This mysterious muscle group, the Iliopsoas, plays such a substantial role in the dancing and moving body. This three class series will dive deep into the inner workings of the psoas with release techniques, breath work, strengthening, and provide anatomical real-life applications.
HERE ARE SOME FACTS:
- Psoas strength is essential for bringing the leg above 90 degrees!
- It is the only muscle in the body that connects the legs to the spine, which is why it is one of your deepest core muscles.
- Breath plays a vital role in the function of the psoas because of its connection to the diaphragm
- This “muscle of the soul” is closely linked with your fight or flight response, and holds past trauma
- It is common for dancers to have weak and tight psoas, but stretching is not always the answer
We will take time to understand the Psoas complex, and more deeply, your own.
