The Supportive Psoas: Yoga Therapy for the Spine, Pelvis and Legs
with Leila Stuart
October 20-21 | $325
THE PSOAS IS A TRULY YOGIC MUSCLE, bridging the body back to front, top to bottom, core to periphery, spine to limbs and Heaven to Earth. Though hidden deep within the body, the psoas is one of the most important muscles of the human structure. It has a multidimensional influence on your experience of stability, strength, ease and connectedness. When gently and sensitively accessed experientially using yoga therapy principles, the psoas can initiate a process of deep inner transformation as well as healing back pain, pelvic instability, digestive issues and a multitude of other physical conditions.
IN THIS WORKSHOP, YOU WILL LEARN TO:
- Access, relax and lengthen your psoas to its maximum resting length through experiential anatomy.
- Experience your psoas as a source of core stability and centrally initiated movement.
- Consciously engage your psoas to fully enjoy the benefits of asana through integrated movement that emanates from the core.
- Utilize inquiry to experience the shift in consciousness that can occur with dynamic engagement of your psoas.
- Access your psoas as a tool to experience a reproducible sense of being centered in yourself and accessing authentic power.
- Explore the role of your psoas in spinal, hip and pelvic alignment, stability and dysfunction.
- Utilize your psoas muscle in activities of daily living so movement is safer, stronger and more integrated.
