SUMMARY:Soulful Psoas ~ A Language of Knowing 
DESCRIPTION:Powerful soul-full stories emanate from the Psoas centered deep within a person’s core.\nThe psoas is always ready to reveal its mystery to anyone willing and capable of bearing witness to the truth. \nPresented May 2021. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n \n  \nWhat mysteries the Psoas unfolds to those willing listeners! \nThe psoas speaks of the very heart of our existence as human beings.\nOur journey thus far and the profound longing each and every one of us feels through our journey. The story of our earthly existence.  \n \nFor more than 40 years I’ve held space for the psoas to tell its tale. I’ve named the psoas the messenger of the midline not simply because of its physical location (emerging directly from the center axis of the human core) but also because of its power within each of us. Profound and sensitive\, the Psoas never lies.  This bio-intelligent tissue resonates the truth as it is right now. Like the precious new born or a wizened sage\, our Psoas is a messenger asking nothing of us but to hear and respond to the moment. \nI’ve had the privilege of listening to personal stories while sitting with another person’s psoas. Stories that if I am willing to hear help to reveal the inner life with all its vulnerabilities\, insights\, and deep felt emotions. By sharing these stories with you the reader\, I hope to offer the practitioner a window into the felt sensed\, unresolved dynamic found within the human core. Each story offers the practitioner and educator not only insight but also challenges our creative ability to truly help another person. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Embodied Yoga Summit ~ Juicy Psoas
DESCRIPTION:Join me Sunday April 25th \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nJ U I C Y   P S O A S \n\n\n\n\n\nRe~Wilding Core Expression \nAt the very core of our being is a river of bio-intelligence and a primal tissue called psoas that flows out as a messenger of agency and core integrity. By striving for control\, perfection\, and superiority over our core expression\, our psoas becomes captured and recruited resulting not only in exhaustion but also a constricted\, dry tissue. Rewilding psoas is a journey of dissolving our willful engagement of the upper psoas in order to embody our bones by returning once again to root deep within and back down to the ground. \nIn this session\, you will: \n\n\nRe-imagine Psoas beyond bio-mechanical language to sense the core tissue as a bio-intelligent messenger \n\n\nExperience the value of micro-movements to hydrate spinal vertebrae and connective tissue for gaining lush juicy psoas \n\n\nDiscover how skeletal proprioception supports neuro-coherency ground fluid psoas and ignite core integrity. \n\n\n\n\n\n5am PDT (Los Angeles) / 8am EDT (New York) / 1pm GMT (London) / 2pm CET (Paris) / 10pm AEST (Sydney)

SUMMARY:Valuing Constructive Rest through Reciprocity
DESCRIPTION:“Sometimes I wish I could photosynthesize so that just by being\,\njust by shimmering at the meadow’s edge or floating lazily on a pond\,\nI could be doing the work of the world while standing silent in the sun.” \n― Robin Wall Kimmerer \nPresented April 2021. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below.\n\n \n  \nToday is Earth Day and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than landing and locating.  Feeling the ground under my body\, sinking into the land I belong to\, and thanking her for all her support and nourishment.  Asking her what she needs this moment\, how best may I show her my love and appreciation. She (like all women) does not need fixing ~ she needs to be seen\, cherished ~ she needs love and gratitude…the rest will come… \nTo land is to awaken my responsibility and my longing for reciprocity \n  \n  \nPOEM SOURCE: Robin Wall Kimmerer is the author of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge\, and the Teachings of Plants \n

SUMMARY:FLUID CORE: Psoas\, Connective Tissue and BONES with Sue Hitzmann
DESCRIPTION:Fluid Core \nPsoas\nConnective Tissue \nand \nBONES  \na collaboration with  \nSue Hitzmann \nPresented April 2021. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \nJoin our conversation and discover the \nBONE\nPSOAS\nConnection \nand why\nConnective Tissue is key to resiliency and health\nBones\n         Talk\nto our Brain\n&\nto the\nEarth  \n“The human skeleton and our bones are often times considered mere spacers \nand the stuff fascia connects to as a way to leverage force and motion. \nBut it turns out bones may play a significant role in not only our memory and mood \nbut may assist us in preventing anxiety and depression.” \n\n\n\n\nDiscover the role fascia plays in supporting over all health!\nTransporting nutrients and fluids throughout our body\, helping defend our body from microorganism\,\nthe bone-fascia network plays a role in both our immune system and nervous system \n\n\n\n\nMeet My Guest: \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 M.E.L.T. Method® (MELT). A revolutionary approach to pain-free fitness and longevity\, Melt Method is a self help technique for working with the connective tissue. 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. \n\n\n\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)

