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. Please register only if qualified. \n  \n \nNational Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) Approved \nThis is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork for 24 hours of continuing education credit (CEU).

SUMMARY:Remote Audio Psoas Course | summer 2019
DESCRIPTION:Psoas Audio-Class Begins Tuesday\, June 4\, 2019 \n \nWhat Participants Are Saying… \nFrom the very first class\, learning how to think about the psoas as bio-intelligent tissue\, something has ignited in me.  \nMy work these past 8 years with Chi Nei Tsang has been geared towards that with the whole body\, but something in the way you teach brought it more imminent. \nYour voice and actual delivery of information is the best way to release a tight Psoas! \nAbsolutely loving your teleclasses\, really validating the movement practices I’m so into (rolling\, grounding\, unraveling\, authentic movement etc) and backing it all up in the bio-intelligent paradigm. I’m learning loads! \nThis has been the best thing I have done for my Psoas. I am just sorry I did not do it sooner. \nI wanted to thank you for a truly enlightening class. I LOVE your investigations\, understanding of the psoas and integrative\, eye-opening perspectives. I really enjoyed this teleclass and hope to learn more from you in the near future! \nI just listened to the class recording and it is excellent\, I was especially moved by the details\, like your deft address of the word “attached”…as in “the Psoas is attached to…”  that is just lovely and restful to hear. \nI am finding your Psoas teleclass very useful and juicy – can’t wait to hear the next class! \nI want you to know that your words have such a resonance with my view of how enormous are the manifestations of the body beyond elemental anatomy.  Your clarity has affected how I begin the invitation to experience the movement of weight\, tissue\, and breath as one healing self; your clarity transforms (as a yoga teacher) my beginning into each person’s own inviting. This transformation has been remarkable to see. Coming upon your work is a magnificent meal for my begging bowl!  May I share this vitality\, and my thanks” \nInformative & practical: Exercises were assigned that were actually possible to do at home without personal contact with the instructor\, and I could do these exercises within the first day. \nValuable insight into how to work with a muscle that is a common problem for many of my clients. \nA most valuable class for postural and pelvic awareness – I learned how to sit more comfortably\, and I learned how to avoid exacerbating some SI joint problems I have. The physical therapy exercises I’d been given had only worsened my back/pelvic pain\, but I found Liz’s exercises and skillful observations to be profoundly helpful in reducing my pain and correcting my pelvic alignment. \nI’m really enjoying it very much and learning heaps. I love your languaging around all the issues and topics you are raising – inspirational. As a yoga teacher\, it seems that more and more I am moving towards an understanding and learning about neutrality\, equanimity\, balance\, and that my practice is about embodying that. Gradually I am finding that my yoga practice and teaching is not about mastering a particular shape with my body\, but more of an exploration of dynamic movement\, resolving towards balance\, presence\, and ease. \nGreat class\, I am excited by this fresh take on the core. \nListen LIVE or Listen to the class recording at your leisure after each class for the length of the course. \nFive consecutive Tuesdays\, from 4 pm to 5 pm PDT\, 6 pm to 7 pm CDT\, and 7 pm to 8 pm EDT (and to all international students – enjoy the recording on your timeline).  Listen to each one-hour virtual class\, from the comfort of your own home. Plus receive free coaching support for the entire 5-week course via email.  Registration cost is $220.00 (no early/or late dates to sign up) \nATTENTION – this course is NOT a webinar. It is an audio class – designed to help you develop your sensory system through the art of listening. \nThe class covers basic aspects of the Psoas\, its functioning\, effects\, and recommended explorations for weekly homework. No two series are exactly alike as each series is  live\, unique\, and includes updated information. If you attend live your time to ask questions\, explore problems\, and discover new emerging ideas after each class. \nYou’ll receive personal email coaching with premium email access to me throughout the length of the 5-week course.  Email me your personal or professional psoas questions\, problems\, and concerns.  I will attempt to provide with a quick response each time and to support your healing and educational process. \nShould you wish to join me you are responsible for your telephone/skype costs (i.e. long distance or phone minutes) when attending the live class lecture. Or listen to the class recording each week for free on your computer.  