SUMMARY:Neck & Psoas: As Above So Below Collaboration with Carol Lessinger
DESCRIPTION:J A N U A R Y  31\n\n11:00 CENTRAL /10:00 MOUNTAIN  \n\n\nZ O O M  R E C O R D E D   C L A S S\n\nNeck & Psoas: As Above So Below\n\nA 2-hour Collaboration \nwith \nCarol Lessinger\n\n\nThe territory we will be exploring is the relationships among our neck/throat\, jaw\, tongue\, tailbone\, and psoas.\n\nCarol has been exploring the connection between the psoas and the longus coli muscle that emerges from the cervical vertebrae. Liz has been exploring the Psoas and tongue as our spinal fish connection.  We’ll begin with movement explorations based on the Feldenkrais Method of Learning. Taking the time that we need to grow our learning we explore relationships between the upper midline and the lower midline.  Then taking a deeper dive\, we will use the beginning prompts to let our inner life guide us to our own unique networks of connection.\n\nWhen noticing how we engage with intention and attention\, especially when pausing\, we often discover habitual patterns of movement. As we expand our choices in this realm\, we move into greater freedom in all our relationships\, our actions\, and we open to a rich terrain of bio-dynamic responses.\n\n\n\n\n\nCarol Lessinger Master Feldenkrais Teacher  with over 40 years experience has always been interested in the connection between movement and emotions. She started her career in the 1970’s teaching creative movement to children and dance improvisation to adults. The children truly expressed themselves and were having fun\, while the adults inhibited themselves and made it more work than it needed to be. She wondered what held the adults back and thought\, ”If only I could help by getting my hands on them.” In addition to her Feldenkrais training\, she has trained as a massage therapist\, a Postural Integrator\, along with studies in Cranial Sacral Therapy\, Zero Balancing\, Embodied Life with Russell Delman\, and she is a Cortical Field Reeducation trainer.\n\nBringing consciousness to healing through presence\, ease\, and self compassion is truly important to her. She has integrated a lifetime of somatic exploration into her own unique way of helping people feel better about themselves and to move more freely.\n\n\n\n\n\nLiz Koch is a conceptual artist exploring the deep sensory system and the wild wisdom of core Psoas. An international somatic educator and author with 45 years of experience\, she is the creator of Core Awareness™ and the author of The Psoas Book; Core Awareness: Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise & Dance; Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence; and her upcoming book Birth Savvy. Liz focuses on kinesthetic intelligence and somatic awareness as a means for developing our human potential. Stalking  Wild Psoas is her passion and Changing the Language of Body is her mission.

SUMMARY:Coming To Our Senses as Women - Monthly Group
DESCRIPTION:A Kinesthetic Sensory Inquiry For Women \nComing To Our Senses\na monthly dive into movement and word \nChanging the Language of Body\, Culture & Community  \nWhat is the experience of core integrity if it emerges at this moment within a sensory based woman? \nHow do we\, as women live from our vibrant core integrity? \nWhat does integrity sense like within the very core of our being?  \n  \n \nAs one woman wrote “with the impulse to be good is the fear of getting it wrong.”\nHer words say it all.\nIf we can physically experience our conditioning within our personal core\,\njust maybe we as woman can collectively locate our authenticity within our flesh and bones\nand truly show up and flourish as integral. \nWHO IS THIS MONTHLY MEET FOR: \n\n  This community is a sisterhood of possibilities unrecognizable by the current patriarchy. If you have taken Coming to Our Senses\, joined my WILD Discernment class/or club\, participated in the WILD Wise Woman Course or Stalking Wild Psoas…this might be a place of nourishment. \n\n\n \n\n\nJoin me for 2.5 hours once a month for 12 months to dive under the cultural/historical stranglehold to sense our animal body’s essential aliveness and potential. Dissolve the density..the fear\, the freeze… the fawning responses…discern brutal or savage from wild and be here now!\n\nHonor Our W I L D knowing\ntracking your expression as no longer predicated on inauthentic yet correct behavior. \nlimited for intimacy to 22 Women