SUMMARY:FLUID CORE ~ Feeling Lost on the Way to Core Integrity (2-hr zoom)
DESCRIPTION:F L U I D  C O R E \nFeeling Lost on the Way to Core Integrity  \nPresented March 2021. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          \n\n\n\nFeeling lost she does not know how to proceed.\nI sense a mix of emotions within her – as if something inside simply has to give.\nAlthough she is beginning to recognize her vulnerability\, the feeling is unfamiliar and\, truthfully\, quite terrifying to her. \n\n\n\nStalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe sense of feeling lost within a somatic inquiry can easily evoke looking outward for answers…but it is by getting lost that our sensory system awakens and new capabilities open up that foster innovating responses. We discover our knowing that which is invisible begins to unfold… Catching a fleeting glimpse\, detecting a movement at the perimeter of awareness\, there may be a new sense that something is not yet acknowledged\, or feels lost\, and yet is on the cutting edge of consciousness. Perhaps this is what hunting or being hunted feels like in the wild kingdom. Quick moving\, it can be too difficult to catch an impulse that sets our being into reaction: a desire to jump and escape as well as a longing to connect and be found. Following initiation of an expression requires a patient slowing of pace and a quieting receptivity in the heart to perceive the impulse just before it comes into being. It takes a bifurcating focus of awareness that moves inward and concurrently outward toward a larger field of influence. In this way\, we can stay present to feel the origins of our fear and the impulses of our longing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiz Koch  is an international educator\, author\, and creator of CoreAwareness™ focusing on awareness as key for developing human potential and awakening consciousness. With 45 years experience specializing in the human core\, Liz is recognized in the somatic\, bodywork\, and fitness professions as an authority on the core tissue called the Psoas.  Both nationally and internationally published\, her works include The Psoas Book\, Unraveling Scoliosis CD\, Core Awareness; Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise & Dance\, Psoas & Back Pain CD\, Mother\, Maiden\, Crone: Our Pleasure Playlist and her new book  Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence (2019 North Atlantic Books) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto Credit: Patrick Mueller/unsplash

SUMMARY:FUNDAMENTALS: Happy Feet ~ Happy Psoas (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:FUNDAMENTALS \nHappy Feet ~ Happy Psoas \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith its insistence on streamlining linear thinking\, the dominant power structure of western society\nbegins to loosen its grip\, opening up a multidimensional world where we can think not only on our feet but also with our feet.\nStalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence\n \nPresented March 2021. The video recording available by purchasing a ticket below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrounded through the feet supports a weight-bearing pelvis which offers the spine a rooted base of support\nas well as a profound relationship with the Earth. \n \nWhen bones in the feet and ankle are restricted\, the relationship between ground and space becomes challenged. For example\, putting a rigid shoe on a baby’s foot prevents the foot from freely rolling\, limiting the joint articulation and interrupting a resilient stride. This sets up a conditioned pattern of movement. Over time limited movement in toes and binding around the ankle limits articulation of the ankle joint essential for weight distribution along with the lack of movement in vital proprioception necessary for orientation.  A shoe with a negative heel (lower in the back than the front) for example shifts the skeletal weight back into a static position\, demanding an inappropriate muscular effort to move forward and stifling core psoas. When shoes worn continuously attempt to create an ideal shape or action they impose upon both muscles and bones\, causing imbalances throughout our body. Let’s take our shoes off and begin to awaken our feet. \nWe will spend time exploring the feet and their direct relationship with Core Expression\, Balance\, and all the Diaphragms so essential to our sense of buoyancy (ground force reaction) spacial freedom of our connective tissue and healthy energetic flow of our  meridians.

