the psoas is a very mysterious muscle to me. in yoga circles you

always hear about that psoas muscle without really understanding what

it is and what it does. the previous poster said that it helps or

inhibits backbending. how so? also can someone explain what it is,

what it does, why it is so important to the yoga practice, and how

you can strengthen it or stretch it? what are some good asanas that

really use the psoas muscle? how do you know if you have a tight one?

THANKS!
