XL: Hip Release with Yoga & CBT
With Shengnan Lu
Free your hips, Free your emotions
The hips are often called the "emotional storage center" of the body, holding onto stress, past experiences, and tension from daily life.
Tight hips can lead to physical discomfort and emotional stagnation, often linked to feelings of fear, insecurity, or control issues.
This workshop blends yoga and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you release deep-seated stress and emotional blockages, cultivating greater freedom in both body and mind.
Sheng will guide you through a therapeutic yoga sequence focused on hip mobility, stability, and deep release, using mindful movement and breath to let go of tension. Alongside this, you will engage in CBT-based writing exercises, exploring how mental stress and unprocessed emotions contribute to hip tightness—and how to shift these patterns for lasting relief.
Discover how the connection between your hips and mind impacts your overall well-being, and learn to move beyond tension with practical tools for resilience and relaxation.
What to expect:
- Guided self-inquiry and journaling to identify personal stressors.
- A yoga flow focused on hip-opening postures to increase mobility and emotional release.
- CBT-based techniques to reframe limiting beliefs and ease mental tension.
- Breathwork and relaxation practices for nervous system balance.
Why join?
This workshop is ideal for anyone experiencing tight hips, lower back discomfort, or emotional stagnation—or simply looking for a holistic approach to stress relief. Leave feeling lighter, more open, and deeply connected to yourself.
