Yoga is back on this week after my holiday where I did lots of walking. As a result, I really benefited from doing yoga with lots of hip stretches each morning to ease any tightness and I thought I would bring that to this week's practice.
Doing lots of sitting, or walking, can lead to tight hips which, in turn, can lead to back pain. So in this week's practice we're going to work into the hips, particularly the psoas muscle - our main hip flexor and the only muscle that connects the spine to the legs.
On a physical level, a tight or weak psoas muscle can lead to poor posture which can affect the whole body. And on an emotional level, the psoas muscle is one of the first to respond and activate when we are stressed and in fight or flight mode. Helping it to release helps us move into rest and relaxation mode.
