In this episode, yoga teacher Jenni Rawlings and Exercise Science professor Travis Pollen dive into the topic of whether or not we store emotions in our hips (or in our body in general).

Points of discussion include:

  • Is this claim accurate?
  • What’s the explanation for why and how emotions are stored in our hips or in our body, and does this explanation hold up to scrutiny?
  • Is the psoas muscle a magic muscle?
  • What’s the connection between “hip-openers” and emotion?
  • The “recovered-memory therapy” movement from the 1980s and 90s and what lessons and insights it has to offer us today
  • What do the terms “tight” and “release” really mean?
  • What does an evidence-based approach to self-myofascial release look like?
  • …And lots more!

Enjoy this engaging and eye-opening discussion for yoga, movement, and fitness geeks!
