Simple Hip Control Exercises
Improve Hip Control, Exercises for Feeling and Controlling Your Hip Bones (pelvis)
On page cat links
Improve awareness and control of your pelvis and hip joints
Simple Hip Control includes 2 sets of video designed to help you improve awareness and control of your pelvis and hip joints.
These exercises can be used to increase hip stability and control. They can also be used to help improve hip flexibility.
The initial exercises are to help you develop awareness of some basic pelvic landmarks. Once you can "feel" these landmarks, the next set of exercises is in using these landmarks to either stabilize the pelvis or deliberately move it.
- The first set of exercises develops some control of the deep muscles of the hip and can be used to help stabilize the hip joint and pelvis.
- The second set of exercises develops control of your hip extensors and hip flexors.
You'll learn how to use your hip muscles to control the forward or backward tilt of your pelvis relative to your legs.
Modifications are Included
The exercises are demonstrated using props (chairs, yoga blocks, walls) so that if you are less flexible you can easily see what you have to do to do the exercises effectively.
For more flexible practitioners, you can do the poses without props or use the props to progressively change the poses.
Tools for Becoming an Even Better Teacher
For yoga teachers, these videos can be used to help you to feel particular hip muscle activations in your own body and that makes it easier to recognize when your students are doing the muscle activations also.
The videos also offer clear and simple exercises and progressions that you can use with your own students.
Part 1 is about thirty minutes of video in 8 parts, each focusing on a particular exercise for controlling and feeling the hip joint.
Part 2 is slightly longer (10 parts) and has a different focus, creating tension around the hip joint.
Controlling Tension
Without going into detailed anatomy, the hip tension you learn to create in part 2 is the result of deeper hip muscle activation which in turn makes it easier to activate other leg muscles.
Generally, these activations improve hip stability and/or pelvic stability (Si joint stability) making hip stretching and strengthening yoga poses like triangle, standing forward bend, chair pose, lounge, half side splits and front splits more comfortable and possibly more effective with respect to strengthening and improving flexibility.
Video Format
The videos are streamable or downloadable and are 1080 x 720 High resolution.
The videos are relatively short and to the point, with the intent of giving you the necessary information so that you can get on with feeling and learning to control your own body.
A Routine or a Set of Exercises To Help You Learn Better Hip Control
The exercises from these videos could be used as a routine. However, the exercises are taught in such a way that you can use these actions in any pose.
The instruction in these videos is designed to help you to feel and control your hips and pelvis so that you can use that awareness and control to explore your body freely.
A Complement to Muscle Control
The exercises in this video could be considered a compliment to those in the thigh muscle control for the front and back of the thighs videos.
Where the focus in that program is on moving the legs, this video focuses on control of the pelvis.
