Read My Hips

About This Class

In "Read My Hips," Desiree Crossman guides a dynamic, playful hip-focused mobility flow designed to create internal and external rotation through the acetabulum and femur head. The class opens with standing hip circles and Warrior Two work — deliberately shifting weight forward and back to engage the glutes, quads, and hamstrings — before transitioning to a low lunge, optional half splits, and a wide squat sequence with lateral weight shifts and twists. Those comfortable with the movement can explore an arm balance variation from the squat. The floor portion introduces side-lying hip lifts, Butterfly Pose with elbow and palm pressing into the inner thighs for a deep groin release, and a gentle bridge variation with an overhead reach. Desiree speaks openly about her own limited hip mobility, making the class especially welcoming to practitioners who struggle in this area. The tone is informal, encouraging, and playful — props like blocks are suggested for support in the squat, and movements are kept intentional to protect the knees and pelvic girdle throughout.
