I often hear yoga teachers say, open the groin, the outside of the groin is backward, where is the groin?

The groin is the area between the abdomen and thigh. The groin is composed of many ligaments, muscles and tendons, which fuse with the pubic bone and form the groin area together with the adductor muscles of the hip joint.

What are the benefits of opening the groin? Promote blood circulation and disinfection. What are the common causes of groin injuries that can help you complete your posture better? Generally, it is due to the sudden change of motion direction or the rapid start and stop of motion. In yoga, this is most likely to happen when entering and exiting postures. Opening the groin can also change our body structure better, so that we can open our bodies better and make better and more difficult movements.

The groin is a triangular area on both sides of the lower abdomen, with the inner boundary being the outer edge of rectus abdominis, the upper boundary being the horizontal line from the anterior superior iliac spine to the outer edge of rectus abdominis, and the lower boundary being the inguinal ligament. The reasons of weakness in this part are as follows: (1) The external abdominal oblique muscle moves to the thin aponeurosis, forming cracks below it; The lower edges of the internal oblique muscle and transverse abdominis muscle did not reach the inner side of inguinal ligament, so there was no muscle coverage in this part. The uterine ligament forms a potential crack through the inguinal canal. In addition, when the human body stands, the pressure in the groin area is about three times that in the supine position. Due to the above anatomical and physiological characteristics, hernia often occurs in this area.

For people who often contact yoga, the role of groin is very important, which will bring certain benefits to our health and other aspects. The benefits of practicing yoga are numerous. It delights the body and mind and keeps us in a comfortable body structure.
