Transform your yoga with the Buttafly — finding ease through the hips
The hips are remarkable joints — designed to provide both stability and freedom of movement. As one of the body’s major weight-bearing areas, they play an important role in how we sit, stand, move and practise yoga.
Many people experience restriction around the hips, often described as “tight hips” or “tight hamstrings”. Yet what we feel in one area of the body does not always tell the whole story. The relationship between the pelvis, spine, hips, legs and connective tissues is complex, and understanding these connections can transform the way we approach our practice.
In this practical workshop, we’ll explore the hips with greater attention, discovering how thoughtful positioning and the support of the Buttafly can create new possibilities for comfort, movement and natural alignment.
Rather than forcing greater range of movement, we’ll explore ways to help the body find more space, respond with greater ease and develop a more supportive relationship with familiar yoga poses.
Suitable for all levels of yoga practitioner, from beginners to experienced teachers.

The workshop will be held live online via Zoom, giving you the opportunity to learn, ask questions and explore the practice together.
If you can’t make it live, or would simply like to revisit what you’ve learned, everyone who books will receive access to the workshop recording for 7 days.
There will be opportunities to ask questions during the live workshop. If you’d like personalised guidance specific to your own body or practice, one-to-one consultations are also available.
This workshop forms part of the Transform Your Yoga with the Buttafly series. Each workshop explores a different aspect of yoga practice and can be enjoyed on its own or as part of the complete series.
