In today's self massage practice we will work on the quads (front of the thigh), the hip flexors (that area between hips and leg as well as front of hip) and the iliopsoas (the deeper inner layer of muscle attaching the upper/lower body together).

Props: 2 Yoga Tune Up Balls or 2 tennis balls and a tube sock (or get a set here: http://amzn.to/2uZFsfV) and a block or large book.
