- ⭐Hey Yoga Lovers
👉 Welcome to Megan MacCarthy
"Discover the secrets to an effective and easeful self-healing journey for your lower back and psoas muscles! 🌟
In this video, we dive deep into gentle yet powerful techniques that will help alleviate lower back pain and release tension in your psoas muscles. Our expert guide will walk you through step-by-step exercises and stretches that are easy to follow, making your healing process a breeze.
Say goodbye to discomfort and hello to a stronger, more flexible lower back and a revitalized psoas. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain or simply looking to improve your well-being, this video is your gateway to a healthier you.
👉Join us on this healing journey and start experiencing the benefits today. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share with anyone who could benefit from this transformative self-healing practice. Your well-being is just a click away. 🌿💪
This is an update on my most popular TH-cam video “Somatic Low Back and Psoas Release”. After 3 years, the movements have proven beneficial to many students including myself. The movements are still my quick and easy 'go to' to relieve my grumpy psoas, and this video includes some beneficial additions. Now more than ever, I believe we are our greatest healers when it comes to psoas (among many other things). No manual manipulation or palpation of the psoas or other “quick fixes” of this tender, intuitive muscle can give you long term relief or bring you back to balance the way your own breath centered felt movements can. Maybe you find this video after exhausting all other typical fixes, but I hope you found comfort in it before that.

Another beautiful session thank you. Psoas is feeling the love! xox Hari Om
Good discipline and curiousity. Thanks again for commenting. Peace, Megan
Megan MacCarthy is the real deal!
Haaaa! Thank you 🙏
Thank you I will feel it the next days
Hopefully in a good way like you are re-entering yourself 🙏
Thank you 🙏💜 having CPTSD my PSOAS is often tight and in the fight or flight reflex mode. Your videos have helped me to not only hydrate and relax my PSOAS but also to calm my sympathetic nervous system overall 🙏🥰
I appreciate you sharing Lea and I find your comment to be so true and inspiring. You can't work with the psoas without considering the nervous system as a whole and visa versa. That's why the breath is the best bridge in. Peace, Megan
This video literally saved me! I've been having terrible, debilitating low back pain due to a tight psoas. But after practicing this video twice, I can finally move and breathe without much pain! I know I have a ways to go, but thank you SO much for sharing this.
Thanks for sharing with me Christina. Simple and kind movement to give yourself whenever you need it 💜
I shared this class with my small group of Somatic deep divers and combined it with some of your MR ball 'psoas whispering' play. Everyone reported some radical softening of their backs, legs able to release more and even shoulder blades. But the most pleasing result was one student who has suffered many years from almost unbearable discomfort and tightness in her mid thoracic spine/bra-line area. Nothing else has worked to release this in the few months I've been working with her but tonight she reported a softening, a change. I think we may have a path forward! Thank you for opening doorways Megan 😊
I want to come to your class Katrina! Honestly! Thank you for inspiring your students with soothing and playful movement. 🥰
I really really really leaned into this one yesterday and WoW🤩
Today, this body is adjusting in unimaginable ways! Sooooo liberating!!!
Day 11 of daily somatics with you, INfINitely Grateful🙏
11 days?! Very nice thanks for having the discipline and showing self love 🤗
I've ALLways heard my body VERY well, and this is the medicine it needed for so long and for so many reasons... I am so thankful for having tried in person classes three years ago to plant the seed for the rebeARTh that is occurring now🙏BlessINgs, Angel💫
What an effective routine. Thank you Megan
Thanks and glad it helped ☮️
I love coming to this practice after an especially stressful day! Each time I am reminded how magical it is! Thank you Megan! I also love your new space. You and Bodie are shining there ❤
Thank you Rania, it is a joy to know you found a practice you can come back to!!!
Wow just beautiful! Thank you.
My left side felt elongated and my right side felt right and all squished up. Then it felt so good to do the right side, I kept doing a little more it felt amazing and my body was telling me to keep going and hydrate, release and fresh blood and oxygen were going to the right psoas...just what it needed....ahhhh.
