release emotional trauma through yoga

Emotional trauma tends to be stored in our hips, so practicing hip-opening yoga poses will help you release any stagnant, emotional energy being stored within your body.

Yoga releases emotions by breaking up what we like to call “energy blocks.” These energy blocks often stem from emotions, traumas, and memories we've suppressed over time—even those you may be entirely unaware of.

When we work to release the tightness in our hips, we are able to unpack some of the accumulated trauma that is being held in this area, which is why some people cry during specific yoga poses!

Hip-Opening Yoga Poses:

1. Half-Pigeon

2. Happy Baby

3. Lizard Pose

4. Camel Pose

Other poses to try:

1. Garland Pose

2. Seated Twist

3. Bound-Angle Pose

4. Bridge Pose

Let me know if you try any of these or have any questions! 🧘🏻‍♀️🫶🏼🤍
