The movements of "reach out, pull in, drop out, roll in" lying down, seated and standing are a happy dance for juicy joints.

This practice uses lunar breathing combined with gentle movement, simple restorative holds and imagery to take the nervous system out of the sympathetic state and replenish the adrenal glands. You will need a big stack of blankets two balls the size of tennis balls or small (and softer is better!), 2 blocks, a bolster (or substitute pillows).

This week's practice is a follow up to last week's video. If you want to skip the talk, the practice starts at 3:30 mark. In this practice, we look to connect the energy of loving kindness in the heart to the hips and pelvis. I invite you to read my blog "Release Stored Emotions In The Hips With Somatics And Yoga" to learn more about why these practices can be revealing and healing. Additionally, if you need a bit more movement for the hips first (movement may equal resurfacing and releasing), you may want to try "Settling Into Your Hips With Somatics and Slow Flow Yoga" as an emotional cleanse first. https://youtu.be/mzFicre7Gy8 I hope this practice leaves you feeling succulent! You will need a stack of blankets and some pillows as well as a strap and blocks and bolster if you have them. Sending appreciation to my students & Patreon community!

The hips are sometimes considered the junk drawer of stored emotions. What we perceive as physical pain such as tightness in the IT band, pelvic floor dysfunction, and other issues like pulling in the iliopsoas may have its bases (or at least is continuing to be fed) by our vulnerability, anxiety and emotional trauma. "Hip openers" is an often misused term in yoga classes associated with poses that open the inner thighs (external rotation and abduction of the hip) like baddha konasana, malasana, and eka pada rajakapotasana (pigeon pose) . As part of the pelvic girdle, the hips have 360 degrees of rotation As a bottom up approach to self-healing, yoga Moving, stretching and strengthening the hips can help facilitate safe emotional release. Please recognize that before any release, there may be a resurfacing that can take you by surprise. <br /><br />Sending appreciation to my students & Patreon community!