SUMMARY:Vertical Fluidity: Primal Brain as Resource collaboration with Darrell Sanchez Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Presented November 2022. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \nVertical Fluidity\nPrimal Brain as Resource \nCollaboration  \nwith  \nDarrell Sanchez  \n  \nAttuning to Fluid Verticality for Coherency\, Juicy Psoas & Creative Potential  \n  \nJoin Liz Koch & Darrell Sanchez as we explore how integrating our primal brain with a fluid psoas supports skeletal proprioception. \nStructuring the system often creates stability and safety but at a cost. Whereas the free flow of information happening through fluid responsiveness to gravity is a constant rejuvenating dance with life. Accepting the fact that the nervous system is designed to have head over feet (the developmental process from infant to standing adult) does not require rigidity\, bracing or freezing movement. We do not have to forsake all the beautiful gestures and nuanced expressions of fluidity to maintain form and structure. Rather\, as a living biodynamic systems\, resourcing the primal brain attunes us to our verticality\, fluid coherency and creative potential \n  \nLISTEN to our conversation: https://coreawareness.com/attuning-to-fluid-verticality-for-coherency-video/ \n  \na tuning board is NOT required to attend this class \nDarrell would like to offer you a 10% discount code to help make the Tuning Board more accessible.

SUMMARY:Stalking Wild Psoas: Womb To World with Anna Verwaal on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The Journey that Shapes Our Life\n\nJoin Liz Koch and Anna Verwaal for this most extraordinary process oriented workshop \ncombining research\, personal exploration and movement\nNO RECORDINGS \n\nMore than four decades of findings in the field of pre-and-perinatal psychology has shown that the moment of conception\, the time in our mothers’ womb\, and how we are born are foundational experiences that affect us for the rest of our lives. Our health\, belief system\, fears\, and ability to form healthy relationships are profoundly shaped by early non-verbal\, emotional\, and somatic imprints created during this primal period. \nThis online workshop is for anyone seeking to explore and understand how conception\, prenatal experience\, and birth-related imprints might still play out in their day-to-day life. \nAnna and Liz work collaboratively to provide a comprehensive container of information\, personal experiences\, and nourishment in order to create a space to explore preverbal memories without experiencing cathartic reenactments.    \nEach day will include a specially prepared audio-visual presentation\, a guided movement exploration\, and a break-out room sharing session and/or creative processing session through artwork. Anna will help participants recognize their own early imprints and how they may be related to their conception\, prenatal period\, or birth experience. Using micro-movement and sound-breath techniques\, Liz will help participants access fluid movement to dissolve\, integrate\, and awaken. \nGroup Size: 20 \n\nA creative collaboration: \nInternational Pre & Perinatal Educator Anna Verwaal\, combines the latest findings in the field of pre and perinatal psychology with her decades of preconception to post-natal counseling and professional work experience in all areas of maternal-child health. Anna weaves her extensive personal and professional experience\, with her stunning photography and storytelling to help you understand the long-term effects of your own conception\, time in your mother’s womb\, birth experience and early postnatal experience in order to discover how these experiences might still be affecting you physically\, emotionally\, and relationally. If your conception was unplanned\, your birth induced\, or you were born with a tight umbilical cord around your neck or spent time in an incubator\, you might feel more like you are surviving than thriving. But this does not have to be the way forward. Experience how becoming conscious of your earliest imprints can improve the relationship with yourself\, with loved ones\, and how it can help support your human potential and creative expression throughout life.  \nInternational Author & Somatic Educator Liz Koch focuses on integrating your somatic expressions and experiences as you witness Verwaal’s photographs of the interventions and life experiences that babies have lived through and begin remembering your own birth story.  Liz brings her 45 years as a somatic educator to encourage integration and innovation. Using subtle primal movements you’ll begin to dissolve personal dynamics of conception\, womb memory\, and birth impressions held and expressed within cellular memory without eliciting cathartic reactions. Holding a container of nourishment our prenatal imprints\, which may be playing out in a variety of expressions are able to find resolution. You will discover how insistent patterns reveal your life assumptions\, strategies\, and desires. Using micro-movement and sound-breath you’ll access fluid movements to dissolve\, integrate\, and awaken. Revitalizing the very core of your being to restore and nourish our full capacity for becoming dynamic\, creative\, heartfelt beings.   \nBiographies:\nAnna Verwaal\, RN\, CLE is a maternal-child health nurse\, conscious conception & birth consultant\, primal period educator\, midwife & doula instructor\, UCLA certified lactation educator and birth photographer from the Netherlands.  After a 25-year nursing career in various countries in obstetric\, pediatric\, neonatal hospital care\, and home-health settings\, working with families and babies as an educator/consultant Anna started her own private birth consulting practice.