❤🙏
Hi Lilkc, thanks for your comment; I especially appreciate your wording of feeling all squished up. Glad it helped to unsquish you! Peace, Megan
When you said "the deepest wound needs the gentlest touch" I felt that very strongly and it made me tear up - I can tend to meet the pain with frustration because the feeling is upsetting, yet I know deep down that it needs my comfort and tenderness
That is something one of my teachers said to me a long time ago. At the time I heard it, I had a huge emotional release. It’s work to push less and love more in our own bodies 💜
This is marvellous ! I can feel my back pain has relieved a lot and the standing posture is aligned well. Thank you very much
Wonderful Chai! Thanks for sharing your success and happy healing 😘
Thank you. A gentle way to release some long-held emotions ❤️
Dear Tina, it sounds like you received well 🙏☮️
A wonderful practice for my whole (less and less wounded) left side! Finding that it's the quadratus lumborum most benefitting, particularly from the side bend/curl, though these last vestiges of injury all seem to realign through it. Thank you! (PS - your comment to 'plug the arm into the socket' really changed the impact for me.) Yes, we are our greatest healers.... with a little help from our erudite friends :)
Thanks Lynda for your specific feedback. Some of the cues just work for some…🤗 I find with my often over excited QL that the four planes of the pelvis practice is powerful as well. But all side work is fabulous xoxo
Well, what a happy camper I am for having found you , Megan. This was a lovely routine. I've been doing Somatics for several years , on and off. It's always better when it's "on". Your technique and comments and visualizations are a little different and I love that. Learning a new way to look at Somatics and my body. I'm on the west coast of Canada but I'm happy to join your community. Thank you so much for sharing. And I'll share you too !
Thanks for introducing yourself Evid. I laughed at your comment about it being better when it is "on". Isn't that the plain truth?! And I'd definitely taking being different as a huge compliment! My teachers are lovely and gifted, but I am me ;-)
Thank you for this most wonderful practice! You are so kind to share your knowledge. ❤
Thanks for commenting Cristi. I appreciate your support 🙏
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
You are very welcome and thanks for commenting.
Thank you for such a lovely, peaceful and nurishing practice
I remember recording that one. It was a beautiful day :)
Thank you. This has helped my left psoas.
Thanks for sharing Darla and deep healing ❤️🩹
Wow, the neuropathy feels like it’s surrendering on the right side after this hydrating move. Thank you
Surrendering…I like that in relation to neuropathy. Thanks for sharing and healing with me
What a beautiful class! Good luck in the new studio! Very happy for you🙏
Thanks Deborah! It has been so fun practicing in there in all the different weather moods this week. Should make for some interesting video backgrounds.
Thank you so much. I have many issues with my lumber, hip on sciatic pain so these really help me.
Thanks for letting me know it was helpful and I hope you continue to heal yourself from the inside. Peace, Megan
Thank you so so much..I developed poses syndrome injury from an accident with a biker coming from behind me and yelled..get out of the way..about 2 feet behind me..I tripped and fell on the hard ground...my dog injured her leg n limped for two weeks.. and I starred getting..hip..buttock , groin pain..was like this all summer as the town has not outlawed bikes on sidewalk..so I was always in fighting flight mode...very traumatizing....I feel I can recover now...but also writing a letter to my town deputy this week...can I do this every day for a while?.I was so afraid I would be injured for life...now I have hope...
I am sorry for your injury and difficulty, but happy to help in any way with the videos. Yes, you can do this every day. I have more practices for the psoas as well. This one might be healing for you as well and very gentle: th-cam.com/video/29NQT463Rns/w-d-xo.htmlsi=P400Jetl6HHsvcXv
@@MeganMacCarthy thank you ..! Already feeling less pain after 2 days of practice...will look at other video as well...
My psoas and hips are so tight that even this was too much. Can you Megan recommend some other of your videos to start? I am aware that this thighness is because chronic stress, feelings and pain. I am gratefull if you have some suggestion where to start🙏😇 And also Thank you about this one💖
I would recommend the sweet psoas release. Give that a try. And I also have a whole playlist for Psoas. th-cam.com/video/29NQT463Rns/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iHyKGaRJgHqeOtx5
Im loving your soas videos.. so healing 👌❤️
Thank you and continued healing ❤️🩹
@@MeganMacCarthy think everything's really coming together atm👌🤞I've had mostly no pain days for over a few weeks now for the first time in nearly three years 🍾🎉 honestly your classes are helping soooo much, Megan! ❤️
@@jensmith9288 Blessings that you are pain free and taking care of your body.
