This workshop will increase space, strength, stability, and mobility in the joint between the pelvis and the femur, called the hip joint. This practice will make your hips happy and, for sure, less cranky and funky. The pelvis is a major storage area for tension and old emotions. Come, offer yourself relief, and take an accessible sequence of postures home to practice, keeping your hips happy and healthy so you can enjoy your life.

Zoreh Afsarzadeh, founder and director of High Desert Yoga, has been teaching yoga since 1985. In addition to teaching weekly asana classes and private sessions for the general population, co-directing the Yoga Teacher Training program, and hosting yoga and meditation retreats around the world, Zoreh leads weekend workshops on a wide variety of topics in yoga and well-being. Zoreh’s upbringing in Iran started her on the path of Sufism, meditation, and spirituality, and during her lifetime, she has studied numerous methodologies including Iyengar, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Siddha yoga, and that of the American Yoga College. Zoreh’s joyous personality and sense of humor endear her to her students with a teaching style that is both nurturing and fun, and her teaching combines a delicate knowledge of the body that allows a compassionate authentic expression of the postures to emerge.
