The psoas muscle—arguably the most important muscle in the body—plays a pivotal role in physical and emotional wellbeing, yet it is one of the most overlooked muscles. This deep-seated muscle connects the upper and lower body, influencing posture, breath, and overall stability. But beyond the physical “fight-or-flight” muscle, the psoas is also a reservoir for unprocessed stress and tension, impacting our mental and emotional state.
Join Kari, a renowned yoga therapist and anatomy teacher trainer, for an in-depth exploration of the psoas in this. interactive workshop designed to deepen your understanding and connection with this powerful core muscle. You will:
- Discover the anatomy, function, and energetic importance of the psoas.
