YOGA WHEEL PSOAS STRETCH | How To Stretch Your Psoas Muscle

[@alexischeng7081]

I just followed the steps, no pain in the process, just breathe and gentle movement, and the soreness from yesterday training immediately released. Thank you!

[@erika91222]

I suffered from stress/trauma that led to anxiety and depression. I have always had this painful tightness under the ribcage that no one can explain, and many times it got dismissed as part of the stomach reaction to stress. That is until I met a yoga teacher who really listened to me and recommended me to do PSOAS stretch and specifically shared the link to this video. I've never heard of PSOAS and I finally understand from your explanation how it is showing up for me. Will refer back to this video again and again. Would love to see more of your content, especially around PSOAS. Thank you! This is a gem!

[@racheljury]

Thank you so much! I am a qualified yoga teacher. I practice daily but this reaches parts no yoga practice, I have experienced so far, has reached! Just what I needed.

[@bodydesignbyrachel]

She's actually amazing

[@beatdabetefoundation9960]

I'd never seen a Yoga Wheel before and I can see from this demonstration how those tiny mobilizations, extensions and twists must have such a powerful effect!

[@TEWMUCH]

I love you! you're the best. I love how your exercises are things ppl can do if they're "out of shape" or experience a lot of pain already (prolly cuz they hurt themselves doing all the heavy cardio, jumping about, extra forced exercises) I'm starting to see how the focused micro movements are >>>>>>.

[@Amy-hj1qb]

Sukie, I’m new to your channel and I am really enjoying it. Can I encourage you to spend some time responding to comments? It would really bless a lot of people. ❤️

[@MarkTeutscher-kc2ji]

I have found your videos very helpful as I do get anxiety thank you very much

[@marshahuebner7650]

A favorite because you explain. How it works and how to do it,

[@ZanyProductionz]

about how long does it usually take before we start to see or feel a difference in our pain and tension if we do this every day? Just so I have a frame of reference and realistic expectations.

[@moulinyan]

gotta start doing this, i have every ailment you speak of, great content thanks.

[@karinagregory-p1c]

can you think of a substitute for the yoga wheel please?

[@nmil2944]

I was thinking that too! Maybe a gym ball but that might be too big!

[@longstaffemedia]

Love these video's keeping me moving and helping with my AFIB

[@lvazin]

I teach yoga and breath work, and never seen this before. Love your information. You're amazing.

[@margaretpennings3378]

HI Sukie I am so grateful to have found your videos. I have had psoas issues for years. A lot of pain especially on left side(feminine side). I watched the video which I am going to get a wheel and try. My concern or question is that my chronic pain discomfort in my psoas is from my bikini line down to where the psoas attaches at the top of the leg bone. I will try the exercises first following your video and see what might shift. I am sure most of the tension and tightness is from childhood trauma and ptsd. thanks so much for all you are doing!

[@scarred10]

Your tight psoas has absolutely nothing to do with any psychological trauma, it's a completely mistaken concept.It also has zero to do with the adrenal glands.

[@Australis19]

@@scarred10 … so why didn’t you tell her what it does have to do with and what you suggest to her?

[@scarred10]

@u-dont-exist dotcom explain what,that there is zero evidence any specific muscle is associated woth psychological trauma.Its psueudoscience from unqualified people.

[@snm1823]

You are like, sent from heaven. 🙌🏼🙏🏼💗 thank you!!!

[@supersyr]

just found you and got my yoga wheel. I did struggle finding a position that didn't hurt my lower back and ended up with much more space between my bottom and yoga wheel. I'm gussing that just indicates how tight i am?! Also my upper back started hurting, but I have issues with muscles between my shoulder blades from degenerated disc. don't know if psoas stretched lol but I was able to cross my legs easier I'll keep at it. thank you

[@angiefreese7530]

Which is better a yoga wheel or the chirp wheel that has a little valley in the middle for the spine?

[@zgs12212012]

I have both and find the Chirp with the little valley works best for me

[@dianewhalen9721]

What can you use instead of yoga wheel for support?

Hi Suki - how do we know which size wheel to use?

[@spikedcolor]

This is so helpful and comfortable. Thank you!

