Squats and Lunges for Hips with Lucy Yamamoto

Squats and lunges are fundamental actions—in sports, in rehab, in daily life. They train the hip joint to be mobile and stable. If you do yoga, you’re in luck. You can practice these actions in basic asana.

In this workshop, we’ll target poses related to squats and lunges (think Utkatasana and Virabhadrasana I). We’ll work on both range of motion and on strength, primarily in neutral orientation. Expect a hip-oriented sequence, ending with some releasing backbends and restoratives.

2-4pm, January 31, 2026, $36
