Hip Replacement Yoga: Integrating Students after Surgery into Your Yoga Classes
You’ve planned the perfect class and are about to begin when a new student arrives with a hip replacement. This scenario happens more often than in the past. Surgery outcomes have greatly improved over the years, and so younger people are now electing to have the procedure. We aim to be inclusive while also being mindful of safety. Incorporating this younger cohort into our regular classes is doable, as long as our class isn’t a fast moving power flow and/or includes a lot of poses requiring deep ROM (range of motion) in the hips.