The recorded class will be sent to you within 24 hours after each class by email. Each recorded class may be listened to throughout the length of the series with the last class having 5 weeks for review after the live class ends. \nIMPORTANT NOTE: The recordings are NOT downloads and require a flash to listen to on your phone. \n\nClass Day One (June 4\, 2019)\n\nIntroduction\nDiscover all about your Psoas\nLocation\nFunction\nHip flexor\nTensile structure\nPsoatic shelf (supports organs)\nHydraulic pump (massages)\nFear reflex (flee/fight)\n\n\nClass Day Two (June 11\, 2019)\n\nConnecting The Psoas: Relationships\nSkeletal support\nJoint rotation\nMuscle flexibility\nOrgan functioning/ breathing\nPregnancy and birth\nEarly movement patterns\nEmotional well-being\n\n\nClass Day Three (June 18\, 2019)\n\nSimple Ways of Understanding The Complex Psoas\nTrauma and the Sympathetic Nervous System\nWhy Palpation & Manipulation Should Be Avoided\n\n\nClass Day Four (June 25\, 2019)\n\nPsoas Injuries: Why they happen and how to avoid them\nResolving Trauma: the difference between release and resolution\n\n\nClass Day Five (July 2\, 2019)\n\nHow to maintain a healthy vibrant dynamic Psoas\nSupportive fitness/bodywork protocols\nSumming It all Up\n\n\n\n \nNational Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) Approved \nThis is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork for 5 hours of continuing education credit (CEU).

SUMMARY:RE-WILDING Psoas: WILD  ~ A Collaboration with Kimberly Ann Johnson Encinitas CA
DESCRIPTION:Although culture defines the “wild” as untamable\, feral\, out of control\, riotous\, ridiculous\, rash\, stupid\, impractical\, and tempestuous\, it is by welcoming the wild that we avoid living a domesticated\, indifferent\, and unenthusiastic life. \nEnfolding somatic awareness and biomorphic movement into our life changes not only the course of our health but the creative expression of our soul. \nRe-wilding psoas is not a sacrifice or a fix for a dilemma; rather\, it is a way with which to participate – to consciously join in\, to belong… to play.  \n \nCreating fertile territory for re-wilding psoas requires dissolving\, decomposing\, and recycling what is stagnant in order to once again let our hearts lead us into dynamic\, fresh impulses of play. In contrast to cathartic discharge\, flailing dissonance\, or dismissive amnesia\, re-wilding is a surge that can dynamically change the course of our life. No longer controlling core behavior ~ re-wilding psoas becomes an expression of renewal. \nJoining me for a ONE DAY (for only women) Adventure is Wild Woman ~ Activate Your Inner Jaguar ~ creator Kimberly Ann Johnson  \nI want to explore the return to our original blueprint through breath\, movement\, and invitations for expression and unwinding. Wild is free\, uninhibited\, true to pure nervous system impulse\, smoothing skips in the record\, uncovering original impulses. Exploring reach\, halted movement\, completion\, connection\, co-regulation all seem like ways in to wild.  watch her  Jaguar video  https://vimeo.com/314157513 \n \n  \n\n \nKimberly Ann Johnson is a Sexological Bodyworker\, Somatic Experiencing trauma resolution practitioner\, Structural Integration practitioner\, birth doula\, postpartum revolutionary and single mom. She specializes in helping women prepare for birth\, recover from birth injuries and birth trauma\, and heal from sexual trauma.  She is the founder of Magamama.com\, an international holistic women’s health care resource for expectant and new mothers. She is the author of the bestselling The Fourth Trimester: A Postpartum Guide to Healing Your Body\, Balancing Your Emotions and Restoring Your Vitality. She leads hundreds of women through the process of reclaiming their power in her signature online courses\, Activate Your Inner Jaguar and Forging a Feminine Path. \nLISTEN TO Kimberly’s interview with Liz Koch #EP50 her Magamama.com podcast https://www.magamama.com/podcasts \n  \n  \nThis workshop is based on my new book Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence  \n\n “Liz Koch opens the reader to a brilliant phenomenological panorama of the human body as a shaping\, a process\, a Gestaltung—as the expression of our soul\, intelligence\, and consciousness.” \n—Jaap van der Wal\,MD PhD\, embryologist\, anatomist and (recovering) morphologist \n  \nLiz Koch\, author of Core Awareness andThe Psoas Book\, seeks to dissolve the objectification of “body” in order to reconceptualize human beings as biologically intelligent\, self-organizing\, and self-healing. Specifically addressing educators and therapists\, she delves into the conceptual framework of core by decolonizing the popular mechanistic thinking of psoas as muscle\, inviting the reader on a journey toward reengaging with life’s creative processes. The book illuminates the limitations of the predominant paradigm of body and actively explores psoas as a vital\, intelligent messenger that links us to an expansive network of profound possibilities. Employing biomorphic and embryonic paradigms\, Koch redefines psoas as smart\, expressive tissue that is both elemental and universal. Named after the her popular exploratory workshops of the same name\, Stalking Wild Psoas encourages all readers to nourish integrity and claim self-efficacy as creative and expressive individuals. \n  \n

