Question 10 of 11
Someone arrives for your group Advanced Beginner/Intermediate yoga class and says this, "This is my first time doing yoga. One year ago, I had my hip replaced and it did not go well. The healing took twice as long as expected. It was complicated and painful and my physical therapist still tells me to take it easy on that leg and with any movements that could aggravate my hip but I've wanted to do yoga for a long time because of the stress-relieving benefits." Three other students have arrived, who are regulars at your class. You know that the sequence you planned is filled with hip openers, including a long section in low lunge and lizard pose. What adjustments do you make to your sequence and what do you say to this student?
