It's easy to think of strength and mobility as mutually exclusive qualities, yet each is a component of the other! Whether you're getting up off the floor, putting luggage in an overhead bin, or competing as an athlete at any level, your body needs to be able to produce force and tolerate force through various ranges of motion. In fact, I consider good mobility as the capacity to produce and tolerate force through the necessary range of motion for any task. For instance, you may have the range of motion in your shoulders to get into the shape of down dog, but in order to do the pose you also need the strength to weight-bear in that shape. In the same way, you may be easily able to weight bear through your arms, but you will have trouble with down dog if you run out of shoulder or hip range of motion on your way to the pose. Mobility is something that you can train both on and off the mat, and is a great approach to your movement work whether you want to gain strength, range of motion, or both. 

In this workshop, you'll learn a simple approach to improve your mobility in general, as well as specific practices for working with your hip mobility, whether you want to make it a component of your yoga asana practice, general workout routine, or random breaks in your day.
