I love the title of this post for two reasons.
1. Huey Lewis and the News...need I say more?
2. When practicing certain asanas, it's very important that your hips be squared.
I just love plays on words, don't you?
But let's get to the dealy-o of this post. It's all about my hips. And my hips are a-killin' me. For the last few days I have been feeling a great deal of tenderness in both my hips. It's quite the uncomfortable sensation. But my hips have been unruly for quite some time- for as long as I can remember, my hips have "clicked". When I get out of bed, when I get up from a chair, when I move my legs from crossed to straight to extended to bent...my hips "click", "crack", "snapple", "pop"...they're noisy little (and I use the term little quite loosely as I do find my hips quite curvy and hey, I'm not complaining) buggers. But today, oh my, today my hips were on my mind. I couldn't sit in any way that felt right. My hips were just so sore no matter what. I guess Sunday's YTT class of balancing poses didn't quite help either. I was having so much trouble balancing on one leg without having pressure shoot down into my hips. I grounded my legs, engaged my femurs, lifted my patellae...bu the pressure just wouldn't free itself. I noticed today that when I walk I feel bones rubbing up against each other in my hips- ouch. And now the pain has also started teasing my lower back- my poor sacroiliac joints perhaps.
I'm off to see my physiotherapist on Wednesday to see what she thinks. And of course I will ask my FabTeach what she thinks I could do to help my poor tender hips. I will keep you all posted! In the meantime, enjoy this video:
Namaste,
Lady Lotus