DESCRIPTION:SEX & THE PSOAS  \nA 3-hour class for women only \nFocused on the relationship of the Psoas to all aspects (and ages) of sexual health: pleasure\, full body orgasm\, and core integrity. \n \nStaying juicy\, no matter what age or phase you are experiencing\,  involves entering the waters of life\, the arms of mother earth and be held by caring deeply for yourself.  Whatever that looks like for you\, whatever your desire; gardening\,  sharing with women friends\, journaling\, bodywork\, and privacy – it is mandatory that we take back time.  In the midst of a busy family time I demanded of myself like a ferocious guard dog\, my own time for being nourished.  Adrenal health is a happy life in every phase. Whether in moon cycle or menopause when I understood that my anger or hot flash was a sign that I was lacking nourishment\, in all its varied forms: nutrient rich foods\, sleep\, play\, and rhythm\, I would slow down and sense within.  Finding my own rhythm by attuning to the earths rhythms I began again a new dance of life with self\, family\, and other.    \n(excepted from Maiden\, Mother\, Crone: Our Pleasure Playlist)

SUMMARY:Stalking Wild Psoas: Dance Your Psoas Home ~ A Collaboration with Laura Ward Kingston NY
DESCRIPTION:Dance Your Psoas Home! \nMAY-PLAY SPECIAL\nRegister & Bring a Friend For 1/2 OFF Price\n(refund discount given within 24 hours)\n \nRe-wilding psoas nurtures self-efficacy. An open-ended exploration invites an opportunity to rediscover what the ancient wisdom of play has to offer us. Our curiosity burgeons as we grow confident in the language of play. Freely meandering allows an unfolding into abundant sources of unimagined exchanges. Whether exploring on our own or within a group\, an act of riotous play can erupt spontaneously unstructured – with no winner or loser – deeply nourishing our confidence in simply being ourselves.  \nLiz Koch Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence  \n \nPlaying with the dynamics of feeling ~ sensing\, we will engage in guided and spontaneous explorations to access the kinespheric\, three-dimensional gravitational support within of our personal realm of movement while discovering new territory with partners and group interactions. As we shift back and forth through freedom and form-based explorations\, play and process-oriented discussion\, we evoke the intelligence of our living tissue in resonance with both earth and community. A spirit of collaboration and participation is essential as we co-create a movement choir based in fluid resilience and inspiration….so to play-dance our psoas home.  All levels of movement experience and ability are welcome and appropriate in this workshop. No experience is necessary.  \nJoining me (Liz Koch)  is Laura Victoria Ward\, BA\, CMA\, RSME\, an award-winning choreographer\, Laban Movement Analyst\, and teacher. In conjunction with dance and somatics\, her special interests are the movement and health of fascia and group dynamics. She is the artistic director of Octavia Cup Dance Theatre a multi-generational Maximalist contemporary ballet company. Laura splits her time between Kingston\, NY\, and NYC much in the way her body shares time within classical and somatic movement forms. \nGetting There: Come as you may by train\, bus\, car\, bike\, or on foot…. Fast and Direct:  2 hour bus (from NY Port Authority) drops you in downtown Kingston in walking distance to studio. \nhttps://trailwaysny.com/bus-between-kingston-nyc/\n

SUMMARY:Remote Audio Psoas Course | early spring 2019
DESCRIPTION:Psoas Audio-Class Begins Tuesday\, February 19\,  2019 \n \nWhat Participants Are Saying… \nFrom the very first class\, learning how to think about the psoas as bio-intelligent tissue\, something has ignited in me.  \nMy work these past 8 years with Chi Nei Tsang has been geared towards that with the whole body\, but something in the way you teach brought it more imminent. \nYour voice and actual delivery of information is the best way to release a tight Psoas! \nAbsolutely loving your teleclasses\, really validating the movement practices I’m so into (rolling\, grounding\, unraveling\, authentic movement etc) and backing it all up in the bio-intelligent paradigm. I’m learning loads! \nThis has been the best thing I have done for my Psoas. I am just sorry I did not do it sooner. \nI wanted to thank you for a truly enlightening class. I LOVE your investigations\, understanding of the psoas and integrative\, eye-opening perspectives. I really enjoyed this teleclass and hope to learn more from you in the near future! \nI just listened to the class recording and it is excellent\, I was especially moved by the details\, like your deft address of the word “attached”…as in “the Psoas is attached to…”  that is just lovely and restful to hear. \nI am finding your Psoas teleclass very useful and juicy – can’t wait to hear the next class! \nI want you to know that your words have such a resonance with my view of how enormous are the manifestations of the body beyond elemental anatomy.  