Do we store emotion in our hips?

“I was really excited to see this title and listened with anticipation to the podcast this afternoon. What a disappointment! I get that it’s hard to explain hips storing emotion from a purely scientific perspective. You two, however, rejected the notion out of hand and seemed to ignore the many learned people who believe there to be a connection. Did you interview any authoritative sources on the topic? Did you allow that there might be something to be said for this belief? No, you laughed and joked about emotions flying out of your hips “like a bird”. Your discussion seemed more like a night at the bar after too many drinks.
I am a yoga teacher and a nurse. I feel most comfortable with factual explanations backing up my cues in class and in the information I impart. However, I realize that there is limited funding for that level of research because there’s no money to be made determining if hips hold emotion. You rejected the validity of “perceived effect” even though sensing one’s body is central to the benefits of yoga.
Jenni, as a yoga teacher, you no doubt come into contact with fellow yogis who believe that there is a connection between stress and trauma and guarding and tightness in the muscles supporting the hip joints. Why insult these people because they don’t hold their beliefs to the impossible standards you set out? You and your cohost should go back and listen to this podcast again and see if it could be considered your best work. I hate that I’m not inclined to listen to your other podcasts, but I found this one to be sophomoric and downright offensive.”

“I was generally put off by the condescension and passive aggressive commentary and jokes even if the information is relevant and interesting to me. I’ll stick to reading and research that provides equally useful information and myth-busting without the tone of superiority and making fun of...”Read full review »
