Shaped by personal, social, and global flows of information, the psoas responds to not only stress signals but also impulses that stir our hearts and resonate deep within our bones. By having respect and support for our biological intelligence, the psoas emerges as a messenger t
that reveals deeply moving stories about compromise and sourcing as well as depletion and nourishment.

Bio-mechanical methods, which include direct palpation and manipulative techniques traditionally taught in most massage schools and bodywork programs do not provide the iliopsoas muscle complex with the respect crucial for gaining and recovering dynamic function. As an instinctually reflexive and emotionally expressive tissue, PSOAS, with all its intricate interdependent relationships, neurological and chemical expression of trauma  requires an insightful approach for resolving “core”  tension patterns. This 5 hour hands on workshop covers the basics of supporting healthy Psoas without further exacerbating cathartic or engaging in manipulative overwhelm. Whether working with clients on a table or the floor you will learn and practice the essentials for integrating a bio-intelligent approach to PSOAS.
