UNLOCK YOUR PSOAS

Introduction to the Workshop: Unlock Your Psoas

​

Welcome to Unlock Your Psoas, a workshop dedicated to freeing one of the most important yet often overlooked muscles in your body: the iliopsoas. This deep-seated muscle group connects your lower back to your legs, playing a vital role in posture, movement, and overall well-being.

​

The iliopsoas is more than just a physical connector. It is a "spiritual muscle" deeply linked to the energy centers of your body, particularly the lower three chakras. These chakras influence how we feel grounded, secure, and connected to our inner strength and creativity.

Why is the Iliopsoas Important?

​

The iliopsoas is a powerful connector. It supports your lower back, stabilizes your pelvis, and allows smooth movement between your upper and lower body. However, due to modern lifestyles—prolonged sitting, stress, and lack of movement—it can easily become tight or "closed."

​

Implications of a Tight or Closed Iliopsoas:

• Lower Back Pain: A tight iliopsoas pulls on the spine, leading to discomfort and misalignment.

• Postural Issues: Poor posture arises when this muscle shortens, tipping the pelvis forward or creating imbalances.

• Emotional Tension: The iliopsoas is deeply connected to our fight-or-flight response. When it's tight, it can hold onto stress and anxiety.

• Restricted Mobility: Movement feels less fluid, and activities like walking, running, or bending become strained.

• ​

Benefits of an Open and Free Iliopsoas:

• Improved Posture: Your spine aligns naturally, and your body feels balanced.

• Enhanced Mobility: Movement becomes effortless, allowing you to fully enjoy physical activities.

• Release of Tension: Emotional and physical stress stored in the iliopsoas dissipates, promoting a sense of freedom.

• Core Strength: An open psoas supports a stronger core, enhancing overall stability and energy flow.

• ​

In this workshop, we’ll use carefully designed yoga asanas and pranayama techniques to release, stretch, and unlock your iliopsoas. By the end of the session, you’ll feel lighter, more flexible, and more at ease in your body and mind.

Let’s embark on this journey to unlock your psoas and unlock your potential!
