Open Your Hips!
with Natasha Rizopoulos

Discover the essential principles that will transform your hips and translate into freedom in all of your postures. We'll use standing, seated and supine postures to increase your range of motion in all directions, and you'll both release your hips and leave class empowered to continue the opening in your regular practice.

As a former ballet dancer, Natasha knew she had come home when she discovered Yoga in her 20s. That moment of recognition and delight continues to inspire her teaching to this day.

Now a Senior Teacher with YogaWorks and Down Under Yoga, and a writer, teacher, and DVD instructor for Yoga Journal, Natasha is known world-wide for her ability to communicate the essence of sophisticated postures and ideas in ways that have a transformative effect upon one’s understanding of Yoga.

A dedicated Ashtanga practitioner for many years, she is equally captivated by the precision of the Iyengar system. These two traditions inform her teaching, creating a dynamic and rigorous blend of intelligently sequenced and aligned Vinyasa Flow.
