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
- Set yourself up in a kneeling warrior 2 behind your yogini.
- Get close to support her with your torso.
- Hug your yogini close and shift your body weight for the adjustment.
- 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!
