Hi Gabrielle, thanks so much, bought the book today and should have in a few days.

When the hip went out on Wednesday:

If I lifted my leg up or rotated the hip, I got the deep, sharp twinge in the back center of my hip, and a milder twinge (pinch, as you say) in front…felt like it was simply the whole hip, if that makes sense.
When I would try to climb a step and press down on the hip: would sometimes feel like the leg/hip could NOT support me at all, and I’d almost fall.
Same as when I’d try to move from a sitting position (with knees at 90º) to a standing one: the hip would just give way, and I’d have to pull/push myself up with my arms..

When it went out in class on Saturday: Same pain as before, but much, much more intense.
After class, while I was still warm and sweaty: I drove immediately to a Shiatsu masseuse, who put the muscle back into place.
It was so ‘out’ I cried real tears when she put it back, ow.

I went to class today, and my instructor and I very carefully walked through the poses before class to see what I had done wrong:
but he said I was holding the pose correctly. We also went through Standing Sep Leg Head to Knee: he thinks maybe it was that pose, a combo of the two, but hard to say for sure what went wrong on Saturday… any ideas?

With many thanks, namaste

PS regarding class today: very happy to say no pain: in class or after. I focused on slow, steady, breathing, and was so focused and calm during those two poses: I think it reflected on my other poses, was one of my best classes yet.