Your clarity has affected how I begin the invitation to experience the movement of weight\, tissue\, and breath as one healing self; your clarity transforms (as a yoga teacher) my beginning into each person’s own inviting. This transformation has been remarkable to see. Coming upon your work is a magnificent meal for my begging bowl!  May I share this vitality\, and my thanks” \nInformative & practical: Exercises were assigned that were actually possible to do at home without personal contact with the instructor\, and I could do these exercises within the first day. \nValuable insight into how to work with a muscle that is a common problem for many of my clients. \nA most valuable class for postural and pelvic awareness – I learned how to sit more comfortably\, and I learned how to avoid exacerbating some SI joint problems I have. The physical therapy exercises I’d been given had only worsened my back/pelvic pain\, but I found Liz’s exercises and skillful observations to be profoundly helpful in reducing my pain and correcting my pelvic alignment. \nI’m really enjoying it very much and learning heaps. I love your languaging around all the issues and topics you are raising – inspirational. As a yoga teacher\, it seems that more and more I am moving towards an understanding and learning about neutrality\, equanimity\, balance\, and that my practice is about embodying that. Gradually I am finding that my yoga practice and teaching is not about mastering a particular shape with my body\, but more of an exploration of dynamic movement\, resolving towards balance\, presence\, and ease. \nGreat class\, I am excited by this fresh take on the core. \nListen LIVE or Listen to the class recording at your leisure after each class for the length of the course. \nFive consecutive Tuesdays\, from 4 pm to 5 pm PDT\, 6 pm to 7 pm CDT\, and 7 pm to 8 pm EDT (and to all international students – enjoy the recording on your timeline).  Listen to each one-hour virtual class\, from the comfort of your own home. Plus receive free coaching support for the entire 5-week course via email.  Registration cost is $220.00 (no early/or late dates to sign up) \nATTENTION – this course is NOT a webinar. It is an audio class – designed to help you develop your sensory system through the art of listening. \nThe class covers basic aspects of the Psoas\, its functioning\, effects\, and recommended explorations for weekly homework. No two series are exactly alike as each series is  live\, unique\, and includes updated information. If you attend live your time to ask questions\, explore problems\, and discover new emerging ideas after each class. \nYou’ll receive personal email coaching with premium email access to me throughout the length of the 5-week course.  Email me your personal or professional psoas questions\, problems\, and concerns.  I will attempt to provide with a quick response each time and to support your healing and educational process. \nShould you wish to join me you are responsible for your telephone/skype costs (i.e. long distance or phone minutes) when attending the live class lecture. Or listen to the class recording each week for free on your computer.  The recorded class will be sent to you within 24 hours after each class by email. Each recorded class may be listened to throughout the length of the series with the last class having 5 weeks for review after the live class ends. \nIMPORTANT NOTE: The recordings are NOT downloads and require a flash to listen to on your phone. \n\nClass Day One (February 19\, 2019)\n\nIntroduction\nDiscover all about your Psoas\nLocation\nFunction\nHip flexor\nTensile structure\nPsoatic shelf (supports organs)\nHydraulic pump (massages)\nFear reflex (flee/fight)\n\n\nClass Day Two (February 26\, 2019)\n\nConnecting The Psoas: Relationships\nSkeletal support\nJoint rotation\nMuscle flexibility\nOrgan functioning/ breathing\nPregnancy and birth\nEarly movement patterns\nEmotional well-being\n\n\nClass Day Three (March 5\, 2019)\n\nSimple Ways of Understanding The Complex Psoas\nTrauma and the Sympathetic Nervous System\nWhy Palpation & Manipulation Should Be Avoided\n\n\nClass Day Four (March 12\, 2019)\n\nPsoas Injuries: Why they happen and how to avoid them\nResolving Trauma: the difference between release and resolution\n\n\nClass Day Five (March 19\, 2019)\n\nHow to maintain a healthy vibrant dynamic Psoas\nSupportive fitness/bodywork protocols\nSumming It all Up\n\n\n\n \nNational Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) Approved \nThis is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork for 5 hours of continuing education credit (CEU).

