Before I started researching more and more for my first lead trainer position at my very own YTT-200 I didn't even remember the "Quadratus Lumborum" muscle from all those Nursing AP classes in university. TBH it was a long time ago.
A rather important back muscle that can become shortened and tight, the QL is also rather large, connecting from the lower rib to the "hip bone" iliacus. Take a look at this bad boy and try a few stretches. Especially side stretches to release some tension that you probably didn't even know you had. The key here...Lateral Flexion! Create some space in the side body. OMG, this is wonderful. Give it a shot. Have fun yogis! http://www.yogajournal.com/slideshow/anatomy-quadratus-lumborums/
