Maybe you have been in a yoga class where a student started crying while in pigeon pose or you felt some strange feelings coming up in Yogi Squat. This actually happens quite often.<\/p>\n<p>The hips are the biggest joint in the body and they play a vital part in supporting our posture. We need our hips to move, sit and stand. That&#8217;s why there can be a lot of tension in the muscles around the hips and pelvis. Because the hips are so stable, we store a lot of emotions in this area.<\/p>\n<h2>New on YouTube: Yoga for the Hips &amp; Lower Back<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MvFNlCAE4qQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MvFNlCAE4qQ\">Click here to watch the video<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can use yoga poses and stretches to improve hip mobility and release emotions.