SUMMARY:POWER of Psoas: A Collaboration with Deric Stockton CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:A Collaboration between Liz Koch & Powerlifter Deric Stockton \nDon’t miss this rare opportunity! \nExperience The ‘Action Potential’ and POWER of Your Psoas\n2-day (12-hour) Psoas workshop open to EVERY-BODY focused on true core strength and power! Today’s fitness programs often employ locking down the ribs\, tucking the tail\, and pulling into the core abdominal muscles as a strategy for developing core strength. This erroneous approach is not how power lifter and elite trainer Deric Stockton found his true power and strength. Capable of power lifting over 804 pounds\, Stockton teaches that it is a supple\, dynamic Psoas\, and highly developed proprioceptive nervous system that is essential for attaining strength and power. \nNOTE: this is Saturday & Sunday Workshop meets each day at a different location in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Day one is held in Felton CA at a studio\, Day two is held in Scotts Valley CA at Stockton’s gym/studio. \nDiscover A Functional Paradigm for Strength & Igniting Core Power: \n\nDevelop tissue strength without density\nBuild a practice around eustress (positive) not distress (negative)\nGain effective restoration and active recovery tools for overcoming all injuries\nGo beyond the symptomatic/asymptomatic approach and evoke true vitality\nMove from a supple dynamic core to build lasting strength\nAchieve power by enhancing preconception and bi-lateral equalization\n\nDeric Stockton is the owner of Core Strength RX Gym.  He is a certified trainer and the creator of a system for developing a powerful and functional core. Deric is a Psoas aficionado\, like myself\, but arrives at core awareness from a very different background. An athlete\, marine\, and bodybuilder turned power lifter\, turned strength coach & personal trainer\, Deric is one super Psoas savvy guy! He works with all ages and all levels of functioning including training for the Special Olympics.  Deric has an amazing somatic understanding of the core and the importance of skeletal integrity\, proprioception\, and fluid tissue for gaining overall health and well-being.  He is also a living anatomy\, which offers students an example of tissue capable of a wide range of expression. \nCANCELLATION POLICY: All collaborative workshops registrations are FINAL and have no refunds. Please read my complete cancellation policy available online before registering.

