- Namaste welcome yogis,
In this class I guide you through a yoga sequence that’s designed specifically for hip osteoarthritis. 🪷
This is a shortened version of the more expanded sequence found within my yoga for happy hips 4 week course, which also includes more thorough programming and information about how to effectively manage this injury on the mat.
➡️ You can get on the waitlist for the next round of enrolments here:

➡️ To further support your hip healing journey, I’ve also included in the description below a link to a FREE PDF program download of the most important exercises to focus on when working with Hip OA.

For this practise I recommend using 2 yoga blocks, 1 blanket or bolster and a foam roller if you have one.
It’s important when working with this condition to work within the range of motion that you have in the hip and avoid forcing the hip into compression.
Taking the hip through its available range of motion is really healthy for the joint and helps to keep the joint lubricated. In order to do this effectively and safely stretch your hip, you need to have a good understanding of the difference between sensations of stretch and sensations of joint compression.
We go through this first in butterfly pose and you have an opportunity throughout the sequence to practise feeling into and discerning this difference.
This class not only helps you to learn how to mobilise your hip safely and apply appropriate modifications, but importantly includes poses and exercises that work to strengthen the key stabilising muscles around the hip.
Let me know how these instructions went for you in the comments below!

Yoga is one of the best ways to build functional strength in the body :)
Thank you so much for this thoughtful, knowledgeable and very informative sequence. I learned a lot about my painful hip joint, enjoyed the strengthening exercises and felt a lot less alone with my left hip joint pain. Namaste❤❤❤
So wonderful to find this video. My regular yoga teachers are not familiar with yoga for osteoarthritis. Many thanks!
Hi Cathy, I am 60 years old and have been trying to do yoga for 18 months now. I have felt more pain after yoga most of the time and so, have scaled back dramatically. However, I enjoy yoga and feel emotionally better from it, and the rest of my aging body feels like it needs yoga. Finally, in you I have found a yogi that understands the pain and limitations of hip osteoarthritis. You explained everything so well that I felt the stretch and was able to recognize that discomfort was hip compression when I practiced with the "no pain, no gain" approach. I will be subscribing to your channel, with gratitude. Namaste wise yogi!!!
Hi Cathy just found u today and did half your class found it hard , but it definitely made a difference to me I got up from the floor and was able to touch my toes which I haven’t been able to do for over four years Thank You
Thank you. I've been having hip compression for weeks. This practice has finally helped open me up. ❤❤❤
Thank you. Bad hip arthritis, lots of pain with internal/external rotation. This was both gentle enough and challenging enough for some deep healing.
Thank you I’m following you thanks for the tips how todo yoga exercise I have an osteoarthritis in my right hips
Hi Paula, oh no so awful. I’m so sorry to hear you’re suffering with this! Happy to be of service. I hope you get some relief 🙏💗
Hi again Cathy I ended up going to urgent care Tuesday night experiencing excruciating painful Sciatica symptoms. The nurse practioner sent me to get an X Ray which came back showing Hip Osteoarthritis. Thank you for doing this practice designed specifically for my condition. I love when you said being an advanced yoga practioner is about being mindful of your body not folding into a pretzel.
Thank you!
Great info and Hoping it will help.
Unfortunately this was still too painful for me. Any weight through my right leg/hip is agony so the lunge sequence was impossible :(
Hi , I loved this sequence, glad to have found you 👍, do you have yoga for knee osteoarthritis or injuries please?
Hey Chitra, thanks for your comment lovely. At the moment I’m focusing on hips but will likely to some knee focused classes in the future 🙏💜
@cathy aganoff yoga I'm one of those rebellious energetic young men that takes my shirt off in Yoga class.
I have hip osteoarthritis and my physic told me I need to keep my hips neutral. So strange? It would mean I can’t do half of this? … not supposed to do pigeon etc. I will try what I can! & Thanks for making a video on this
I really loved the idea of this as I have one artificial hip and another hip which is in the painful and stiff phase of OA. I've done yoga for 30 years so I'm not a novice. Unfortunately I only made it to 23 minutes, as it got progressively too difficult for me to keep up. ! I had to abandon it after trying your sun salutations, I'm afraid you transition much too quickly from one position to another for somebody with hip arthritis, and when you say spring to the front of your mat - well 😂.... that is completely impossible for somebody who has to transition slowly into different positions. I'm afraid this is not suitable for me at all, please do one with slower transitions!
I fely the same. As soon as we got on to lunges I couldnt transfter my weight without terrible pain
😂😂😂 I know.. What “spring” ?? Slowly drag is more accurate
You should wear cute socks for your gorgeous feet in every video shoot pls pls 🙏🙏