SUMMARY:Core Awareness Mentorship: Advanced Professional Course Lawrence KS
DESCRIPTION:This 4-day advanced course is designed for professionals who wish to refine their understanding of the explorations found in my book Core Awareness: Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates Exercise\, and Dance plus hone your ability in reading the psoas one to one.  In the intimacy of my private studio we will integrate the fundamental concepts for regaining and maintaining a healthy psoas. Each day we will refine and articulate movement\, increase proprioception\, and integrate the results working together as individuals and in partnership. Learning from each other’s expertise\, sharing our observations\, questions\, and concerns in hopes of developing a keen eye\, touch\, and intuition. \nMy goal for you is to integrate the explorations into your own practice to be able to guide your clients and students through a natural process for regaining and maintaining a healthy psoas.  \nThis workshop is offered to only 5 participants. It provides the time and attention necessary to deepen your understanding of my work with the psoas.  Each day will be a full day of learning.  My home will be open to you to enjoy my private library resources and to collaborate over a shared lunch around my table.  \n \nPROFESSIONAL OUTCOMES: Course Participants will gain hands-on skills for supporting the healthy psoas. Becoming cognizant of the signs of an overactive sympathetic fear response participants will identify and choose a strategy of support\, facilitate and implement basic trauma protocol\, utilize somatic tools for supporting the psoas and the sympathetic neuro-core\, and facilitate their client and students ability to resource support. Participants will also develop tools for evaluating their client’s ability to maintain a functional psoas by designing individual client homework that develops healthy self-help and lifestyle choices. Participants will display the ability to lead students through explorations that support the healthy psoas within their field of expertise; including conceptualizing and communicating the importance of core integrity and its relationship to the psoas. Participants will learn to assess the health of the psoas\, create a strategy for regaining a functional psoas\, define and prioritize which systems are interfering with the health of the psoas\, incorporate integral core concepts\, and educate their client/student in activities that overuse or recruit the psoas. Learning to guide their clients towards healthy ergonomic choices participants will enlist the five basic Core Awareness concepts utilizing these concepts and integrating them into their field of expertise to enhance the well-being of their clients/students base.  \nPREREQUISITE & REQUIREMENTS: You must be a professional (not a layperson) and have attended a minimum of two Psoas Workshops (or Tele-class plus workshop combination) to attend this course.  I encourage professionals already on my COMMUNITY page to attend to further deepen your understanding of how to utilize the explorations and develop skills in working one to one. This course is an educational process designed for people in the field of bodywork and fitness\, not for those wishing to heal their Psoas.

DESCRIPTION:Fluid Psoas\, Primal Gestures\, & Archetypal Qigong\nNourishing Expression\na collaboration of energetic force\nwith\nLiz Koch & Sarah Byrden\n\nphoto credit Nghang Vu (Pixabay)\n\nThe confluence of our two bodies of work creates a unique alchemy and synergy. Together they touch\, awaken\, and nourish a deep longed for place\, returning us to the truth of our fluid form\, to the mystery\, miracle\, and intelligence of our human life.  Weaving a thread back into the web of life you will leave this workshop with greater coherence\, resilience\, and sustenance having touched and played in the field of both origin and possibility. \nWhen perceived through the living matrix of embryology\, our Psoas becomes smart tissue\, growing out of a vibrant\, intelligent midline ~ the central axis.  A Primal NeuroCore\, Psoas is rooting tissue that emerges from the very core of our being and grounds us into the gravitational energies of life on earth. When reframed\, healthy psoas is fluid juicy tissue  ~ dynamically expressive and soulfully responsive. \nThe expression and exploration of Archetypal Qigong is a somatic participation in medicinal gestures that offer us maps\, mirrors and potent energetic medicine. Through the forms we literally move our way into a conversation with the wisdom\, resources\, and deep memory of the archetypal world of patterns and stories that hold keys to our potential\, integration\, and creative power. Each form holds a different medicine. What is it to inhabit and cultivate patterns of surrender\, protection\, courage\, hope\, trust\, eros\, deep yin power\, and yang beauty?  Archetypal Qigong helps us meet the ever-evolving world by shifting us from mere ideals into a felt-sense inhabitance of life’s vital energies. \n\n\nSarah Byrden has been a somatic practitioner\, educator and  wilderness guide for over 20 years.

