Oh my goodness … I have been practicing yoga for 5 years with that misleading “tuck the pelvis” memo and I’ve gotten myself into a pretty intense PPT. I’ve watched dozens of videos about how to address it, but this is by far the most helpful. Thank you so much!
I've been trying to work on my posterior pelvic tilt every day for the past year and despite watching dozens of videos and reading more tutorials than I can count, this video explained it all to me better than anything else I've come across. Thank you, Natalie! I'm feeling a renewed sense of hope now!
Thank you for this! I am mid-YTT and now I finally understand why forward folds of any sort are so hard for me. I now also understand that my modifications (bent knees) were likely worsening the problem.
This is explained better than any Physio I have seen for the past 2 years of weekly appointments and sessions! And searching UA-cam for clear explanation. Thank you
Thanks for posting this video. Since finding out that my hips are in a posterior pelvic tilt I've watched numerous UA-cam videos on the subject. This particular video is easily the most informative and deserves a lot more views.
I didn’t know why I was struggling with forward folds, and until I realised I have PPT. This video has been very informative. For the longest time I just assumed it was my fault for poor posture since youth and I always thought this was a permanent condition. Now I feel hopeful that I can improve it! Thank you so much.
Dear Natalie, this was super helpful, thank you so much for sharing it. I discovered a few years ago that I have a ppt. And not only a ppt, I have a completely flat back. :-( However, funny though, I am absolutely pain free. I've been practising Yoga for many years. There has never been a single teacher who told me to take care of anything you just said or gave me tips. Even in my 200h teacher training, this wasn't a topic, even though I asked many times. It seems that many yoga teachers don't have a clue about that. One year ago I went to a rolfing/structural integration therapist and it was helpful but not as much as your explanation. Now I really know and understand, why navasana is so, so difficult for me or why I can't lift myself up with straight legs.
So true, and so helpful. For years I have found myself sliding off the plastic seats on a long metro train ride! I just realised what a profound posterior pelvic tilt I have. The forward bend explanation was especially brilliant, along with the idea that stretching the lower back muscles only increases the problem! Downloaded your book, can't wait to read. Thanks a ton.
Absolutely incredible. I have the flexibility of an ironing board. I’ve never really understood why. You have targeted all the stretches that I find impossibly difficult because I just feel locked. Understanding that there is a path forward for me is very motivating and I’m looking forward to applying these techniques to my practice. Thank you so much. Greg
That has been incredibly generous of you to share. I loved how you explained everything and your tips. I'm going to put it to practice in my practice because I really need to improve my pelvis tilt. Thank you very much!
Thanks for this Natalie - so much helpful information. I definitely recognise myself in almost everything you say. I've downloaded the ebook and at a first glance it looks amazing.
Do you still have the free guide for pelvic tilts? I clicked the link, but it’s not there anymore. I’ve struggled with back pain and a lot of what seemed like dysfunction in my body for almost all my life. I’m getting closer and closer to understanding it, and hopefully heal it, and one of the problems right now is posterior pelvic tilt. So that guide would help a lot 🙏🌟 thank you for this video as well! I’m definitely gonna keep following you and do your yoga 🌟🌟
This video has given me the hope back that I lost years ago, thank you so much🙏 my ppt is work related is there any kind of brace or standing position that you think would be helpful in preventing or correcting this tilt as well? I am a dog groomer and am tall so lean over and down into a tub all day and have done so for 20 years :/ thank you so much, cannot wait to try these stretches🙏❤ namaste!
Thank you so much for this! Your videos are so wonderfully detailed. I have left-leaning scoliosis and likely a left lateral pelvic tilt, so yeah, wonky body all over. I have so many questions for you, but here's one: When I am doing forward folds or downward dog while standing, my back doesn't look very rounded, but while sitting it is quite rounded. Is this mainly a hamstring issue? Do I only need to adjust my astanga practice to target the hamstrings? Many thanks!
Thank you so much for this very informative video! I’m a yoga teacher and my student has this, so will definitely be implementing more of these in her practice. Just wondering about downward dog; should she focus on straight legs or keeping a straight back? Been getting her to work an anterior tilt with bent knees..
Hi April - thanks for your comment! My experience with downward dog is that people with PPT benefit from bending their knees slightly so they can really work on rolling their pelvis forward (aka sticking out their bottom a bit)...so I reckon what you're doing is good!

I didn't know it was possible to explain something so simply and thoroughly. This video is gold. Thank you!

Go Greg! You're so welcome
Thank you!!!
What about calf, would they be tight comparing to front muscles?
Every yogi man should see this and practice. :) Thanks a lot, the advice for proper Ashtanga asana practice is so beneficial!
