Although ALL of my classes are Vinyasa (unless specifically noted as a different style, like Rebecca’s Ghosh), the following classes have a focus of Hip Openers.
Vinyasa Yoga with IT band stretching
Runners, cyclists, hikers: this is for you. By request, this vinyasa class has a focus on stretching the IT band (runs along the outside of the your thigh, starting at your pelvis and connects [...]
Vinyasa with extra hip mobility and strength work
Mmmm... raise your hand if you love working those hips! (crickets) Ok, me either, but for those of us that do a lot of repetitive forward to back movements like running, hiking, and cycling, [...]
Vinyasa with Extra Hip / Back Love
We spend a little extra time working on low back stretches and hip opening in this class. It's still a challenging vinyasa class, but we start a little slower, exploring mobility. [...]
Hip Opening Vinyasa
This is another challenging class (grab your hand towel, it's a sweaty one) and we really work on getting into those hips. We build up chair figure fours until we land in our flying [...]
Working toward Bird of Paradise
Working deliberately towards bird of paradise and bound bird of paradise in this class. Need to work on getting your hips mobile enough for bird of paradise? This is a good flow class for [...]
Move, move, move
Sometimes I crave constant movement for an hour. No long holds. That's what this class does. We also do quite a lot of hip mobility work as we work towards 8 angle pose (Astavakrasana). [...]

Ever finish a class and think, "yeah, my booty is gonna be talking for a few days." That's where I am right now. Skandasanas, squats, goddess poses and and figure 4 chairs get our [...]
Challenging Flow with Balancing
We start with some very traditional Ashtanga sun salutations before getting creative with our flow. We also spend a little extra time stretching hips at the end of the practice, so if you need [...]
Open Those Hip Flexors
Often I take requests before live class. I love addressing students' issues in real time. After all, yoga is therapy! Well, this one was for me. Yoga is very good at stretching out hamstrings. [...]
Slow hip opening to 8 angle pose
Through (too many!) figure 4 chairs and long standing pose holds, we really get into those hips. This is the kind of practices that challenges your mental fortitude as much as your physical strength. [...]
Figure 4s and Hip Openers
We get into figure 4s today and work on hip opening. This is a slower class this time. We'll marinate in those figure 4s and hopefully make some progress. [...]
HIP OPENERS! Working towards LBH (Leg Behind the Head)
There are few things a yoga teacher can say that scares students more than "leg behind the head," but don't be scared. You might be surprised at how close you are and how accessible it [...]