[@inforthewin3231]

I ended up going to a chiropractor lady and said that my spine was crooked and not right. She corrected it and it’s straight now. I feel calmer now. I feel lighter

[@Dahians]

Is there a Psoas Stretch for people with budging disc you can recommend? Thank you

[@agustinnavarro2896]

Hello, its really helpful, and very well explained. Thanks so much

[@whiteswan_wayshower]

Are you using a the 12” yoga wheel in this wonderful video? I definitely need one and just hope to find out which you recommend for psoas work.

[@SukieBaxter]

Yep! That’s the one.

[@whiteswan_wayshower]

@@SukieBaxter thanks so much! Mine arrived today. Starting work on my psoas at this moment!! ❤️

[@bernadetterussek6762]

There is no question that these movements work for me! Thank you! Question: what size is the yoga wheel that you are using? 12 inches? It keeps slipping out from under me. What am I doing wrong?

[@MrSwanky62]

Is there a substitute for the yoga wheel?

[@hehunches]

yoga wheel ok gotta have it thanks for this. been dreaming of a fix for this... looks feasable and hopeful.

[@inforthewin3231]

Spot on!! I have had trouble breathing for a long time, it feels like inability to take deep breath. you said shallow breathing, fear, stress anxiety. exactly me. can i use a bucket? My back also resembles lumbar lordosis is if that means anything. My lower back looks so tight and inward

[@SukieBaxter]

Hmm, I don’t think a bucket would work well because your shoulder blades would press against it.

[@havad3938]

I have every issue you mentioned...thnak you great info

[@OscarRamirez-to2gr]

Thank you for your videos. It really helps a lot!!

[@danielbobek1939]

Hi Sukie. I just found your videos and love them! I’m also interested to know your opinion of the yoga wheel with versus without a spinal groove..? Thanks!

[@birblife6611]

She usually takes a few years to respond. Hang in there!

[@voodoospear1113]

And I thought they used long confusing words at NASA, Haaaaa deep belly laugh... Great Vid!

[@Chieko989]

Sukie what is the secret to keep the wheel from rolling out from behind you? You make it look so easy. I am using a yoga mat too. Thank you in advance for your response.

[@leemoore1142]

hello sukie thank you for the information one question....is it necessary to have the 3 different sizes of yoga wheels?

[@juleecox3606]

Thank you!! 💚🤩

[@Dr.AtharPhysio]

Nice stretch...

[@johnritter4575]

Can you do this stretch without using a yoga wheel?

[@Australis19]

Can you picture the stretch being done without a yoga wheel?

[@phill6983]

I used the rounded arm of my sofa. It seems to work.

[@valeriecrosby698]

Is there another way to do this with out the yoga wheel?

[@SukieBaxter]

Not really, unfortunately. I'm a huge fan of using what you have lying around, but it's pretty hard to replicate the pressure created by a yoga wheel.

[@eileenvantyne2507]

What other props besides a yoga wheel would work?

Question here - when I stretch my left side- even subtly- I start to feel a pinching feeling in my right inguinal region. I try relaxing my right side but it is a challenge to maintain that left side stretch. I can’t identify the pinch specifically but any other ideas here to help resolve this issue? (I know it’s my brain 😊) thx

what can i rig to be like a yoga wheel? not buying one anytime soon

[@T3Temporal]

keg lol

[@nancios1]

The arm of your couch. Won’t be as effective but you’ll feel it if you’re psoas is very tight.

[@T3Temporal]

I saw a yoga wheel at an Academy Sporting Goods store the other day and it seemed pretty reasonably priced to me.

[@Infinite-in9nm]

A small pedal bin perhaps

[@higherselfabove]

How about a swiss ball? Would that work?

[@roserapp5215]

I am so excited to do this movement but found that it makes my neck, right at the base of my skull, hurt, so can I expect this to go away?

[@Vanessa-tm6jv]

I have the Pilates baby arch, would that work? Or it’s not high enough? :)

[@miningmonkey760]

I'm a newbie at yoga stretches,mats,wheels,etc....so I love this video but I found that when I use a t-shirt it hikes up my back and have to resort to taking my shirt off, is there a special shirt too?

