As a therapist you need to have a psycho-physical leverage point from which to positively affect the whole person. The iliopsoas and its surrounding muscles and fascia play such a foundational role in the physical and energetic life of our clients.
The iliopsoas muscle connects the deepest aspect of the musculoskeletal system with the deepest energy flows. It is the only muscle which thoroughly connects the spine and the lower body. It is the home of the lumbar plexus that enlivens the entire lower body. It is the strongest flexor of the hip. From an Oriental standpoint, it is muscular locus of the hara or tan tien.
This workshop will give you the ability to provide the deepest of physical and psychological benefits to your clients:
· Relieve lower back pain connected with tension in the core musculature
· Address anterior tilt of the pelvis
· Deeply relax the belly and facilitate diaphragmatic breathing
· Promote centering
· Amplify a sense of postural and energetic buoyancy
· Create ease in every forward step
· Learn how to contact energy and structure simultaneously
· Learn how to work deep without working hard
