SUMMARY:Working with PSOAS: Hands-on Techniques for Massage Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:Working with PSOAS\nHands-on Techniques for Massage & Bodyworker Practitioner\nEDUCATIONAL \nPOST RECORDED CLASS RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE \n \nShaped 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\nthat reveals deeply moving stories about compromise and sourcing as well as depletion and nourishment. \nMassage & Bodywork Magazine (2019) The Psoas  by Liz Koch\n~  ~  ~ \nBio-mechanical methods\, which include direct palpation and manipulative techniques traditionally taught in most massage schools and bodywork programs do not provide the iliopsoas  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 2 hour class  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 the essentials for integrating a bio-intelligent approach to PSOAS. \nPsoas is a not the problem  ~  it is the messenger  ~  listen to its message  \n\n~  ~  ~ \nLiz Koch is an international teacher and author with 45 years of experience\, focusing on kinesthetic intelligence andsomatic awareness for developing human potential. The creator of Core Awareness™\, Liz is dedicated to educating both laypersons and professionals about the core psoas. She is the author of The Psoas Book\, Unraveling Scoliosis CD\, The Psoas & Back Pain CD\, Core Awareness: Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise and Dance\, and Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence. Koch is an NCBTMB-approved continuing education provider.

SUMMARY:Coming To Our Senses ~ UnEarthing Our Wild Desires with Sarah Byrden
DESCRIPTION:COMING TO OUR SENSES- EXPANDED\nSarah Byrden joins Liz Koch with Archetypal Qigong \nOpen To Every Body \nUn~Earthing Our Wild Desires\n          Moving Beyond the Edges of Homeostsis and Social Conditioning  \nThe synergy of fluid primal movement and archetypal gesture opens doorways…dissolving boundaries\, spilling over.. into unknown possibilities \nDomestication flattens and suffocates the WILD terrain of being. It has caused us to hedge around desires\, longings\, and truths.  \nDesire and Destiny is said in Chinese Medicine\, to be Rooted in the Kidneys.\nIt is through the Water Element that our true desire eventually flows out into the world through the bounty of the Heart.  \n \nWith domestication comes strictures\, implications\, and internalized correct behaviors\nOur inquiry now becomes an invitation to sense into hidden entrapment and limitations. \nJust as dense cities pour cement over living interconnecting waterways\, we too lose sight\, smell\, and taste of our flowing inner terrain of potential\, pro-creative urges vitality hidden deep within our core. \nUnknowingly we remain within collapsed margins of homeostasis that render us unable to respond\, innovate\, and participate in living\, never-ending gestures of BECOMING. \nJoin us for a 3-week series of lush\, life-restoring movement and possibility. \n3 WEDNESDAYS – 9:00 PACIFIC | 10:00 MOUNTAIN | 11:00 CENTRAL | 12:00 EASTERN – RECORDED CLASSES AVAILABLE FOR 3 WEEKS AFTER LAST CLASS \n\n\n\nPhoto credit zoltan-tasi-unsplash

In addition\, the individual sessions\, midmonth gatherings\, and all the material really enriched the process!”\n~ Désirée Bourgonje – Healing Tao – Netherlands\n\n“As a bodyworker for 34 years\, the 10-month Application course with Liz Koch for me was a journey of self-exploration into transformation.  It deepened my relationship with my clients’ needs and enabled me to meet them where they are in the moment\, without an agenda of my own. I came out of the course with valuable\, tangible\, easy-to-implement tools to share with my clients that deepens their own bodies’ innate healing capacity.”\n~ Lori Rizzuto\, Lic. MsT\, Bowen Practitioner – USA\n~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~ \nOffering my PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION COURSE as a 10-Month Online Course via Zoom brought my attention to the need and value of integrating concepts and experiences over space and time.

SUMMARY:Join me for Sunday Tea and a Conversation about Core Integrity
DESCRIPTION:Join me for Sunday Tea \nSunday January 5\, 2025\nTUNE IN 1:00 Eastern | 12:00 Central | 10:00 Pacific \nJoin Liz Koch for a  FREE Conversation open to everyone!  Please bring your own refreshments\, inquiries and curiosity… \nWhat is Core Integrity?   Why is Psoas a ground swell of  flow that  like a river is shaping the terrain of our very being? How do we enter into a loving relationship with our living breathing core being ? \n \nTracking our animal body instincts is primary for making  deep bone knowing decisions. sniffing out what feeds our soul\, and reckoning with our unfolding  lives. Core Integrity is a way of rooting deeply into community\, our chosen family\, and the core of a living Earth. \nStalking Wild Psoas is a flesh sensing  journey back home\, unfolding layers of being that is fragmented. \nChanging the language of body is a tendering\, a remember-ing we are earth bodies\, made of dirt\, water and sky – by slowing down\, pausing to sense the seeds of our being we find ground to  root; moving through layers of dominant cultural perceptions of body which set us up for failure…to discover how direct perception offers nourishment sustaining our meandering curious awareness and heartfelt longing to reshape us through this time of emerging gestures.

