This hip flexion lecture is the first lesson from my full continuing education course:
🦴⚙️ Understanding Hip Movement: Flexion, Extension, Abduction & Adduction– A Yoga Continuing Education Course
Duration: 2.5 hours | Yoga Alliance CE credit: 2.5 hours
In the complete course, we continue exploring:
hip extension
hip abduction
hip adduction
open vs. closed chain movement
the difference between joint position and muscular effort
how gravity, resistance, and biomechanics influence what’s actually being loaded in yoga poses
These biomechanics-based movement analysis concepts are often missing from traditional yoga anatomy education, which tends to focus more heavily on memorizing joint positions and muscle names than understanding force, load, and muscular effort in movement.
This course includes:
✅ 4 in-depth lectures
✅ 4 short quizzes
✅ 2.5 Yoga Alliance CE hours