SUMMARY:Winter Remote Audio-Class 2018
DESCRIPTION:Psoas Audio-Class Begins Tuesday\,  November 27th\, 2018 \n \nWhat Participants Are Saying… \nFrom the very first class\, learning how to think about the psoas as bio-intelligent tissue\, something has ignited in me.  \nMy work these past 8 years with Chi Nei Tsang has been geared towards that with the whole body\, but something in the way you teach brought it more imminent. \nYour voice and actual delivery of information is the best way to release a tight Psoas! \nAbsolutely loving your teleclasses\, really validating the movement practices I’m so into (rolling\, grounding\, unraveling\, authentic movement etc) and backing it all up in the bio-intelligent paradigm. I’m learning loads! \nThis has been the best thing I have done for my Psoas. I am just sorry I did not do it sooner. \nI wanted to thank you for a truly enlightening class. I LOVE your investigations\, understanding of the psoas and integrative\, eye-opening perspectives. I really enjoyed this teleclass and hope to learn more from you in the near future! \nI just listened to the class recording and it is excellent\, I was especially moved by the details\, like your deft address of the word “attached”…as in “the Psoas is attached to…”  that is just lovely and restful to hear. \nI am finding your Psoas teleclass very useful and juicy – can’t wait to hear the next class! \nI want you to know that your words have such a resonance with my view of how enormous are the manifestations of the body beyond elemental anatomy.  Your clarity has affected how I begin the invitation to experience the movement of weight\, tissue\, and breath as one healing self; your clarity transforms (as a yoga teacher) my beginning into each person’s own inviting. This transformation has been remarkable to see. Coming upon your work is a magnificent meal for my begging bowl!  May I share this vitality\, and my thanks” \nInformative & practical: Exercises were assigned that were actually possible to do at home without personal contact with the instructor\, and I could do these exercises within the first day. \nValuable insight into how to work with a muscle that is a common problem for many of my clients. \nA most valuable class for postural and pelvic awareness – I learned how to sit more comfortably\, and I learned how to avoid exacerbating some SI joint problems I have. The physical therapy exercises I’d been given had only worsened my back/pelvic pain\, but I found Liz’s exercises and skillful observations to be profoundly helpful in reducing my pain and correcting my pelvic alignment. \nI’m really enjoying it very much and learning heaps. I love your languaging around all the issues and topics you are raising – inspirational. As a yoga teacher\, it seems that more and more I am moving towards an understanding and learning about neutrality\, equanimity\, balance\, and that my practice is about embodying that. Gradually I am finding that my yoga practice and teaching is not about mastering a particular shape with my body\, but more of an exploration of dynamic movement\, resolving towards balance\, presence\, and ease. \nGreat class\, I am excited by this fresh take on the core. \nListen LIVE or Listen to the class recording at your leisure after each class for the length of the course. \nFive consecutive Tuesdays\, from 4 pm to 5 pm PDT\, 6 pm to 7 pm CDT\, and 7 pm to 8 pm EDT (and to all international students – enjoy the recording on your timeline).  Listen to each one-hour virtual class\, from the comfort of your own home. Plus receive free coaching support for the entire 5-week course via email.  Registration cost is $220.00 (no early/or late dates to sign up) \nATTENTION – this course is NOT a webinar. It is an audio class – designed to help you develop your sensory system through the art of listening. \nThe class covers basic aspects of the Psoas\, its functioning\, effects\, and recommended explorations for weekly homework. No two series are exactly alike as each series is  live\, unique\, and includes updated information. If you attend live your time to ask questions\, explore problems\, and discover new emerging ideas after each class. \nYou’ll receive personal email coaching with premium email access to me throughout the length of the 5-week course.  Email me your personal or professional psoas questions\, problems\, and concerns.  I will attempt to provide with a quick response each time and to support your healing and educational process. \nShould you wish to join me you are responsible for your telephone/skype costs (i.e. long distance or phone minutes) when attending the live class lecture. Or listen to the class recording each week for free on your computer.  The recorded class will be sent to you within 24 hours after each class by email. Each recorded class may be listened to throughout the length of the series with the last class having 5 weeks for review after the live class ends. \nIMPORTANT NOTE: The recordings are NOT downloads and require a flash to listen to on your phone. \n\nClass Day One (November 27\, 2018)\n\nIntroduction\nDiscover all about your Psoas\nLocation\nFunction\nHip flexor\nTensile structure\nPsoatic shelf (supports organs)\nHydraulic pump (massages)\nFear reflex (flee/fight)\n\n\nClass Day Two (December 04\, 2018)\n\nConnecting The Psoas: Relationships\nSkeletal support\nJoint rotation\nMuscle flexibility\nOrgan functioning/ breathing\nPregnancy and birth\nEarly movement patterns\nEmotional well-being\n\n\nClass Day Three (December 11\, 2018)\n\nSimple Ways of Understanding The Complex Psoas\nTrauma and the Sympathetic Nervous System\nWhy Palpation & Manipulation Should Be Avoided\n\n\nClass Day Four (December 18\, 2018)\n\nPsoas Injuries: Why they happen and how to avoid them\nResolving Trauma: the difference between release and resolution\n\n\nClass Day Five (January 08\, 2018)\n\nHow to maintain a healthy vibrant dynamic Psoas\nSupportive fitness/bodywork protocols\nSumming It all Up\n\n\n\n \nNational Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) Approved \nThis is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork for 5 hours of continuing education credit (CEU).

