Anne's tweets about seeing rock gods Chris Cornell and Josh Homme work out their hips on stage this weekend got me googling about a persistent problem that I have in yoga: keeping my hips square.
Tightness in the lower back, lazy abs, overdeveloped quads (mine from years of speed skating) and all kinds of physical habits can make this difficult.
I have also been told that we "hold our past" in our hips. Could be.
This fairly detailed description from Yoga Journal gives some detailed instructions on stretching and some exercises that you can do before or after class...or, for me, in my office.
