I get a ton of requests in classes to stretch out hip flexors, specifically the psoas. My friend, Ashley, asked for a 15 minute flow she can do everyday - here it is!!
Stretching your psoas will help relieve low back pain and reverse some of the effects of too much sitting, running, or stress. The psoas connects your spine to your legs by attaching to the lumbar spine through your pelvis to your femur. It's also connected to your diaphragm through fascia and affects your breathing. It's often called the "muscle of the soul" because when we're stressed our flight and fight response naturally tenses your psoas so you can run away from a lion, even if your stress isn't physical.
Be sure to engage your navel toward your spine throughout this flow so you can access your psoas instead of dumping into your low back.
Class is taught by Helen Cloots.
