Hi there, I have a bad posture and I'm on a journey to get back into good posture forever again.
Today, I tried the happy baby pose once again and I realized that my hip flexors hurt a lotwhen I pull the knees to the chest like in the picture
I have anterior pelvic tilt and I try to stretch the Psoas twide a day
I'm extremely tense and was wondering if it's normal that it hurts in this position
Second picture is my posture at the moment

Feeling paint along outer shin, I feel it pull when ever I bend forward. I’m at a boot camp and have been doing allot of running, if been feeling pain and discomfort after runs. Not enough to completely stop me but enough to mess with my ability to keep a good pace. Need to make sure I can keep my time right for my pt tests
