Covered in 3.2:
-Anatomical difference between female pelvis and male pelvis
-The female pelvis has:
-A wider flared ilium
-A pubic arch that is wider than 90 degrees
-An acetabulum (hip socket) that is more anterior and medial (more forward and in)
-A wider sacrum and sacroiliac joint that articulates at two segments (while the male pelvis articulates at three)
-The female pelvis has more mobility and less stability
-The male pelvis has less mobility and more stability
-The sacrum and ilium like to move as a unit
-This is relevant to sequencing in that we don’t want to further sacroiliac destabilization by:
-Transitioning from neutral to externally rotated poses
-Linking too many postures together on one side (especially for beginners)
Covered in 3.3:
-Location of coccyx (tailbone)
-Why the cue “tuck your tailbone” is not appropriate for everyone
-“Booty poppers” and “pelvic thrusters”
Covered in 3.4:
-The location of the psoas
-The key actions of the psoas