Thank you Megan 🙏🏻after walking the dogs in the rainy weather here in Norway today I need this. Now I need your yoga nidra from Insight Timer. I really hope too come to a retreat with you 🙏🏻🫶
Good to hear from you Anne Lise and that sounds like a wonderful combo! I am enjoying the rain here as well, and the smell and sound of it on the new studio. I do hope you are able to make a retreat some day! Peace, Megan
Thanks!
I appreciate your kind acknowledgment and donation ✌️💜
Megan, thank you for this beautiful class.....the sensation of peace and joy in my body felt 'nothing' ...just pure space. I liked how you mentioned about not disturbing bodhi....My cat Paris was with me watching Bodhi and doing her stretches ha ha . Bodhi seems to be supervising the show really well. What a beautiful scenic place to do somatics...is this your home now? Thank you again for your loving guidance.
Hi Leela, Your comment is so sweet and I can visualize you with our cat! Yes, this is our new home in Ireland and the studio just has a few finishing touches to go (but meets Bodhi's approval!) Peace, Megan
Great session.
I’m not sure if anyone else had low voice.
Thanks for letting me know. I had my producer husband check it and it seems ok. Hope you were able to enjoy it!
I love your pups in these videos. Mine were kissing me and taking up room on my mat and then yours appear and I realized we’re doing the same thing. 😂
Haaaa! That’s a great image and helps me because I still miss Bodhi my yoga dog 🫶🏼 practicing with your dogs is the best. Love them up!!!
♥️♥️
Thank you so much ❤
Thanks for commenting Mheyah ✌️
Thanks!
Dear Rania, you are so kind to donate! Thank you for keeping the content coming 😘🙏
Question , is the lumbar area flattening as leg cones down and lengthens? thank u
Extend the leg with the lumbar arches, then relax the long leg and slowly lengthening the lumbar by pressing it down. Continue to tilt the pelvis from the arch to the curl a bit with the leg long and relaxed.
Thank you for another great video, Megan. Since I have been trying to relieve low back & right hip pain & restricion, for over a year (herniated L4/L5 disc & some DDD diagnosis), could recommend some other of your videos, that might be helpful?
Hi Sandy, thanks for commenting. This is my playlist for back care: th-cam.com/play/PLOmVAMK7Vs-X_EeFtwbN0lpWPD5ThyXY0.html
That should be helpful in general. Without knowing more and working with you, it is difficult to pick specific classes, so see what feels best to you. I find the pelvic reset to be helpful when the low back and hips are both grumpy: th-cam.com/video/9f2BxggCIVs/w-d-xo.html
@@MeganMacCarthy Thank you, Megan! I have completed numerous classes in this Playlist, including the Pelvic Reset; however, I will continue trying all of your back care classes. Your new studio looks and sounds lovely; and I really enjoy seeing your dog in the background.
@@sandyk.2867 wonderful! Please let me know how it goes and I appreciate the comment on the studio. Off to paint it!
would you recommend this for a painful contracted psoas ? the flexion of the leg towards the chest shortens and tights the muscle... would it be good to do this anyway? thanks!!!
You are always your best resource on what feels right. The purpose is to hydrate the psoas my moving it through a range of motion from short to long. I do have a whole playlist for psoas. If this video seems to be a bit much, I would try the Sweet Psoas Release video. It is my personal favorite. th-cam.com/video/29NQT463Rns/w-d-xo.html
This is the Psoas Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLOmVAMK7Vs-WKNl5k22pUwPuAYQvtg3KU.html
Hi Megan, thank you so much for this sequence! My psoas has been so tight as to cause some frustrating health issues, and these are the first movements I’ve found that have actually started to release it - I can’t thank you enough!!
Quick question - how often would you suggest that I do this track? Is it good to do every day, or just a couple of times a week?
Hi Leah, thanks for sharing your success! Yes, you can do it every day. It’s best to do at least 5 days a week for 1/2 or more, but you can also change it up and don’t need to to do the whole things every time.
Nice practice, wouldn't recommend if your SI joint is hurting..
Thanks Loni, yes, this is not the practice I do when my sacrum is grumpy. I have a number of others specifically for that. Here are a few: th-cam.com/video/l7tTlAsYWE8/w-d-xo.html
