This week’s class focuses on Hip Flexors. When the hip flexors are tight, they can create tension in the pelvic floor. This can lead to restriction or a pulling sensation in the low back, change the orientation of the hip socket which can lead to hip pain and then of course effect everything down (or up) the chain… so we’re talking knee pain, foot pain.

Then of course when there’s so much dysfunction going on, why not add bladder issues and prolapse?

The work we do in our yoga class isn’t so we can become super bendy. We do it because if we don’t, the price we pay is the quality of our health. If we don’t do the work to keep our hips healthy, or pelvic floor open and strong, or our low back in motion… then eventually, shit’s gonna hit the fan and we’re gonna be like, wait, what just happened?!

Let’s also remember that the psoas is myofascially connected to our respiratory diaphragm. Which means if it’s tight, then our ability to breathe well is no longer possible. Loss of mobility = dysfunction.
