You often hear in yoga and tantra that we “store emotions in our hips.” It’s a beautiful idea, but the body doesn’t literally file sadness, fear or sexual experiences inside the hip flexors waiting for pigeon pose to release them. What is fascinating is how closely movement, sensation, breathing, attention and emotion are connected.

Deep hip-opening positions can put us into shapes we rarely inhabit in everyday life. They expose areas we often keep protected, change tension through the pelvis and surrounding muscles, alter the way we breathe and ask us to stay present with sensations rather than immediately moving away from them. For some people that feels relaxing. For others it can unexpectedly bring emotion, vulnerability or even sensuality closer to the surface, not because an emotion was physically trapped there, but because changing the state of the body can change what we notice and feel.

Tantric traditions take that relationship further. The pelvis isn’t treated simply as a collection of joints and muscles to make more flexible; it’s part of our relationship with sensation, breath, attention, pleasure and embodied awareness. Instead of racing toward the deepest stretch, the practice becomes noticing what happens when you breathe into a position, soften unnecessary tension, move your pelvis differently and actually feel yourself from inside your body.

That is the side of hip opening I find far more interesting than simply getting flexible. More freedom through the hips can change how you squat, dance, arch, rotate and move with another body, while the practice itself can become incredibly sensual when you’re no longer treating your body as something to fix.

Inside my Patreon here I explore that connection through naked, uncensored naked yoga and movement mobility, sensuality and the pleasure of discovering what your body feels like when there is nothing between you and the movement.

Have you ever gone into a stretch expecting to feel it physically and been surprised by what you felt emotionally instead?
