Join Dav Jones in this focused Abdominals & Hips practice designed to build strength, stability, and control from the inside out. This class targets deep core activation while opening and strengthening the hips to support better movement patterns. Through intentional sequencing, you’ll develop coordination between breath and muscle engagement. Dav shares a tutorial on how to integrate the 4 groups of abdominals with breath along with the added addition of hip strengthening postures. Suitable for all levels, this session will leave you feeling grounded, strong, and more connected to your body.
What are Abdominals & Hips in Yoga?
In yoga, the abdominals and hips are central to almost every movement and posture. The abdominals consist of four key muscle groups – the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and internal and external obliques – all working together to stabilize the spine and support controlled movement.
The hips act as a major junction point in the body, connecting the upper and lower halves. Strong and mobile hips improve posture, reduce strain on the lower back, and enhance overall flexibility.
When these two areas work together, they create a stable and responsive foundation for movement, balance, and breath awareness in yoga practice.
