Yin Yoga for Quadriceps and Psoas Release

Tight quadriceps and a restricted psoas muscle can lead to chronic lower back discomfort, limited hip mobility, and shallow breathing. This text-based course offers a quiet, systematic approach to releasing these deep connective tissues, allowing you to restore balance and energy flow to your lower body at your own pace. You will begin by learning the foundational anatomy of the hip flexors and the core principles of passive, long-held Yin postures before moving into structured sequences. By following our detailed written guides, you will cultivate a deep awareness of your body's physical boundaries and learn how to safely navigate sensation.
