Description

Named after the exploratory workshop of the same name, Stalking Wild Psoas contains nine short essays to inspire somatic therapists, bodyworkers, yoga, and movement teachers to conceive of body not as an object to be fixed, but as a self-organizing, self-healing, and bio-intelligent system. Shifting the paradigm, Stalking Wild Psoas urges the reader to begin changing the language of body to actively explore the psoas as a vital messenger of integrity and creative expression. Weaving new findings in biology, living systems thinking, somatic movement, and storytelling, Liz Koch emboldens us to recognize the limitations of the predominant mechanical thinking about body and to actively explore psoas as a vital core messenger.
