What is Psoas? It is a deep muscle that is connected to the hip flexor. They contract to pull the thigh muscle and the torso together. It is very common for people to have tight hips. This happens when the hip flexors become short. For people who sit in a desk all day or even with activity such as sit ups and weight training that shorten the hips instead of elongating the muscle creating tightness. In the body everything is connected so if one muscle is off in can cause a domino effect in the body. This can create bad posture and cause lower back pain. That is why in yoga, hip openers can help with this tightness. and help relieve that tension. Stretching out the psoas can be intense. Using breath work can help relax the mind and the muscles. Always breath and never hold. By opening the psoas this can bring flexibility and mobility back into the body. It can relieve that tension and stress as well as bring good blood circulation throughout the body. -NYV0109B