Hi Sukie - I signed up for your Pain Free at Any Age series a few days ago, but I have lost the link to get back to it to continue to watch. Can you tell me how to find my way back. I would also like to ask a few questions, probably not appropriate here, and ask if you can send me a contact link please. Many thanks - and keep up the good work!

[@DDStriker-qf3ne]

Can I use a ball for this?

[@sandbar3000]

I want this yoga wheel to come to me. I can't order on Amazon because they don't know how to read directions that they have to deliver to the back door because my landlords live in the front and I don't want any Amazon driver to deliver anything to my landlord's front door. I work for the county full time I go to work I start at 7:30 in the morning I don't get off till 5:30 so if you SPS says pick it up at the door when am I going to go to the door? USPS is only open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and it's not like I have a husband or wife I don't have anybody picking up my mail for me. So yoga wheel wherever you are in the universe I live in Riverside County California I asked you to find me come to me I am going to love you and I know you have a owner out there somewhere that no longer needs you and I am willing to take over and use you. I will take care of you I will use you and I will open up these tight muscles in my body. I'm calling to you yoga wheel come to me I know you can hear me. I'm not going to be using Amazon nor USPS

Ok…I don’t have a yoga wheel. Bummed there isn’t another way to do the stretch. Trying it with a foam roller.

Is a 12 x 6” size ok?

My back is so tight that everwhere the wheel presses is tender. Is this normal?

[@catherinegoulet4263]

Very interesting! Thank you. If we don't have a yoga wheel and cannot buy one for now, what else can we use please?

[@Dr.AtharPhysio]

You can use any rounded drum...

[@phill6983]

I used the rounded are of my sofa. Seems to do the trick.

[@laurenp1796]

I have tried to do this so many times, bought a stupid wheel, but it just feels like im doing it wrong. Its so uncomfortable!!!

[@rishisingh7608]

Always though doing that to your back is bad but guess I was worng thanks for info..

[@SukieBaxter]

Nope, not bad to extend your spine unless you are hyper extending your low back to accomplish it. That’s why I noted that in the video, and also to stop if you feel pain.

[@rishisingh7608]

@@SukieBaxter Does sciatica pain fix it self after time..

[@SukieBaxter]

That’s a really complex answer. It depends on the source of the “sciatica” pain. Sciatica or sciatic nerve pain is a term often applied generally to pain radiating down the back of the leg, but also sometimes the side of the leg. True sciatica is an impingement at the spine level and can be from misalignment or narrowing of the bony canals through which nerves run. Piriformis syndrome presents with similar symptoms but stems from muscle tightness in the back of the hip. And then you have the stress component which can cause your brain to “misfire” and feel pain where there is no injury. The latter two often resolve with time and reductions in stress. The former two can resolve on their own but sometimes need medical intervention. So proper diagnosis is key.

Thanks much..

[@abdicationali8857]

Feeling more relix 😅

[@Frip36]

How about doing a video on blue jean yoga. Or corduroy yoga. Letting women know that they don't have wear the traditional black leotard in order for yoga to work. Yoga can be done in red or light blue corduroy and still be effective. This would also speak to low income women who may not have the extra funds to spend on leotards. Thanks. And keep up the good work.

[@nikitaw1982]

That was nice. Lots of yawning happening.

[@nikitaw1982]

I took a stick with a round end and jammed it into the spoas area in line with hip then raised lowered my knee after on both sides. Now my nose is clearing. Wow. Somethings happening...

[@inforthewin3231]

I have such horrible anxiety, I feel like air can’t psyically path they deeply, due to this I feel every 20 seconds I have to yawn but even most times air still doesn’t go in. I feel like I’m suffocating everyday, my chest always have a overwhelming feeling. This is so unbearable. I can’t focus good on any task because I have to yawn every 20-30 seconds. Its so annoying that literally Bite my arm as anger release. Imagine feeling on the run everyday, with not being able to breath, then uncomfortablly yawning 300 times a day.

[@earthshinemassage6501]

Acupuncture is a great way to start, find a community acupuncture clinic that’s a 501(c) and it won’t cost so much and you can go more regular.
