Class Focus: Deep Front Line, Adductors, Psoas, Hip Mobility, Goddess

 

This level 1 MIA yoga class takes a deep dive into the deep front line and hip mobility. We focus on opening the adductors and psoas through poses like goddess and deep lunges. We add some side bends into the mix to lengthen the quadratus lumboreum muscles which neighbors our psoas muscles. Adding movement through splits, adduction and side bends creates glide between the muscle and helps increase range of motion in all these synergistic areas. This class brings some fun challenge with binds and balance poses.

The Deep Front line is a complex myofascial structure that serves as the body’s myofascial “core,” starting from under the foot, traveling up the back leg, passing behind the knee, and continuing through the inner thigh, then branching into the hip, pelvis, and lumbar vertebrae. It extends through the chest, branching into the thoracic viscera, and reaches the base of the skull. Unlike a simple line, it’s three-dimensional and envelops stabilizing leg muscles, influences the hip joint and walking rhythm, bridges the neuromotor chassis and chest cavity organs, and provides counterbalance in the neck for posture and alignment.

 

Note: Please consult your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or injuries. Listen to your body throughout the practice and modify poses to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
