Sassy Hip Adjustment for Warrior 2

I'm often asked how to do a simple adjustment that I use to reduce sassy hips in virabhadrasana II (warrior 2). Check out my post about sassy hips if you're not sure what I'm talking about. This is a common warrior 2 misalignment that I used to see constantly in some of my regular students. One day I thought, "Ok, this needs to change!" and just grabbed one of my students hips and twisted sassy-ness right out of them. That was the birth of the sassy hip adjustment. Over time, I've refined this adjustment a bit, so check out the video of the current version below.

Keys to Remember

1. Set yourself up in a kneeling warrior 2 behind your yogini.
2. Get close to support her with your torso.
3. Hug your yogini close and shift your body weight for the adjustment.
4. Focus on rotating her pelvis and not shifting her toward her front foot.

There you have it. Give it a shot and let me know what you think!
