A: Tight hips affect everything from your ability to get into Wheel Pose to simply being able to pick up something off the floor. When hips are tight, they increase the load and cause overuse of the spine. In addition to the benefits of improved range of motion and circulation and decreased back pain, opening the hips can create an energetic shift or release as well.
Yogic tradition holds the hips as a storage ground for negative feelings and pent-up emotions, especially ones related to control in our lives. This is due in large part to the fact that we sit in chairs for long periods of time, and because we generally do not sit in hip opening positions like a squat very often, if ever. Tight hips can lead to a whole host of issues like lower back pain, misalignments in the spine, and can even lead to injury.
The hip joints are actually very unique joints, known as ball and socket joints. This allows for a much greater range of motion than say the elbow joint or the knee joint.

Hip-opening can also create room for new ideas to come up and new pathways. I started YogaHub out of a room at the back of someone else's house back in with nothing more than an idea. I'd been teaching Yoga since and had no intention of opening a Yoga Studio. I think, like everything I've done, I just decided one day I was going to give it a try. And try I did and if you're reading this I guess I'm still trying. I just love doing hip-opening pose like pigeon pose.
It really makes me relax. Also i feel much lighter and yet energetic. Thanks for the information. Great article. Next Post Yoga Vocabulary: Savasana. Author Matt I started YogaHub out of a room at the back of someone else's house back in with nothing more than an idea.
