Hip & Back Clinic

Support your hips and back with mindful strength, mobility, and breath

This course weaves together foundational yoga postures, functional movement, and corrective exercises to support hip stability, mobility, and back health.

Saturday, 19th October to 16th November
9:30am – 10:30am

Purpose-Driven Movement

The hips and lower back form a complex, load-bearing system that are susceptible to tension, weakness, or instability. Research shows that limited hip mobility, weak glutes, and poor core control are strongly linked to hip, lower back, and SI joint discomfort and degeneration.

By combining strengthening with mobility training, we can reduce pain, improve stability, and enhance functional movement—creating a body that feels supported and capable in daily life.

Movement Longevity

Aging well is moving well. Conscious movement helps prevent injury, maintain balance, and nurture vitality, offering tools for independence and resilience as we grow older. Rather than pushing through or ignoring the body’s signals, we learn to listen deeply—building longevity not only in our joints and muscles, but also in our confidence, ease, and enjoyment of movement.

 

You will explore research informed practices such as:

  1. Hip & spine mobility sequences — to release tension, improve flexibility, and support healthy movement patterns

  2. Functional core and glute strengthening — with resistance bands and yoga props to build stability, balance, and support for the lower back and SI joints

  3. Breath-led practices — integrating diaphragm, pelvic floor, and core to enhance stability, reduce pain, and calm the nervous system

  4. Myofascial release — using yoga therapy balls and simple tools to ease tightness, improve circulation, and restore freedom of movement

  5. Restorative postures — supported with bolsters and blankets for deep release, nervous system balance, and integration.

Who this course is for

  • Anyone experiencing hip, lower back, or SI joint discomfort

  • Mature people wanting to increase strength and mobility and decrease pain and discomfort

  • Students seeking a supportive, mindful space outside of a gym environment

  • Those who appreciate a gentle, progressive pace with time to feel, adapt, and move with awareness

  • "She's helped me regain strength, get my body moving again, and feel confident in my physical abilities."

    “Jen's private yoga therapy sessions have been a game-changer for me. I showed up with a body that was all wound up from years of desk work and too much stress. With her personalised approach, she's helped me regain strength, get my body moving again, and feel confident in my physical abilities again. I feel much less stressed and more relaxed. Jen's not just a skilled and intuitive teacher, she's got a great sense of humor that's infectious. I always look forward to our weekly sessions. I can't recommend her enough!”

  • "After a few sessions, I began to experience significant relief."

    “Before I started yoga therapy with Jen, my sciatic nerve pain was excruciating. It affected my daily life, making it hard to move or even sit comfortably. I was miserable. After a few sessions, I began to experience significant relief. Jen created a program which I did at home between sessions that gave me immediate relief. With her guidance, I've not only found relief from the pain but also gained a better understanding of how to manage and prevent it. I can't thank Jen enough for helping me get back on my feet!

  • "Jen has a generous and intuitive approach"

    Jen has such a generous and intuitive approach when working with me one to one. I adore her teaching, her gentle wisdom and and her fully grounded, warm and earthy energy.

    Jen meets me where I am in my yoga practice with no judgement and so much kindness. I feel so seen and validated by her respectful approach to my needs, and together, we find gentle ways to explore new ways to practice.The flexibility of either in person or online sessions with Jen is so important to me as I travel for work- and I can not recommend working with Jen for private classes more wholeheartedly. Jen brings the experience of her many years teaching, and blends them with her authentic and joy filled personality.
