Hip Opener Workshop

$20

with Nancy Cotty, Noble Adult & Community Education

Calendar Mar 12, 2026 at 6 pm

This workshop is designed to loosen and stretch the hip joint so that movement in that area is easier and less tense.

Much of what we cover can be done at home after the workshop so you can continue opening the hips and leg muscles on your own.

All equipment will be provided for you. Information learned through yoga classes and workshops should not be considered a substitute for medical advice.

In my class you will learn simple, effective emotional tools to maintain your cool, calmness, and sanity, when you are affected by a toxic person, day in, day out.
