Really good video! Mind Body Connection! I've been so guilty of the same things that you talked about in this video over stretching over flexing and muscles not actually engaging. As a result I have sore muscles as you touched on hip flexors lower back mid-back Etc. Rushing through the poses I see a lot of people in my hot yoga class get injured because they rush they don't have good form. I actually went to a physical therapist that helped me with my form. I don't try and do all the exercises in my yoga class or I should say all the poses. I focus on a few of them. I hold my glutes make sure they're active make sure my hamstrings are engaged make sure the muscles that are supposed to be engaged are. Thanks again for this video!

Another tip that I've found helpful is to drill the posterior pelvic tilt (PPT) throughout the day. It can be done while standing, sitting, or even lying down, but it's easiest to do while standing. Basically try to -scoop- the bottom of your butt forward (I tell clients imagine -putting your butt where your belly button is-) and hold it there, while you press down into the ground with your feet. This teaches you to engage your hip/glute complex, and even trains deep core muscles which will in turn take pressure off your lower back and knees, and also improve your posture. This drill has very little range of motion but will benefit you greatly!

I've been looking for something like this for a while now. Athlean X had a good video too about quad tightness sometimes being misconstrued as hip tightness. He had some methods for determining which area was the problem area and how not to irritate it by stretching the wrong group. Your method for hip stretching was different and after trying it, more effective. Thanks for posting this! My quads and hips thank you!

I get the importance of turning on the glutes but is there anything we can also do to turn off the hip flexors? I have great ROM in my hips but still find that my hips are doing more work than they should causing low back issues. Thanks!

I needed this video like I've needed no other. I have been dealing with SO MUCH hip pain lately, and only one other thing has been helping some - using a ball to press on the pressure points. Thank you for this!

I-m confused, your thumbnail for this video shows a move you didn-t address. I do the move in the thumbnail so I-d like to know why I shouldn-t. Thanks! Love your videos

Thank you for this video! If I have artritis in my hips and my range of movement is shorter, which other excercise you recommend?
