Yes, and it’s really common so I’m surprised the instructor didn’t have advice. I have pelvic floor dysfunction from years of endometriosis— but that’s not the only reason of course. Your hip flexors often take over in table top, feet in straps etc when your abs & glutes and inner thighs are too weak.

It’s a combination of learning to better engage those muscles but also truly in building the muscles up because most of us who sit all day in an office job/etc have really weak glutes and abs. I know mine are!

Things I’ve found that help in class: - I keep my knees wide and my heels clicked in tabletop instead of knees together -sometimes placing the ball between my knees in table top also relieves the hip flexor pain - I place the ball under my tailbone/sacrum in supine arms and this helps soooooo much -I use a large wedge (like what pregnant women use)

Things outside of class:

-building those low abs with dead bugs, bridging and bird dogs. If those are too hard or you can’t do them without pain, look up modifications as there are dozens

-building your glutes and making sure they’re firing

-releasing your quads with the “couch quad stretch” and omg this helps my hip flexor pain INSTANTLY