SUMMARY:Working with PSOAS: Hands-on Techniques for Massage Practitioners  ~ Sonoma CA & Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Working with PSOAS: Hands-on Techniques for Massage & Bodyworkers \n5-hr Workshop in Person – Sonoma\, CA\nOnline Zoom \n Tuesday August 13 \n  \n \nShaped 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.\nBy having respect and support for our biological intelligence\, the psoas emerges as a messenger that reveals deeply moving stories about compromise and sourcing as well as depletion and nourishment. \nMassage & Bodywork Magazine (2019) The Psoas  by Liz Koch\n~  ~  ~ \nBio-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. \nNational Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) Approved\nThis is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork for 5 hour(s) of continuing education credit (CEU). For more information on the NCBTMB\, please visit their website. \n  \nPsoas is a not the problem  ~  it is the messenger  ~  hear its message  \n  \n \nRegina Gregor graduated from massage school in 1989 and has been a certified massage therapist for 35 years. A Psoas savvy practitioner\, Regina completed the 30 hr Core Awareness Application course for Professionals. As a movements educator she is both an Essentrics Instructor\, and an Advanced Level 5 MELT Instructor. \n  \nAfter working consistently for 35 years\, from chiropractor’s offices to backstage at concerts\, I am happy to say I still loving giving massage. To bear witness to my clients finding rest and relaxation through massage is a gift\, and I consider myself lucky to be a part of this process.  \n\n~  ~  ~ \nLiz Koch is an international teacher and author with 45 years of experience\, focusing on kinesthetic intelligence andsomatic awareness for developing human potential. The creator of Core Awareness™\, Liz is dedicated to educating both laypersons and professionals about the core psoas. She is the author of The Psoas Book\, Unraveling Scoliosis CD\, The Psoas & Back Pain CD\, Core Awareness: Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise and Dance\, and Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence.

SUMMARY:Coming To Our Senses  _ Exploring FAILURE
DESCRIPTION:A Kinesthetic Sensory Inquiry\ndiving into words that shape our beliefs \nThe word we will be exploring is \n~ FAILURE ~ \n\n\nBeing sensory aware of cultural constructs of conditioning living in our wild flesh loosens the binds that tie. \nJanice (Ha) Cathey creator of Ha.Le’ Integrative Center and Liz Koch offer this exploration on Failure as a follow-up to the recent conversation Growing a Bio-Dynamic Business \nListen to our conversation on my YouTube \nLINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Ng2PuoXdo&t=94s \nOur intention is to explore our social conditioning and deep fears around what is call FAILURE \nAs the Bio-Dynamic model of business is unique and emerges out of natural ever changing flows in our personal lives where our business reflects our innate choices\, keen priorities\, and deep convictions. This way of doing business is a far cry from the driven\, hierarchical success where beating down the competition or inflating oneself becomes the dominate force.  Instead\, this is a way of life\, a melting of desires ~  a weaving of possibilities. \nSo what then do we determine as failure? \nCOMING TO OUR SENSES  begins with a word – tracking our reaction and assumptions – then moving with that word to  claim our truth. \nGATHERING for this process oriented class may be unrecognizable but if you like to play; you’ve previously joined Coming to Our Senses; or my WILD Discernment class\, participated in the Wise Woman Course\, or Stalking Wild Psoas…then this just might be a place of nourishment for you.

