Yes. Completely normal.

‘Ori Tahiti uses deep, controlled hip movements that most people have never trained before.

At the beginning you might feel:

  • Stiff
  • Uncoordinated
  • Slow
  • Frustrated

That does NOT mean you’re not capable.

Hip mobility develops with repetition.

That’s why the first part of OTF focuses on:

  • Slow hip movements
  • Progressive speed
  • Controlled warm-up

The goal is not to look perfect.

The goal is to build connection between your brain and your hips.

Give yourself:

  • 2–3 weeks for coordination
  • 1–2 months for visible fluidity

Progress comes quietly.

Stay with it.
