Listen "Happy Hip Opening | Fitness Ep 05"
Episode Synopsis
🧘🏼 Discover the transformative power of hip opening movements in this essential episode designed to relieve low back tension and improve your daily mobility! Carol guides you through a comprehensive kneeling hip flexor stretch sequence that addresses the tight hip sockets and thighs that result from our sedentary lifestyles. Learn her signature 90-degree positioning technique that simultaneously opens the hip flexors while activating often-dormant glutes and hamstrings - perfect for combating "gluteal amnesia" from too much sitting.This practical 3-minute routine not only stretches and strengthens but also teaches you how to gracefully transition from floor to standing, improving your balance and coordination. Carol emphasizes proper pelvic alignment, chest opening variations, and the importance of breath work to turn your movement practice into a "mini meditation." Whether you're dealing with tight hips from desk work or simply want to move more fluidly throughout your day, this episode provides accessible techniques that deliver remarkable results with regular practice.ABOUT CAROL BERINGER: With 25+ years of experience, Carol combines expertise in brain-based functional movement, Pilates, and yoga to help clients achieve improved posture, pain relief, and lifelong wellness.
