Hi,

The psoas is one of he major muscle complexes of the

body, and its the key to most cases of muscle

imbalance. It goes from the spine through the abdomen

and over the brim of the pelvis to the inner part of

the upper thigh. Its normal function is involved with

the entire working of the back, the hips and the

pelvic area. It is one of the main controllers of

posture in the body. The psosas makes the thigh move

forward as well as rotate outward in the hip socket.

It also causes the natural curve in the spine and

controls the pelvic tilt and general posture.

There are many asana that will help to stretch the

psoas. If you're not now completely bored with my

ramblings, I'll do some research and post some

specifics.

Shanti,

Kathleen

Hi, Kathleen:o)

 

I'd really like to learn a bit more about how the psoas works....

 

I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, and started having Ashtanga classes about

six months ago.

 

Shanti Om,

Adriana

Not bored at all Kathleen, please keep on sharing, there are several

of us here who do not have access to teachers and really do

appreciate whatever knowledge is shared. Look forward to reading

your next message. Doberlady1
