SENTENCE SUMMARY:

HAPPY HIPS IS A PRACTICE TO ENJOY THE MOVEMENT OF THE CENTER OF OUR

BODY, TO FEEL THE AMAZING INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ROTATION AND

MAYBE…WHY NOT… TO FEEL SENSUAL ;)

1. I chose this project about hips, because few months before the beginning of FFTT I

got a hip surgery, so i decide to use the tools of FFTT to create a personal practice to

recover mobility, pleasure and create a new relationship with my hips, more

enjoyable, less from a crazy effort and more form a conscious side.

2. Everything felt good about this. Because I create this practice from my personal

experience I really enjoy and love everything about it, this sequence really helped me

to feel my hips again and I can´t be more happy about it

3. I think that the concentration of movement in the hips offers a perspective interesting

to: a) begginers: because usually in our normal life we are not used to feel our hips

so focusing in this part of the body can give a new perspective and b) more

experimented: the basics nevers get old, so coming to a flow state through the hips is

always a posibility to open movements investigations and more if we accompanied

with breath and a slow pace.

4. Offering more variations for the loop, maybe the use of some level changes and

more listening of the music

5. My learning: HIPS are key to movement. After the surgery, unless I did study

anatomy and dance, I really discover the power of the hips in the body through

experience stiff hips and pain, using all the tools I share in the video were key to my

recover and rediscover the pleasure of movement, particularly of internal and

external rotation. So every time I teach I use some of the hips tools to allow people to

connect with pelvis.
