The Opinionated Psoas The psoas muscle has long been recognized as central to our posture and movement, and a source of back and hip pain. Yet the muscle is so deep, and involved in so much of our movement, including the breath, that there are a number of ideas, theories, and opinions about exactly what it is that the psoas ‘does’ — beyond its two most obvious functions. – What are the effects of a tight psoas? How do we ‘release’ the psoas? Why is there more involved than just stretching? In this two-part webinar, Doug will, in the first part, explain and illustrate the psoas and the main ideas about it, and sort out the lessons we can take into our yoga practice. We’ll come to understand the variety of problems created by a ‘tight’ psoas, and how nearly all of the asanas of yoga address the psoas in different ways — with a few of the main postures being the key. This will give us principles for practice. The second part of the webinar will be a live, guided practice that puts these principles into use — and will also touch on related issues such as properly and effectively stretching the quadriceps and other related muscles of the hip and low back And there will be special emphasis on how we can practice the asanas more deeply, effectively, and beneficially when we include awareness of the psoas in asana and breath. We invite you to join us for this transformative experience of yoga! – The practice is open for all-levels.
