Video Yoga for psoas, the muscle of the soul

The psoas is a muscle that connects the last lumbar vertebrae with the thigh. It is called the muscle of the soul because, in a very fascinating mechanism, it connects the physical world with the world of our emotions. In fact, the psoas is connected to the diaphragm and its stiffening also causes the diaphragm to stiffen, as a consequence the breath becomes shorter and more superficial, anxiety, agitation and the desire to escape take over. On the contrary, an elastic and flexible psoas muscle guarantees good and deep breathing and calms body and mind. Not only that, working on the psoas also helps prevent pains such as sciatica and back pain, improves the flexibility of the hip and spine.