SUMMARY:Stalking Wild Psoas: Womb to World Amsterdam Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:The Journey that Shapes Our Life\n Taste the Wild Waters of Wholeness\n \nand experience the world in new and curious ways! \nJoin Liz Koch and Anna Verwaal for this most extraordinary Stalking Wild Psoas Workshop. Womb to World: The journey that shapes our life  is a process oriented workshop combining storytelling\, research\, and movement. By exploring how each of us is shaped\, quite literally\, by the field of experience in the womb and therefore of life itself\, we will go far beyond our limitations of experience and taste the wild waters of wholeness that is our birthright. Focusing on both the social and personal journey this transformational workshop is for everyone seeking to understand\, heal\, prevent\, and/or resolve their own conception\, prenatal\, and birth imprints. \n(couples planning to conceive or currently pregnant who wish to consciously give their baby an optimum start in life are also welcome to participate). \nThis workshop is a collaboration:\nAnna Verwaal presents her stunning photography\, research\, and storytelling. Anna weaves 30 + years of perinatal psychology research and her professional experience to help you understand the long-term effects of your own conception\, time in your mother’s womb\, and your birth and early post natal experience. Discover how this experience might still be affecting you physically\, emotionally\, and spiritually. If your conception was unplanned\, your birth induced\, or via emergency C-Section; or you were born with a tight umbilical cord around your neck\, you might feel more like you are surviving than thriving in life. But this does not have to be the way. Experience how becoming conscious of your earliest imprints helps to support your human potential\, personal relationships\, and creative expression throughout life.  \nLiz Koch presents embryologically based somatic explorations. Liz brings 40+ years of sensory intelligence to encourage your ability to integrate and innovate. Using subtle primal movements we’ll dissolve dynamics of conception\, womb memory\, and birth impressions held and expressed within cellular memory without eliciting cathartic reactions.

SUMMARY:Stalking Wild Psoas: Womb to World Copenhagen DK
DESCRIPTION:The Journey that Shapes our Life\n Taste the Wild Waters of Wholeness\n \nand experience the world in new and curious ways! \nJoin Liz Koch and Anna Verwaal for this most extraordinary Stalking Wild Psoas Workshop. Womb to World: The journey that shapes our life  is a process oriented workshop combining storytelling\, research\, and movement. By exploring how each of us is shaped\, quite literally\, by the field of experience in the womb and therefore of life itself\, we will go far beyond our limitations of experience and taste the wild waters of wholeness that is our birthright. Focusing on both the social and personal journey this transformational workshop is for everyone seeking to understand\, heal\, prevent\, and/or resolve their own conception\, prenatal\, and birth imprints.  \n(couples planning to conceive or currently pregnant who wish to consciously give their baby an optimum start in life are also welcome to participate). \nThis workshop is a collaboration:\nAnna Verwaal presents her stunning photography\, research\, and storytelling. Anna weaves 30 + years of perinatal psychology research and her professional experience to help you understand the long-term effects of your own conception\, time in your mother’s womb\, and your birth and early post natal experience. Discover how this experience might still be affecting you physically\, emotionally\, and spiritually. If your conception was unplanned\, your birth induced\, or via emergency C-Section; or you were born with a tight umbilical cord around your neck\, you might feel more like you are surviving than thriving in life. But this does not have to be the way. Experience how becoming conscious of your earliest imprints helps to support your human potential\, personal relationships\, and creative expression throughout life.  \nLiz Koch presents embryologically based somatic explorations. Liz brings 40+ years of sensory intelligence to encourage your ability to integrate and innovate. Using subtle primal movements we’ll dissolve 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 insistant patterns reveal our life assumptions\, strategies\, and desires. Using micro-movement and sound-breath we access fluid movements to integrate and awaken. Revitalizing the very core of your being restores and nourishes our capacity for becoming creative\, heartfelt beings.   \nBiographies: \n \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.
