Overview
In this lesson, we explore passive range holds for hip flexion, using long-duration positioning to expand flexion capacity.
Objective
Understand how sustained passive holds can gradually increase hip flexion through tissue and nervous system adaptation.
What You'll Get
What You'll Get: You'll learn to settle into deep hip flexion positions and stay there, giving your body time to relax into ranges that feel impossible in shorter holds. This is the patient approach for stubborn hips. For your practice, it means accessing forward folds and hip positions that shorter stretches can't reach. For teachers and therapists, passive range holds offer a meditative, low-force method for clients who need time and safety to release chronic tension patterns limiting their hip flexion.