SUMMARY:Race & Body: Dissolving Whiteness in Core Expression ~ A Collaboration with Kimberly Ann Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Race & Body \nDissolving Whiteness in Core Expression \nA Workshop for “White” Women \n \n  \nphoto credit Allyssa Olaviar (unsplash) \nHow does primal expression change our perception and our response to ourselves\, and others\, specifically as it applies to race?  \nHow do we work with our responses to being in the category of “white women” \nand what does it means to be an individual within the group? \nHow can we learn to track individual truths and structural truths within our animal bodies? \nOur wild animal bodies are capable of sensing and moving deeply and in so doing we become conscious of the insidious ways colonization is held and communicated within our flesh and bone. We may squirm and distract ourselves\, but we have what it takes to dissolve these century-old impulses to cage\, control\, and power over  ~ to reclaim our inner Wild and to foster an antiracist culture.  \nWhat “white” posturing and performative expression share in common is a compartmentalization of body splitting us from our felt-sense emotions\, gut instincts\, and essential vitality. This power-over response built in to the Western approach shows up in yoga\, Pilates\, dance\, and fitness.  The idealized white body becomes the standard for which all other bodies are measured. Yet this column of strength is often a “frozen” spine limiting our potential and our capacity for coherent expression.   \n \nPhoto credit: Clem Onojeghuo-unsplash \n By using bio-intelligent fluid movements and sound\, we venture into disassociated responses\, and feelings of fragility to recognize the ancestral rigidity defended within “white-posturing.” Following these primal impulses dissolves distortions while nourishing life-enhancing gestures and expressions. Through insight\, journaling\, and tracking we attend to our authentic self\, discovering different responses than those Western Culture provide for us.  Claiming agency we can participate in co-creating and re-imagining ourselves and our values in the context of race\, justice\, and equity.     \nWe will attend to the questions: \nWhen\, how\, and why do I control myself? \nHow do I move if I am not told what to do? \n  \n \nKimberly Ann Johnson is the author of the  The Fourth Trimester. and her soon to be release Call Of The Wild (due out in April 2021). She is a Sexological Bodyworker\, Somatic Experiencing trauma resolution practitioner\, birth doula\, 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. A lifelong yoga student and teacher\, Kimberly has lead workshops throughout Thailand\, Malaysia\, Brazil\, Portugal and the US on the intersection of women’s sexuality and spirituality. After living in Brazil for eight years\, she currently resides in San Diego\, CA and teaches Activating Your Inner Jaguar courses online.  \n  \n  \nLiz Koch  is an international educator\, author\, mother\, crone\, and creator of CoreAwareness™ focusing on awareness as key for developing human potential and awakening consciousness. With 45 years experience specializing in the human core\, Liz is recognized in the somatic\, bodywork\, and fitness professions as an authority on the core tissue called Psoas.  Both nationally and internationally published\, her works include The Psoas Book\, Unraveling Scoliosis CD\, Core Awareness; Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise & Dance\, Psoas & Back Pain CD; Mother\, Maiden\, Crone: Our Pleasure Playlist and her most recent release (2019) Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Changing the Language of Body ~ ReWilding Your Psoas
DESCRIPTION:Stalking Wild Psoas \nEmbodying Your Core Intelligence  \nPresented February 2021. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \nEssay Nine \n\n\n\nReWilding Your Psoas \n\n\n\nHow Play Impulses Help us Thrive \n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Conceptual Shift Made Potent Through Movement \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRe-wilding ignites unexpected acts of awakening. Redundancy\, whether in our personal life or in our work environment\, happens when expressions become defined and limited. To avoid redundancy\, living systems move inward toward depth perception and outward toward dynamic expression and realtiomship. As biological organisms\, our being-bodies are part of a much larger system that requires regenerative rather than degenerative practices. By consciously participating and contributing to overall sustainability within our own system\, other beings are stirred to thrive. Because our inquisitiveness is a vital source of nourishment\, following our play instincts and honing our somatic impulses is imperative in order to not only survive but also to thrive.

