Happy Hips 3 Hip and Shoulder Circles the lesson

Lesson 3 in this series (Hip and Shoulder Circles) is a great lesson to work on your balance as I explained in the introduction. The movements are quite simple to do yet can be very powerful in their effect.

What a blessing your TH-cam channel is!!! Thank you Stewart!!!

[@stewarthamblin]

Thank you Jojo, that's very kind. I really do need to put up some new videos soon 😊

[@anettedanielson3227]

Such a big difference on my right side compared to the left side after doing he first side. I could really feel how half of the body came down to the floor, really nice!

[@stewarthamblin]

Thank you for sharing Anetter :-)

[@shelleywalters3478]

Thank you so much for sharing with lesson. I am learning so much and am most grateful

[@stewarthamblin]

You are very welcome Shelley 🙂🙏

Great lesson. Let’s move forward together!

[@stewarthamblin]

Thank you Yona !

[@stewarthamblin]

I don't mind responding at all. Am always interested in students progress 😊 I absolutely do believe the stick lessons will help with those issues.

Don't under estimate the phisical quietness of this lesson, this lesson is very powerful to align, , I did it once, and wow, it is mind blowing that such minimalist movements can have such a high impact, on the structure, alignment and behavior, (I have a lumbar fusión) but it was, for me, a not yet lesson. I am re-educating a rinocerontious body, that was too brute, and hurt. I am truly impressed with feldenkrais, and the "hey mind teach this body how to reorganize properly" Thanks Stewart.I am for the moment in unglue your shoulders'and slowly checking your other lessons and precheck them to see if they are doable. You are a fab teacher!

[@stewarthamblin]

Thank you Lucy. Its often the simplest lessons that have a big impact.

[@janethalasz3897]

Your videos are excellent! I love your instruction, so clear and detailed. I can't believe you received comments (you said on another video) that you were asked to not talk so much. The instruction is necessary and doesn't detract from my practice.

[@stewarthamblin]

Thank you very much Janet, that's very kind of you to say so.

[@silvanalippa1257]

i love all your videos. Thank you for sharing your mastery.

[@stewarthamblin]

Thank you very much Silvana and Happy New Year to you by the way!

[@satsuko]

Every morning, every single morning since I found this channel, I can’t take off from your lesson. The lesson was too sensitive and complicated, listening to you, looking at you, doing at the same time, it was too difficult, but once movement goes rhythmic piston work, then it was much fun!

[@stewarthamblin]

Thank you Satsuko. I am glad you found the rhythm 😊

[@satsuko]

These happy hips series lead me ease. I did this lesson in these three mornings. I feel very relaxed and my whole body eased after lesson. Thank you very much for these series. I am looking forward a coming lesson.

[@MrPiwakawaka]

Very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make this. Hip and shoulder circles was a fun challenge and opened up a new range of movement possibilities as well as relaxing my chest.

[@kanatmirza8034]

Perfect..Thanks a lot...

[@jilllong4660]

This is great ! Just lovely, Thankyou !

[@stewarthamblin]

Thank you so much Jill. I was worried about the lighting as it was such an overcast day. I have some new lights so hopefully that won't be an issue in the future.

I insert a smooth cotton cloth between my knees/legs to reduce friction and stickiness

[@andreacapezzuto1103]

Obrigada mais uma vez!!🙏🌷

[@darlenecarman7644]

another wonderful lesson!

[@poczytamci3389]

Thank you 🍀🌼, next time I will start with lying on my right side, as my weaker side is left, and I wonder how different left will feel.
I feel definitely lighter on both anyway 🎉
Some teaches are mostly doing the exercises from sitting position, could your lesson be done from floor sitting position, please?
( I sometimes get headaches if i lie down too long but i love your lessons tremendously and don't want to switch to another practitioner as they don't have such straightforward classes ❤)

[@stewarthamblin]

Hi Poczytam, thank you for the message. If it feels better for you doing the lesson in sitting then I would definitely try that. I have taught similar movements as part of my Fit Sit lessons. Have you given any of the Fit Sit stick classes a try? I think you might find them very interesting

[@poczytamci3389]

@@stewarthamblin thank you, I will have a look, although I am mostly focused on mobility of my hips and shoulders as they're the biggest problem areas causing me migraines. Do you think the Fit sit classes would also help to retrain and improve mobility in hips and shoulder - if you don't mind me asking, I'll understand if you are too busy to answer 🍀☺️

[@carlosdiasdeoliveira4388]

Obrigado pela aula!!!

[@simoneroth]

There’s an error when I hit your subscribe button. Maybe you want to look into that. Thanks for your videos!

[@stewarthamblin]

Thanks very much for letting me know Simone 😊

[@lorettawestcolourgardenstu9007]

Delicious lesson thank you. It would be nice if there weren’t quite so many interfering loud ads though. I find them kind of distracting from the lesson and relaxation.

[@stewarthamblin]

Thank you for letting me know about the mid roll ads. I thought I had disabled them on all my videos as I completely agree that they are very annoying. I hope I have disabled them now.

[@lorettawestcolourgardenstu9007]

Thanks for addressing this.

[@luyzqint3760]

I just can't do the shoulders forward hips backwards, simultaneously. I can't!.😔

[@stewarthamblin]

Another puzzle to solve Luyz! 😊 They help to make life interesting for sure. Take care. Stewart

[@luyzqint3760]

@@stewarthamblin 🤣🤣🤣✌️

[@luyzqint3760]

I just couldn't do the last movement, circles in opposite directions.😔 So I did a circle in one direction with my shoulder, then I did the circle with my hip towards the opposite direction. Is that ok?.✌️

[@stewarthamblin]

That's absolutely fine Luyz
