Class 5: The Hip Flexors
Mom & Baby Yoga Series
•
45m
This class will help you regain strength in the core after having a baby with a focus on the hip flexor muscles (in particular the psoas & iliacus muscle). The two muscles are considered the strongest hip flexors in the body. Tight hip flexors can impact your posture, pelvic pain, and movement patterns. This is why we want to help lengthen the hip flexors postpartum and keep them flexible to help to improve our posture and core performance.
As always, PLEASE listen to your body and make any modifications if needed.
Mantra: "I am strong, I am calm."
