floor and rise again, with better survival odds in adults over fifty. These findings are associational and drawn from specific populations. They are not a prediction about you. What they do suggest is that this is trainable, and worth training early.
Included
The Hip Practice, a full ninety minute workshop recording
The Hip Reset, a printable one page daily practice you can run in ten minutes + a 14 day tracker you can check ✅
The Hip Read, a printable one page diagnostic. The 5 Stations, 15 minutes. Hip mobility in all planes of motions: hip extension, flexion, external and internal rotation, and the frontal-plane stability that holds the pelvis level
The Hip Assessment, a web app with a clearly visualized anatomy with assessment quizes that read your hips in bands across Mobility, Stability and Attunement, so you can re-test on day 14 and watch what moved
Educational movement, not medical or diagnostic advice. Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain.
