The Hips Don't Lie

This is some wild stuff.
Basically what you're looking at, listening to, or saying can affect the flexibility in your hip flexor/psoas.

My understanding is that Postural Restoration (what this guys practices) is not something scientifically proven, so yes, characterizing his claims as “wild” is fair

On a related note, why everyone seems obsessed with the psoas release nowadays? If anything, learning how to tense it properly is key to understanding how the leg torque is transmitted to the upper body.

Just commonsensical IMO. Everything is connected.


Watched a few videos, this one was very good:

Anyway, thank you for the channel.

Me, personally, I'm interested in modulating the tension consciously. What's interesting to me here is the bidirectional influence of body and mind.

That's exactly what Tai Chi is designed to do. Relax body and breathe, empty your mind, and put your consciousness in the area you want to relax.
