Hip Coordination Flow with a Dowel

Feeling coordinated isn’t about everything moving together — it’s about each part of you knowing when to support and when to move.This short hip sequence uses a dowel (or a broomstick) to help you find directional support through your foot while allowing your hip to rotate freely. It’s simple, but it reveals a lot:* Where do you place pressure into the ground?* Can your hips move while your foot anchors?* Does rotation feel smooth or stuck?Try it:📍 Step one foot forward and slightly out to the side📍 Place the dowel to the outside edge of that foot📍 Lightly lift the balls of your foot away from the ground — shifting pressure back📍 Reach the dowel forward as your hips go back📍 Pivot, place one hand on the floor, rotate, and rise back up📍 Return and repeat a few timesTake your time. Notice what changes each repetition.If this feels different or unfamiliar… great. That means you’re learning.🎥 Watch the video above to follow along.—If you find these practices helpful, you can:💬 Leave a comment — what did you notice in your hips or feet?🧡 Share the post with someone who might enjoy exploring their movementSee you next time for more mindful strength and coordinated movement.— Jenn This is a public episode.