SUMMARY:Applying Fluid Movement to Exercise Protocal  2-Hr Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Applying Fluid Movement to Exercise Protocal  \n\nWorking with fluid movement both before and afterward exercising \nis a practical way of developing sensory core awareness to enhance fitness and exercise. \nPresented July 2022. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n \nHuman being are spine-based organisms. The earliest pre-vertebral (spine) is found in the ancient ocean creature\, the sea squirt. Fluid Movement enhances the development of neuro-pathways\, which in turn helps us avoid compensations that lead to injuries. \n\n\nAll movement is spine-based. \nArticulation of movement emerges from a supple\, fluid\, dynamic core. \n A specific movement  initiated from core awareness has the greatest range of expression with the least amount of muscular substitution.  The arms and legs\, with centered ball-and-socket joints\, are capable of moving in all three-dimensional planes. When core movement is not disrupted it differentiates as it moves out into fingers and toes. \n\nE N H A N C E    ~  R E C O V E R ~  S T R E N G T H E N

As a Cultural Ambassador\, she has developed empowerment programs for people to speak the unspeakable\, love their broken selves and own their innate power by combining the power of storytelling\, empathy and the creative arts/theater to teach the power of Words to manifest your desired outcomes now. She has empowered Women and young people through her programs all across New York City as a Teaching Artist as well as in France\, Kenya\, Italy\, South Africa and Germany. Trained in the Stanislavsky Method of acting in Paris\, France\, Anasuya co-founded a theater company in Paris with friends to perform classical French theater in the Commedia dell’Arte style. Returning to the States\, she continued as an actress in her own plays and as a spoken word artist. As a lover of words\, she has edited and been included in several anthologies of poetry and essays. \nAs an advocate for women’s leadership\, Anasuya is also a Certified and Licensed WomanSpeak Circle Leader\, facilitating the unleashing of the brilliance of women’s voices as public speakers. This training expands Anasuya’s healing offering to women and children  ready to liberate their voices stolen by trauma from rape\, sex trafficking\, sexual and physical abuse. As a Certified Intentional Creativity Teacher\, Anasuya creates and leads workshops and programs that lead people into a Vision Quest into the heart of their Soul Work and their innate healing capacity using visual art\, writing and sacred rituals. \nHer longing to be a career diplomat to bring cultures and people together in peace\, led Anasuya to study International Relations and Communication at Oberlin College. As required by the US State Department\, she became bi-lingual in French\, deepening her study of the language at the Sorbonne\, Universite de Paris\, in Paris\, France.  She has traveled to 22 countries and has lived in six countries outside of the United States. Witnessing the need for women’s leadership\, Anasuya created and has been facilitating her Let Love Lead workshops and programs that ignite the sacred alchemy between theater\, poetry\, song and art and healing from trauma. This platform creates safe space for understanding between cultures. Most notable is Anasuya’s work fostering dialogue between Germans and the newly arrived Syrian refugees; between Italians and the African asylum seekers crossing the Mediterranean; and between South Africans and their exiled citizens living with AIDS at the height of the AIDS pandemic. \n\n \nPhoto Credit: Jen Theodora (unsplash)

SUMMARY:FLUID CORE: Pelvic Integrity ~ A collaboration with Sue Hitzmann
DESCRIPTION:Juicy Psoas \nA  SENSE  OF  WHOLENESS\nPelvic Integrity \na collaboration  \nwith  \nSue Hitzmann \nPresented May 2022. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n \n\n\n\nThe pelvis is the center of gravity in an upright human. Its stability is what allows force to be transmitted from the trunk to the legs.\nPsoas is at the very heart of this transmission.\nSustaining pelvic integrity is inherently linked to everything from our emotional state to our physical state\nand\nHydrating our Connective Tissue Network is KEY\nLearn to restore your pelvic integrity and juicy psoas\nwhether that be lost due to pregnancy\, injury\, or trauma \n\n\n\n\n \n\nMeet My Guest Collaborator: \nSue Hitzmann\, MS\, CST\, NMT\, is a nationally recognized neuro-fascial manual therapist and teacher whose studies and explorations have culminated in the creation of the MELT Method®. A revolutionary approach to pain-free fitness and longevity\, MELT is a self help technique for working with the connective tissue system called fascia to help restore movement efficiency and overall health span. Because the Psoas is deeply embedded in the sympathetic neuro-core\, hydrating connective tissue is an important key for resolving Psoas inflammation\, pain\, and tension. \nNeuroCore is a termed coined by neuro-fascial therapist Sue Hitzmann creator of The MELT Method® (2006) first heard during a conversation (2010) with author Liz Koch discussing the deepest “fascial bags” that enfold spinal cord\, psoas\, kidney\, adrenals: The NeuroCore System is comprised of a Reflexive Core – the 3D cylinder and the Rooted Core\, the head-to-toe neurofascial connection that allows our brain to sustain more efficient balance of our masses and spaces (another MELT Term) for the bony and joint parts of our body.(2018)

