Open Hips
Modern life stole your hips.
And nobody told you it was happening.

The biggest joint you have
Built to squat, climb and move. For life.
The hip is the largest joint in your body, made for a huge range of motion.
We taught it to do almost nothing, and the whole body pays for it: stiff backs, weak legs, a body that can't get down to the floor and back up.

How it happened
School chair. Office chair. Car. Couch.
Nobody decided to ruin your hips. Western society did it quietly, one chair at a time.
~15,000 hours of sitting before you're even an adult. 80,000 more in a desk career. A third of your waking life folded into the same ninety-degree shape.
Sold to you as comfort. Marketed as progress. It's neither.

Step one
Sit on the floor
The cheapest fix there is.
Half the world still eats and rests on the floor, and keeps their hips into old age without a single drill. Make the floor your default. Switch positions when you stiffen.

Step two
The deep squat
A resting position, not an exercise.
Heels down, hips low, calm at the bottom. The position humans were built to rest in. Babies do it perfectly; most of us lost it to a desk. A minute a day and it comes back.

Step three
Open & express
Expression lives in the hips.
Every culture that moves with joy moves from the hips. Free yours and you sway, you flow, you dance. You get more than range. You get yourself back. You forgot it was ever gone, and when it returns it feels like a superpower.
