the Psoas

Anatomy & Practice

9-noon, $60

In this workshop we will look at the musculoskeletal system, basic prime movers and antagonists in healthy sitting, standing, walking and resting. We will explore a series of asana in which we will apply experiential study of the psoas major and the iliopsoas. We will develop an under- standing of agonists, synergists and stabilizers to improve tone, flexibility and balance on and off the mat. When we take time to study anatomy/kinesiology in applied practice, svadhyaya (self-study) is cultivated, asana practice is strengthened and clarity of perception in action and non-action is enhanced. We will complement this pro-active asana session with a quiet, deep restorative practice to further release the psoas and let it float in no gravity field. Also an opportunity to regenerate the cells and balance the doshas. Music and poetry may be present as well!

All levels of participants are welcome.

RECORDINGS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE NOT ATTENDING LIVE.