SUMMARY:Fluid Core ~ Metabolizing Fear
DESCRIPTION:Whether recoiling in fear or arcing in deep defense\, the psoas is at best referred to as an “emotional” muscle. \nPresented February 2021. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n \n  \n\n\n\nSignaling survival responses\, this primal messenger relays disruptions and compensations that threaten core integrity. Just as every coherent animal in the wild kingdom sends messages\, humans\, like all mammals\, gesture with the twitch of an ear\, a gleam in the eye\, a hair standing on end\, an arc of the spine. Ignoring the wild nature of psoas can be very dangerous. \n\n\n\nExploring biological expressions of core or what I have coined “stalking wilding psoas\,” awakens a longing for a language akin to our actual somatic lived-experience.  Psoas behaves quite differently than any other tissue that traditional anatomy defines as muscle. More of an organ of perception\, something more akin to our clever tongue\, this primitive tissue signals whether or not we are out of sync with the earth’s gravitational field. Encoded with survival responses that instantaneously ignite a response of danger\, psoas is subtle and nuanced. Our psoas expresses both fear (survival) and pleasure (thriving). Psoas speaks not only to dissociative behaviors resulting from birth but also to an array of other adaptive strategies that can interrupt coherency and direct knowing. \nLearning how to metabolize fear is a process of nourishing our psoas that deepens our connection to earth and community where we find the ability and support to regulate and be deeply held. \n \n

SUMMARY:Changing The Language Of Body ~ Movement As Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Stalking Wild Psoas \nEmbodying Your Core Intelligence  \nEssay Eight \n\n\n\nMOVEMENT AS MEDICINE \nPresented 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n\n\n\nWe are an extension of a planetary process – moving medicine is our birthright \n~ Emilie Conrad ~ \n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Conceptual Shift Made Potent Through Movement \n\n\n\n\n\nEssay Eight\, Movement as Medicine\, is a tribute to the legacy of Emilie Conrad\nand her contribution to my understanding of body as process. \n  \nEngaging movement as medicine\, Emilie Conrad pioneered a somatic inquiry into the power of the fluid system and its capacity for recapitulating neuro-sensory information in order to regain healthy tissue\, specifically within spinal cords severely damaged by injury. By discovering how activating fluid through sound vibration and micro-movement changes the quality and adaptability of tissue\, Conrad’s sphere of influence and her specific approach reframes concepts of health and consciousness\, including how paralysis is perceived. Conrad was certain that the only thing actually paralyzed is our own process of thinking. \nDecolonizing our static\, mechanistic perspective of body is not only a cognitive process requiring the re-evaluation of language\, assumptions\, and intentions but also a sensory process requiring a shift in our awareness toward subtle impressions that evoke new experiences of self. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Changing The Language of Body ~ Becoming Integral
DESCRIPTION:Stalking Wild Psoas \nEmbodying Your Core Intelligence  \nEssay Seven \n\n\n\nBECOMING INTEGRAL \nboundaries\, edges and thresholds \nPresented 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n\n\n\nA Conceptual Shift Made Potent Through Movement \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nPsoas reveals the truth about our relationship with the earth…. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy exploring my internal edges\, I have found the sensory system capable of multiple levels of articulation. My intention quite literally defines where I place my attention and therefore directly influences my experience. Sensing the edges of a boundary\, such as the shape of a bone or the parameter of a joint\, can help to clarify and contain experience.\nPermeable edges\, such as those exemplified in psoas or skin\, conversely\, are liminal spaces that encompass otherness\, providing transitional openings into a world of reciprocal relationship. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSkin is an organ of perception that expresses our embryological story\, revealing ancestral patterns as well as pre-and-perinatal stresses\, shocks\, and exposures to physical and emotional toxins at the moment of conception\, throughout fetal growth\, and during the journey from our mother’s womb to this world. Turning toward my relationship with my skin\, I began to explore a variety of ways of awakening what felt like a lifeless sack. Inspired by micro-movements and the power of soft puffing “o” sounds\, I begin to explore the internal and external edges and thresholds of my being \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:FUNDAMENTALS: Low Back Pain & The Psoas Connection
