OSA PENINSULA, COSTA RICA

July 19-26, 2025

My PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION COURSE as an opportunity to heal your own Psoas and bring Core Awareness to your professional life..

The Application Course offers those trained and licensed in a variety of professions such as Movement & Somatic Educators, Yoga Instructors, Pilates & Gyrotonic Trainers, Massage Practitioners, Body & Healing Practitioners; as well as Birth & Fitness Coaches, Dance Therapists, Martial Arts Instructors, and Psychologists, Trauma and Embodiment Educators the opportunity to become Psoas Savvy, capable of helping others integrate, resolve, and restore core integrity.

Completing this 30-hr USA Nationally Certified Course is a prerequisite for joining my online Community and referral page where people can locate psoas savvy classes and a variety of therapists in their local communities.

Step away from your dedicated focus to deepen and broaden your perspective and experience your bio-intelligence through this core tissue. Doing so, your own psoas becomes a guide for self-actualization that informs your work and deepens your core integrity. A healthy psoas is the first step towards functional movement and a coherent nervous system. Having a coherent core not only supports your capacity for core strength and integrity but also deeply nourishes a resilient life ~ offering essential components for achieving your professional goals.

Join me for a restorative &  inspiring 6 days/7 night in the Wilds of Costa Rica where we have a salt water pool and the ocean to dissolve and reappear…

WEATHER IN JULY :”July is a sweet spot in the calendar for visiting Costa Rica: Hot and sunny, not too rainy, and glowing with greenery. It’s a busy month, but not crazy-busy like the peak season at the end and beginning of the year. It’s busy enough not to be boring. The wildlife is visible and the beaches are perfect. The Osa Peninsula, located on the Southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, is a world premier rainforest destination dubbed one of the most biologically intense places on earth by National Geographic. The pristine peninsula is bound on the northwest by Drake Bay, on the west by the Pacific Ocean, and on the east by the Golfo Dulce. The Osa Peninsula offers breathtaking, untouched scenery, secluded beaches and abundant wildlife encompassing lush primary rainforest and a complex system of freshwater and marine resources.”

Welcome to Core Awareness™

Liz Koch is an international educator and author who seeks to dissolve the objectification of “body” in order to re-conceptualize human beings as biologically intelligent, self-organizing, and self-healing. Employing biomorphic and embryonic paradigms, Liz redefines psoas as smart, expressive tissue that is both elemental and universal.

Core Awareness fosters core integrity and self-efficacy as creative and expressive human beings.

Here at Core Awareness you’ll discover new ways of understanding the psoas. In addition to the blogs there is an educationally rich sourcing free for the taking. Explore my videos, articles, podcasts, interviews, FAQ’s and community links and let yourself go wild!
