Back To The Source: The Powerful Psoas During Pregnancy & Birth

March 2, 2012 by lizkoch

I am headed to San Rafael California to teach a group of Doulas, Midwives, Attendants, and Mom’s all about their Psoas. So  why is the Psoas so important during pregnancy, birth and postpartum?  Because for a woman, her pelvis is the cradle of civilization.  It needs to be lush, centered, and dynamic.  The Psoas, spoken of as  the muscle of the soul in Daoist healing traditions,  holds the key for accessing instinctual wisdom so essential for a resilient natural birth process.  On a very functional level, maintaining or regaining a healthy Psoas relieves or eliminates low back and leg pains, opens and centers the pelvic and hips, and can help you avoid induction. On every level understanding the message of the Psoas resolves the fears of birthing and empowers babies to emerge whole-hearted.

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!
