🤔 "Wait—why do my hips hurt after yoga?"

You’re not broken. But if you’ve felt:

1

That your hips are always tight — no matter how much you stretch

2

Knee or hip pain that comes and goes

3

Like things that used to feel easy — getting up, stepping down, turning quickly — now take more effort

4

Frustrated that your current routine isn’t helping — or might be making it worse

5

Worried that hip or knee surgery is just a matter of time

It’s not just you. And it’s not just aging.

It’s your body asking for a better approach.

💡 What if your hips got better with age?

What if instead of bracing for decline, you built hips that feel:

Strong enough to carry what matters — groceries, toddlers, or your own weight up the stairs
Mobile and stable — so you can squat, twist, and move without second-guessing yourself
Ready for hikes, dancing, stairs, or just standing at the stove without shifting from foot to foot
Like a source of power, not pain

In this workshop, you'll:

Learn what your hips (and knees and feet) actually need to stay strong for life
Understand why your yoga class might be making things worse — and how to modify without anyone else knowing
Practice movement patterns that protect your joints and help them get stronger over time
Get tools you can use right away, feel the results immediately and use for the rest of your life

You won’t just learn about your hips. You’ll feel what it’s like to move from strength.

🔍 Here’s how it works

"But it's just yoga, right?"

Not even close. Rouleau isn't about stretching into a pancake and detatching from the fact that your body actually feels worse over time.

It's about understanding and practicing the principles that encourage your body to get stronger and better - so you can move well for a lifetime.

It's strength without strain. Flexibility without force.

And it works.

Hear what our students are saying...

“Physically, I feel amazing. I used to go on a beach walk for about an hour, and just at the end of it, my hips were just screaming at me. It was like a couple of years of that. I'm starting to forget I ever had an issue there. I even did a three-hour hike a month ago or something—and I didn't even think about it. I had no pain. I just didn’t even realize it."

Cecily, Australia

“My student was supposed to get her hip replaced. But after a year, her doctor told her, ‘Your hips look great. You don’t need a replacement right now. We don’t need to do surgery.’ And she said, ‘It’s the Rouleau classes.’ She comes three times a week. She’s so dedicated."

Wendy, Germany

“I was in an accident and suffered a pretty significant brain concussion. I was on a walker for 3 months. Couldn’t drive for 9. I made more progress in 6 months with Rouleau than I made in a year of neuro rehab. I’m doing things that I really was terrified to do. I’m probably close to where I was before my injury. But that’s not good enough anymore. I want to keep pushing myself and challenging myself.”

Melanie, USA

“I talk about being the poster child for this work because two years ago, I could hardly walk up the stairs. I had so much inflammation, so much discomfort. My doctor said my knees were bone on bone and I needed surgery. But I’ve been doing this work every single day since then. My knees are doing great. I go days—weeks, even—without even thinking that I ever had any pain in them. It’s remarkable.”

Barbara, Canada

“At 42, I’ve never felt more capable. I’m doing things I used to be terrified of. My kids think their mommy is strong and they are super impressed by that - I enjoy showing them little things they can use in their everyday life. Even emptying the dishwasher — I’m intentionally trying to use those parts of my body. I know now it helps prevent injury, but it also makes you stronger.”

Danielle, USA

“Going to get groceries, I used to have to hold on to the cart. I used to just focus on the pain-and the lack of mobility. But now when I come here, I feel joy. This lifts me up every week. It’s making me feel better about me.”

Kim, CANADA
