flexibility in the field

the lovely Nubah the Anubis Jackal :3

Your pelvic space has been silenced for centuries.

That’s why hip-opening often feels wrong for you and intimidating to others.

Our womb space holds an ocean of emotions. Especially shame.

Shame for not being allowed to move the way our body longs to.

Shame for being too much, too open, too powerful.

Many of us were taught (directly or subtly) to keep our legs crossed and our power tucked away.

Anything else was too much. Too vulgar. Too confident. Too alive.

So we learned:

Shrink yourself. Close your body. Don’t take up too much space.

A generational posture, inherited and internalized.

But standing with your legs wide, pelvis open, facing the world?

That’s a declaration.

Of courage. Confidence. Boldness. Strength. Sensuality. Fertility. Life force.

Practices like Goddess Pose (Utkata Konasana) or intuitive hip circles aren’t just exercises.

They’re invitations.

To reclaim our body.

To awaken the ancient feminine within.

To rise and meet life, fully open, wild-hearted and unshaken.

These movements don’t just stretch muscles.

They stretch open emotional space:

Joy. Grief. Shame. Ecstasy. Anger. Power.

And yes, many find that intimidating.

Because most people are disconnected from their own feelings.

And because we’ve all been conditioned to believe that open hips are somehow inappropriate.

Too much. Too exposed.

But here’s the truth:

That discomfort you feel in hip-openers?

It’s not just physical.

It’s because your body remembers how powerful you are.

Every inch of openness in your hips is a soft unraveling of control, fear, and performance.

You’re not too much.

And you don’t need to hold yourself together to be loved.

You’re allowed to expand.

To take up space.

To trust your body’s impulses.

To feel safe in your fullness.

Your pelvis is not a place of shame.

It’s the portal of your life force.

Goddess Pose, also known as Utkata Konasana or Kalyasana or Vijaya Asana, strengthens the thigh muscles, upper arms, and abdominal muscles.

Mind you, this was literally my first attempt without any warming up.. But -
