🍑HIPS DON’T LIE

Learn about hip stability, hip anatomy, and release - This 2-hour workshop includes 60 min hip focus practice. $49

The psoas is a very important yet mysterious muscle in our body that is often lumped together with other hip flexor muscles and referred to as the iliopsoas, the psoas is involved in so much more!

We have two psoas muscles, one on each side and they help us to stabilize our spine during movement and are also intimately linked with our fight or flight or freeze response.

They can play a role in pelvic floor dysfunction, core weakness, back, hip or pelvic pain, posture, digestion, flexibility, childbirth, adrenal health, menstrual cramps, and the list goes on. Emotions, stress, fear, trauma, sitting most of the day, and certain sports can all contribute to the pattern the psoas muscles hold in the body.

Referred to as The Messenger of the Midline, because how the psoas can compensate for so many other parts of the body and can communicate, through a pattern of holding tension, when there is a weakness in some other part of the body.

Everyone can benefit from learning more about how to nourish their psoas!

We will work with the hip flexor muscles, as well as the hip extension muscles (glutes and hamstrings). We will also work to release and strengthen many of the other hip muscles to create balance and stability through the hips/pelvis.

We will be moving a lot!

Including both strength work and subtle movements that require you to be very mindful so that you can tune right into what different parts of your body are doing.
