CORE OF CONNECTION: AN 8 WEEK PSOAS TRAINING
The Psoas muscle is more than just anatomy- it's the deep connector between the front and back body, the root of how we move, breathe, and align. This 8 - week training takes you on a progressive journey to understand, embody, and strengthen the psoas as both a physical and energetic center.
Through Pilates matwork, somatic awareness practices, and subtle body cueing, you'll re-pattern movement from the inside out. Each week builds on the last, guiding you to release holding patterns, awaken core strength, and find new pathways of connection throughout the body.
Designed for movement professionals seeking enrichment and dedicated movers ready to go deeper, this program offeres a rare blend of technical precision and holistic integration. By the end of 8 weeks, you'll not only feel stronger, but you'll carry a new embodied understanding of the psoas as a true core of connection in your practice and/or in your teaching.
