Movement for Healthy Hips
6 weeks to stronger, happier hips
How do your hips feel right now?
Be honest, because we both know those hips don’t lie.
You might write this off as normal. As in, “it’s normal for my hips to feel a little stiff if I’m sitting in a chair all day.”
Or “it’s normal to have trouble falling asleep at night because your tight hips just won’t let you get comfortable.”
Or, “it’s normal to take ibuprofen in the morning with my coffee so my hips don’t ache through the day.”
Maybe your hips don’t give you that much grief.
But you’d like to move more easily than you do.
You want more swivel in your hips.
I mean, really you’d just be happy to be able to get down on the floor to play with your kids without making noises usually only heard on the professional tennis circuit.
I want to help you with that.
I want to teach you how to use your hips more effectively so you increase your strength, stability, and range of motion.
I want you to learn simple ways to move your hips with more ease so your whole body feels stronger and more connected.
You are in the right place if:
Your hips often feel tight and stiff
You have consistent, nagging low back pain
Your body never really healed or felt strong again postpartum
You dread getting down on the floor to play with your kids because it’s uncomfortable. And you’re worried you might not be able to get back up.
You’re not as active as you’d like to be
You sometimes have trouble falling asleep because your hips feel so uncomfortable. And sometimes you wake up in pain.
You’re bored with the typical “hip openers” you see in every other yoga class
If you are consistent with these practices, in 6 weeks you will:
Feel stronger, feel more stability, and freedom in your hips.
Feel reduced pain in your low back.
Move your body with greater ease.
Feel stronger and more coordinated everyday movements (like playing with your kids on the floor with ease or a flight of stairs).
Experience better balance and body stability.
Have better tools for relieving stress and tension
Have a renewed commitment to your movement practice
Naomi, I really love your format. You are absolutely amazing! What I like is that you have simple moves that you repeat, making them pretty darn strenuous. Combining strength building with mobility is hard for me, I admit, with so many months of no yoga. Honestly 15 minutes is about all I can handle right now. So really, this is perfect. Thank you!
Why does having healthy hips matter?
When your hips are not healthy, you probably experience discomfort or even pain. You might feel instability or a lack of mobility. And hip pain doesn’t just stay in your hips; it can trigger a chain of misalignment throughout your body.
It can make life less enjoyable because you can’t do all of the things you want to do.
Plus, if you don’t start paying attention to your hips now, it doesn’t get easier as you get older.
I know it can be hard to believe that the health of your hips can make that much of an impact in your body, but it’s true.
Your Tools and Support for Your Hips from Me
The emails will help keep you on track, plus you’ll receive evidence-based tips and support for committing to a daily or simply more consistent practice.
3 Tutorials for Smarter and Safer Strength Training: Fundamentals of Squats, Fundamentals of Deadlifts, and Fundamentals of Lunges, plus a bonus video, Hip Anatomy Basics
Movement FirstAid Kit (video series) for SI Joint pain, “yoga butt”/high hamstrings pain, knee pain, and low back discomfort
I was skeptical that this program would make my hips feel better, but they do. Really, my whole body feels better! I don’t struggle as much to get off the floor, plus the increased mobility and stability improved my recovery from spinning workouts, instead of feeling that the spinning bound my hips. I have fallen in love with your quick workouts that target strength, mobility and stability in all areas of my body.
AND HERE’S THE THING:
I get it. I’m a mom of 3.
I created these practices to be quick and efficient.
All of these videos are less than 20-minutes long.
You don’t need loads of time or fancy equipment or fancy yoga pants (although those can be fun).
All you need is to commit to yourself for a few minutes everyday on your mat.
Easy peasy hamstrings squeezey.
HOW MOVEMENT FOR HEALTHY HIPS WORKS:
I created 3 specific movement paths within this program:
Strength-building with hand weights | Creative and dynamic mobility work | Restore and recover
These 3 movement paths cover the basics of hip health.
Each week you’ll work on these 3 paths in slightly different ways, one day and one practice at a time.
For the STRENGTH CLASSES, you’ll start in a basic-level approach to a strength-based, hip-specific exercise with hand weights. After 2 weeks with those basic level exercises, you’ll have the opportunity to step up to a slightly more challenging version of that exercise or stay working where you are.
For the MOBILITY CLASSES, you’ll incorporate mobility exercises into sequences that make hip movement both fun as well as effective.
Over the course of the program, these practices increase in challenge. You’ll also do some of them more than once.
You will do a brief warm up and cool down in the strength and mobility classes, but the majority of the time spent during these practices is focused on your hips.
The RESTORE AND RECOVER CLASSES are intended to help you relieve stress and relax after more the dynamic and challenging classes.
After just 5 days, my hips feel wonderful! Thanks so much for your creativity, purposeful lessons and honest conversations. You are wonderful!!!.
AND ONE MORE THING:
While I encourage you to move your body daily, which is why I’ve created this as a 6-week, daily practice program, I also understand that sometimes that just might not be possible.
I will give you a weekly focus and daily tips helping you to integrate these practices into your everyday routines.
And also, if you need a break, missing a day and a practice, it’s no big deal. There’s another one coming at you the following day.
This is just what my hips and I have been looking for. I have some persistent pain in my right leg/hip and I was trying to stretch it away but now I am strengthening it and it’s making a huge difference. Thank you!
I have a few special BONUS gifts for you, too
If you sign up before December 28th, I’ll offer you 4 things to keep you busy until the program officially begins on January 2nd:
6 of my favorite hips-focused classes from my online archives, spread out every few days to get you moving. Some of these will have a built in meditation at the end, for bonus calm and grounding.
Access to all of the live classes in my online studio, MOVE with Naomi through December for FREE
A selection of 3 meditations to help keep you grounded and steady through the holiday season
I am super glad I did the first week of hips. I’ve been so worried/focused on my hips lately, and feel like it gave me some confidence that maybe I’m just tight/weak, and that there isn’t something seriously wrong. Good stuff. Thank you!
Don’t just take it from me.
Read a little bit about what my students have to say.
These are a few peeps who’ve taken my classes and have had some powerful, positive experiences.
“I recommend Naomi’s yoga classes to everyone! She is an amazing yoga instructor and has really inspired me to commit to yoga every day. My body feels so much better since I started doing yoga with Naomi!”
“Naomi is a down-to-earth person with nuanced knowledge of and passion for movement. She is a true teacher of how sensitivity and strength aren’t separate concepts but are vital, interactive elements of experience”
“Moving your body has benefits whether you’re doing one pose or twenty. Thank you for making movement doable and fun”