We will be hand-selecting a small group of professionals to delve deeper into the intersectionality of somatic movement and Core Awareness within an embodied dynamic nervous system and primal core psoas. Over the span of 23 years Amber has\, through her immersion into the Polyvagal Theory \nand her work with survivors of human rights abuses globally\, developed an Integrative Body of Dance and Movement work specifically integrating the polyvagal theory so that it can be applied in direct somatic work with clients. Together Amber and I will  explore her integrative work and with the primal core expressions of psoas.  \n \nPRE-REQUISITE: This is an advanced collaboration course for PROFESSIONALS and is only for those already with a firm foundation in somatic explorations. Participants  need to know they have the confidence\, physical centering\, and psychic anchoring to hold them in time and space.  A clear sense of containment and a fluent practice in grounding is required. This course is not a fit for those who may be currently feeling destabilized\, traumatized\, struggling to heal\, or in need of reestablishing basic nervous system or life coherency. We will be going deep in this course\, not only conceptually but truly into the live wilderness of psyche and soma.  You must have attended Liz Koch’s 12-Hr Basic and Advanced Core Awareness Course and/or the Professional Application Course and/or studied and trained extensively with Amber Gray.

SUMMARY:Nourishing Wood Element and Liver Energy ~ a collaboration with Sarah Byrden
DESCRIPTION:Nourishing \nWood Element \n& \nLiver Energy\n New Beginnings\, Vision\, Growth and Hope\nPrimal Gesture & Archetypal Qigong\na collaboration\nwith \nSarah Byrden \nNO RECORDING\n\n\nphoto – jeremy bishop unsplash\nMoving into Spring\, we feel the surges of new life bubbling up from below the earth\, budding on tree branches and in our own bodies. In Chinese Medicine it is the Liver that is the expression of the Wood Element\, the element that allows Spring to occur in our bodies and our lives. Wood energy graces us with new vision\, the heart-felt experience of hope\, new beginnings\, growth and individuation after the watery world of Winter.  When we try to take a step into Spring but our Wood Element is weak or overactive\, it can manifest as lack of vision and hope\, anger\, restlessness and an inability to begin anew. Join us for this online class in which we will nourish our Liver and the Wood Element through primal gesture and archetypal qigong forms. \n \n\nSarah Byrden has been a somatic practitioner\, educator and  wilderness guide for over 20 years. She is a two time TEDx presenter\,  has dedicated over 2 decades to deep study and apprenticeship in western and non-western modalities\, and teaches from her own life-long journey in the realms that she offers. She is the founder of The Elemental Self\, and offers her students pathways to remember themselves\, the web in which they belong\, their innate capacities to move and be moved by a Source beyond conditioning.

SUMMARY:Nourishing The Water Element & Kidney Energy ~ a collaboration with Sarah Byrden
DESCRIPTION:Nourishing \nWater Element \n& \nKidney Energy\nDestiny\, Dreamtime\, and the Foundation of Life\nPrimal Gesture & Archetypal Qigong\na collaboration\nwith \nSarah Byrden\nNO RECORDING \n\nphoto sergey pestered  – unsplash\nOur Kidney energy is quite literally the root of our entire life force\, and an expression of the Water Element in Chinese Medicine. From this well flows our sexual energy\, the deep dreams we were born to bring to bear\, the marrow of our very bones\, and the waters from which we come and one day will return to. Our Kidneys become depleted when we are stressed\, manifesting fear\, lack of energy\, and a loss of faith in life itself. There is no ability to move into the new growth of Spring if our Kidneys are tapped. Join us for a 2-hour movement class to nourish our Kidneys and the Water Element through primal gesture and archetypal qigong forms. \n \n\nSarah Byrden has been a somatic practitioner\, educator and  wilderness guide for over 20 years.
