Focusing on the psoas in yoga is powerful because this deep core muscle plays a central role in our posture, movement, and emotional wellbeing. The psoas connects the spine to the legs, making it key to healthy hip flexion, stable alignment, and balanced lower back support.

When the psoas is chronically tight or weak, it can contribute to lower back pain, hip discomfort, poor posture, and even shallow breathing. On the other hand, a responsive, well-aligned psoas helps create a sense of grounding, ease, and fluidity in your yoga practice—and in daily life.                                                              

Working skillfully with the psoas in yoga can:

    •    Improve spinal alignment and core stability

    •    Enhance freedom and ease in the hips and pelvis

    •    Support the breath by releasing tension around the  diaphragm

    •    Reduce strain in the lower back

    •    Help regulate the nervous system, as the psoas is closely linked to our fight-or-flight response

In short, when we bring mindful attention to the psoas, we tap into a deeper layer of integration—physically, emotionally, and energetically. It's not just about stretching or strengthening, but about listening, releasing, and restoring balance from the inside out.
