Have a look… or see you in class to experience the release of the psoas which is a much better idea. Class Thursday at 6.30pm

🌹👍🌹🗑️ THE BODY’S EMOTIONAL TRASH BIN

Have you ever taken a yoga class and, when deeply opening your hips, suddenly felt like crying for no reason?
You’re not crazy. You’ve touched your psoas. 😮‍💨

The Psoas Major is the deepest hip flexor muscle.
Physically, it allows you to lift your leg to walk.
Neurologically, it is the fight-or-flight muscle 🏃‍♂️⚡

When you feel fear or stress, the brain sends a signal:
“Curl up to protect the organs!”
The psoas contracts instantly.

😰 THE MODERN PROBLEM

We live in chronic stress:
📧 emails
🚗 traffic
📰 constant news

But we never run or fight. We stay seated.
That “escape energy” gets trapped in the psoas.

Over time, the muscle becomes:
• Chronically tense
• Short
• Dry

Because the adrenal glands (adrenaline) sit right above the kidneys and rest on the psoas, a tight psoas constantly stimulates them — keeping you in a permanent state of alert and background anxiety ⚠️🧠

🔓 FREEING THE PSOAS

Releasing the psoas isn’t just about easing lower back pain.
It’s about emptying the emotional recycling bin of the last 10 years 🧹💭

🌿 VITALIZATE TIP (The Release)

Constructive Rest Pose
👉 Don’t force a stretch if you’re very tense.

1️⃣ Lie on your back on the floor
2️⃣ Bend your knees and place your feet on the ground, hip-width apart
3️⃣ Let your knees gently fall toward each other (resting)
4️⃣ Place your hands on your lower belly 🤍

Stay there for 10–15 minutes ⏳
Gravity will allow the femur to “drop” into the hip socket, and the psoas will release on its own.

You may feel:
✨ Trembling
🔥 Warmth

Let it happen.

🧠 CONNECTION

Your psoas connects your legs to your spine — and your survival instincts to your nervous system.

Kaizen: small changes done consistently bring big changes. It’s the New Year so whether you have a regular practice or want to add Yoga to your New Year’s ritual, make a small consistent change. Maybe how you enter the room and put your phone away rather than check up to the last minute before class starts. Or adding more focus to the breath, your alignment, your acceptance of where you are in this moment and expressing that through a soft steady gaze to allow deeper internal exploration. It doesn’t matter what you chose so make it something of value to you as that’s what keeps your internal inquiry anchored. It’s a New Year but if we live everyday like it’s both our first day and our last day on this planet, having both curiosity and gratitude, you stay present. See you in class. Namaste

But… while you’re here, one way is to get your yoga practice back on track for the New Year. Either rock up for a drop in class tonight or ease back in on Friday morning at 11. Always welcome 🙏
