🌀 What Your Tight Hips Are Trying to Tell You

Hey there, Yogi!

Ever come out of Pigeon Pose feeling unexpectedly emotional?
You’re not alone.

In yoga, the hips are more than joints.
They’re a vault—holding onto stress, fear, grief, and tension that your mind didn’t know what to do with.

When the world asked you to “move on,” your body quietly said:
“I’ll hold this for now.”

This week, we’re bringing awareness (and a little love) to the place most of us store what we haven’t yet released.

Yoga Deep Dive
Your Hips Are Holding More Than You Think

Ancient yogis believed each part of the body stored specific energies.

The hips?
They’re deeply connected to the Muladhara (root) chakra—the energy center for survival, safety, and letting go.

Modern science?
It’s catching up.

Studies show trauma, anxiety, and even depression can manifest as muscular tension in areas like the hip flexors and psoas.
Especially when we sit a lot, rush often, and process little.

The good news?

Movement brings medicine.

Sit comfortably. Close your eyes.
Bring your awareness to your hips.

Now ask gently:

• What am I holding here?

• What fear, resistance, or weight might I still be carrying?

• Can I breathe into it, without needing to fix it?

No forcing.
No solving.
Just noticing.

Sometimes the awareness itself is the release.

They’ve been waiting to tell you something.

🙏 Forward this to someone who’s been “holding it together” for too long.
Until next time—stay steady, stay soft, and keep coming home to your breath.