Please bring your own refreshments\, inquiries and curiosity…\nJoin Liz Koch & Janice (Ha) Cathey \n  \nJanice (Ha) Cathey and Liz Koch return to discuss how we have each grown a bio-dynamic business. \nThis model of business is unique and emerges out of natural flowing dynamic principles of success. \nA flourishing of our personal lives where our businesses reflect our innate choices\, keen priorities\, and deep convictions. \nTracking our animal body instincts is primary for deep bone knowing decisions. sniffing out what feeds our soul\, and nourishes our lives to root deeply into community\, family\, the core of being. \nThis way of doing business in a far cry from the driven\, hierarchical success where beating down the competition or inflating oneself becomes the dominate force.  Instead\, this is a way of life\, a melting of desires ~  a weaving of possibilities. \nHa.Le’ was born from a desire to heal: a homecoming to body\, indulging in slow movement\, restoration\, mindful walks\, nature\, and developing a deep relationship with self and others. Integrating holistically\, collaborating as opposed to competing\, and fostering an environment of awakened care. \nGuinea Pig Publications™ and Core Awareness™ unfolded as a passion for changing the language of body revealing itself slowly\, growing down through layers of the dominant cultural perceptions of body and up through direct perception\, meandering awareness and heartfelt longing to become words on pages and explorations in emerging gestures.

SUMMARY:Holding Paradox: Becoming Our Own Collaboration with Jorja Rivero
DESCRIPTION:Holding Paradox: Becoming Our Own\nTHREE MONDAY CLASSES  –  MARCH 11\, 18\, 25 \n10:00 AM – 1:00 PM CENTRAL/Chicago USA \n 8:00 Pacific| 9:00 Mountain | 10:00 Central | 11:00 Eastern \nNOTE THIS COURSE TAKES PLACE DURING DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME CHANGE \nWomen Exploring Together \na moving collaboration with relational therapist\nJorja Rivero LCSW\n\n  \nWhat to Expect \nA combination of rich movement and reflective inquiry\nin the company of other women\nwho share a longing to deepen our center of being. \nT  A S K \ncalling forth courage\nto face ourselves with vulnerable curiosity. \n  and  stop being at odds with ourselves \ndevelop a rooted core\nthat hold us beyond good and bad is the \nP L A Y \nDeveloping this new capacity as a Sweet Holding is the \nP A R A D O X \nNourishing our own from within is a life-long journey\nHere we meet for three sessions\nto inspire and create a supportive container for your own self-discovery. \n  \nInternalized Misogyny is neither Personal\, nor just Happens to us – \nit is an Ancestral and Familiar Conditioning that we too uphold.\nYou know this deep inside when you observe your limiting beliefs and the many frustrating ways you undermine and override your feelings. Desperate to find a solution\, you often feel the urge to hurry up and just feel good. Rather than develop the humble art of listening and nourishing to that which is in pain or in joy in you -to that which is deeply alive. No matter how much you try to convince yourself that life can’t change\, something within keeps calling your attention…\nbut it feels so dangerous because it is. It is dangerous to believe it’s possible \n~ Jorja Rivero \nTo grow our discernment and flourish\, we start by slowing down\, showing up\, and tenderly receiving ourselves wherever we are in each moment. Only then do genuine feelings arise and creative possibilities unfold. \nReferred to by Daoist Healers as The Muscle of the Soul\, the core tissue of our physical body\, Psoas\, lives deep within the center of our being and is akin to our unique gifts. Often sensed as frozen or sedated this tissue alerts us to how we have been cut off from innate wisdom. \nRooting into Core Integrity requires that we sense our own being as well as the container that has shaped us. Only then do we begin attuning to a different way of being. Our birthright and capacity to feel and receive the sensorial language of Earth’s pleasures goes hand in hand with honoring our True Self. \n  \n \nJorja Rivero\, LCSW is a bilingual  Relational Life Therapist in practice in NYC and available Online. Working since 2003 and in Private Practice since 2008\, Jorja has a Masters in Social Work from NYU\, Clinical Training in Gestalt Psychotherapy\, and certification as a Relational Life Therapist. She taught yoga for many years and continues to teach guided meditation inspired from the practices she trained in. Jorja works individually with clients\, does couple’s work\, group work\, and offers workshops. \n  \nCONVERSATION: Available at Liz Koch YouTube Rejuvenating Our Inner Knowing As Women\nAuthor of  The Psoas Book\, Core Awareness\, and Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Our Core Intelligence\, Liz Koch invites  Jorja to traverse the terrain of “internalized misogyny” as it tethers women to Being Too Much\, or not enough. How do these stories live within our flesh\, blood\, and bones? And how does the colonized top-down mandate shrink our worth and our capacity to flourish? \nRecognizing that although WOMAN is a force of nature and the portal of all human life\, she carries a legacy of profound dissatisfaction. How can we awaken to the self-sabotaging internalized patriarchal constructs that literally live in our Soma? What can rejuvenate our inner knowing? Reflecting on our basic goodness and the innate goodness of life on Earth we discuss how nourishing our capacity moves us fully into our dynamic relational being.