DESCRIPTION:FUNDAMENTALS \nLow Back Pain & The PSOAS Connection \nPresented November 2020. The video recording available by purchasing a ticket below. \n \n\n\n\nDISCOVER SIMPLE WAY TO: Resolve low back pain ~~~ \nRather than being caused by muscular weakness\, low back pain is often due to exhaustion. Gaining core strength begins with softening the deepest layers of tissue\, specifically the psoas. Doing so increases the capacity for reestablishing skeletal and muscular integrity. Symptoms associated with an unstable pelvis include mid-and low-back pain… inability to stand and bear weight on both feet as well as popping and cracking noises\, pain\, and stiffness all signal some type of disruption and instability which can lead to back pain. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe earliest rudimentary vertebrae is found in the sea squirt\, a 550-million-year-old prevertebral organism. This oceanic creature suggests that the optimal conditions for bringing an injured\, exhausted\, lack-lustered spine back to life as well as for sustaining healthy bone is through regaining fluid movement…Our longing becomes that which shapes our being and our creative gestures as well as our curious contributions. When our core longing is lost or withers\, what appears is often anguish and pain. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence

SUMMARY:W I L D ~ Discerning Within:  A Collaboration with Kimberly Ann Johnson
DESCRIPTION:w i l d \nd i s c e r n m e n t \nDiscerning Within \nWild  ~ Feral ~ Savage ~ Fawning \nA Moving Collaboration between Liz Koch and Kimberly Johnson \nPresented November 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \nSomeone once told me that civilization is the shared obliviousness to the fact that we haven’t gotten rid of wild things\, and that they dwell “within” us—somewhere beneath the threshold of normalcy. This wildness\, this darkness\, is not an “other.” We are continually sourced\, recreated\, and reconfigured here. \nBayo Akomolafe Finding the Dark: Decolonizing Darkness \n \nAlthough the dictionary 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 such antonyms as domesticated\, indifferent\, and unenthusiastic. By listening to our deep primal messages\, we reclaim our birthright as expressive\, dynamic\, and innovative beings. As we turn toward the core\, nourishing gestures\, similar to a blossoming flower\, feel lush within and enrich all who witness the splendor. Sustaining every gesture\, our wild psoas speaks the language of the heart\, and communicates what is held most dear within our bone – the felt-sense of being alive. \nSignaling survival responses\, this primal messenger relays disruptions and compensations that threaten our core integrity. Just as every coherent animal in the wild kingdom sends messages\, humans\, like all mammals\, gesture with the twitch of an ear\, a gleam in the eye\, a hair standing on end\, an arc of the spine. Ignoring the wild nature of psoas can be very dangerous.   \n(excerpted from Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence) \nHow do we know the difference between wild and ravenous? What happens when our inner wild woman is savage?  Can we be feral and live among each other? What happens when we can not discern our inner wild? What if our inner wild woman is muted or silent?  What if fawning is our first wild impulse?    Join the conversation and the movement…. \nKimberly Ann Johnson is the author of the  The Fourth Trimester. and her soon to be release Call Of The Wild (due out in April 2021). She is a Certified Sexological bodyworker and Somatic Experiencing practitioner specializing in birth injury\, birth trauma\, and sexual healing. A lifelong yoga student and teacher\, Kimberly has lead workshops throughout Thailand\, Malaysia\, Brazil\, Portugal and the US on the intersection of women’s sexuality and spirituality\, . After living in Brazil for eight years\, she now resides in San Diego\, CA and teaches Activating Your Inner Jaguar courses online. \n  \n \nLiz Koch  is an international educator\, author\, mother\, crone\, and creator of CoreAwareness™ focusing on awareness as key for developing human potential and awakening consciousness. With 40 years experience specializing in the human core\, Liz is recognized in the somatic\, bodywork\, and fitness professions as an authority on the core tissue called Psoas.  