Releasing Tension: Hips

Our hips - they help us move through life. But they can also feel as if they’re on lock down: Too much sitting. Too much repetitive movement. Injury. Inflammation. Stress. This Embodied Meditation combines a gentle movement sequence and a guided relaxation to melt tension-holding patterns of all kinds in the hips.

Wonderful, will return. First time to do reclining butterfly with pillows and it felt so nice! Thank you, Paige.

Absolutely exquisite. This practice helped me move through some emotions stored in the hips. So calming and relaxing. I'll definitely be doing this again x 🙏🏼 bless you

Awesome class- soothing and allowing gentle movement, great use of language and information on hip tension- will definitely do again.
Thanks so much ☺️🙏❤️

Best thing I've tried in a very long time! I'm on to the next already.

Lovely. Helpful. Loving. My hips and my whole being thank you.

Soothing, well paced, informative! Really enjoy your meditation style.

Lovely after sitting all day at a desk! Thank you ☮️💟🕉️

So amazing Paige ! Especially during my moon cycle ! Best best best
Thank you 🙏🏻

So relaxing and thorough. I could follow all the movement because of the clear instructions. I did the session in bed this morning. Wonderful ❤️

Very nice. The scan of the hips and thighs at the end was amazing!

Possibly the best yet! Your meditations are so helpful with my chronic pain and I’m very grateful. 🙏

I really liked this practice. I have problems with my SI joints slipping out of place (the SI belt helps on days I need to use it), and some morning I wake up with everything in my pelvis out of place, moving down into the hips which themselves have some bursitis and are hypermobile. I loved that this was done entirely on the back, which helped realign my pelvis and SI jonts, while the hand control of the legs allowed the hips to truly relax while still receiving much-needed movement and fluidity. I didn't need the cushions at the end - sometimes I find I have slept comfortably all night with the soles of my feet touching and my knees resting flat on the bed - but I can definitely see how that would be helpful, and even without them, the movement prior to that shape enabled the hips to relax more fully than they have before. I still have a bit if soreness in my right hip, though that might be some bursitis or one of those mystery bruises I'm famous for collecting - we'll see later while preparing for the rest of the day. Meanwhile, soreness aside, the entire area feels as though it is giving me a relaxed and contented smile, which is a beautiful thing indeed. 😊

Thank you so much for sharing these here. There's no way I could afford to do daily classes somewhere for all the areas I need to keep aligned and moving, so these practices and those from a couple other instructors with different styles and foci have been lifesavers for me in my continued ability to be mobile and active. Blessings to you and all Insight Timer teachers for your generosity and time. I see you and the light within you. Be well. 🤲🏻❤🤲🏻

So relaxing, my hips feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Thank you Page 🌻

That was very helpful... I am having some trouble with hip pain because of tight muscles. This is a good, gentle routine.

Very relaxing 😊 and helpful

Love these focused mini stretches and relaxation 🧘🏼‍♀️

Wonderful way to transition off computer to prepare for bed. Thanks 😊

Very helpful approach to the pain (and fear about it) I've been having in my hips🙏🏽💖

Thank you so much for this series it has helped me through tension pain. Your instructions clear and easy to follow. The music and your voice invite such deep relaxation.

Excellent guidance for working with hip tension. I have chronic, recurring tension and sciatica associated with stress. Moving and then relaxing my hips is very helpful. I also really appreciate the lack of bell at the end so I can drift off into sleep if possible. Another advantage of this guidance is that there were no extremely long pauses followed by a voice, which can startle. The background noise was also soothing. Extremely well done! I will definitely come back to this again and again. Thank you so much!
