Hip external rotation is the action that turns the thigh out and open. in yoga we see this in postures like pigeon, figure 4, and head to shin pose, as well as many others! Often we are working this in more passive ways. in this class we focus on active opening of these tissues and creating more resilience in these areas.
You might like to have a blanket, block, and bolster or pillow, as there will be some options to use them.