Both nationally and internationally published\, her works include The Psoas Book\, Unraveling Scoliosis CD\, Core Awareness; Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise & Dance\, Psoas & Back Pain CD\, Mother\, Maiden\, Crone: Our Pleasure Playlist and her latest book Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence.\n \n

SUMMARY:Changing The Language of Body ~ Participating With Your Organizing Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Stalking Wild Psoas \nEmbodying Your Core Intelligence  \nEssay Six \n\n\n\nLanding & Locating \nPresented 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \nParticipating With Your Organizing Intelligence \n\n\n\nA Conceptual Shift Made Potent Through Movement \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPsoas reveals the truth about our relationship with the earth…. \n\n\n\nOur arrival as newborns is a landing felt deep in our bone which continues to shape our flourishing gestures. Like a tuning fork produces a pure tone\, psoas is in resonance with the wisdom of our bone\, vibrating the very essence of life and putting a bounce in our step. Bone offers a lightness of being – a calling from the living earth. In contrast\, muscles are all about doing: fetching water and carrying wood. Marrow at the very center of bone nourishes the brain and spinal cord. To land in the marrow of our bones is to feel the essence of soul. Symbolic of the eternal in both myth and story\, bone is associated with what is lasting and most significant: blood\, power\, and embodiment. When something is felt deep in the bone\, it has landed and will stay with us forever. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe word “landing” is a term I use for feeling grounded and able to locate in space and time. Found within our bones\, the sense of landing is an essential kinetic ignition we share with all mammals. Any disruption confusing our ability to land and locate in time and space is signaled as fear by our primal psoas. As a bio-intelligent messenger\, psoas tracks safety\, every moment of every day. \n\n\n\nListening to and understanding what psoas communicates takes time to develop. If we are connected to ground and can feel the earth’s rhythms\, we are more readily available to be responsive and adaptive to subtle changes But if there is shock still reverberating there will be discord and disorientation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Online-Audio Psoas Course | Fall/Winter 2020
DESCRIPTION:Psoas Audio-Course Begins October 28th \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 Wednesdays\, 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.

SUMMARY:FUNDAMENTALS: Jaw & Pelvic Connection (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:FUNDAMENTALS \nJaw & Pelvic Connection \nPresented October 2020. The video recording available by purchasing a ticket below. \n \n  \n\n\n\nHip socket pain\, sacral dysfunction\, and low back issues often find resolution in the Jaw/Pelvic Connection.\nThe jaw and pelvis\, reflect one another\, and when disrupted can cause our psoas to message disharmony whether that originates from injury\, anger\, frustration\, willfulness\, scar tissue\, poor ergonomics or dental issues. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThinking and languaging spine as separate thoracic\, lumbar\, and cervical parts that move independently diminish the power of our core. From one end to the other\, all core movement is an expression of wholeness. Like a fish\, or for that matter a caterpillar\, our head to our tail moves as one. Stabilizing one end of the caterpillar by pressing down your finger only makes the other end of the caterpillar flail. The same is true for the head and pelvis. When one end of the spine is over stabilized (or unstable)\, the other end will become disorganized.\nTo either end\, our psoas messages all core disruptions.\nBy returning core to its fluid primal origins\, compensatory behaviors involving psoas often find resolution. \nStalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence
