Unravelling The Psoas

"So this is where I think of the psoas as a core muscle or as part of the core. It's not so much part of the core, you know like I think of the transfer sabs, the pelvic floor, and the rectus abs and obliques. I don't think of it like that, but it's part of this fascial core because remember the psoas is definitely a mover." - Katie Crane

Welcome to The Pilates Lounge, I'm Katie Crane, your guide on today's exploration into the fascinating realm of the psoas muscle.

Join me as we delve deep into the core of our being, unraveling the mysteries surrounding the psoas and its profound impact on our physical and emotional health. From understanding its anatomy to uncovering its connection to stress, hip pain, and beyond, we'll leave no stone unturned.

Through immersive storytelling and expert insights, we'll uncover the secrets to nurturing and strengthening our psoas. From breath work techniques to targeted stretches, you'll gain practical tools to cultivate a resilient and responsive core.

But our journey doesn't end there. We'll also delve into the psoas's role in our body's fight or flight responses, exploring its link to the polyvagal theory and offering a holistic perspective on wellness and movement.

So, if you're ready to deepen your understanding and elevate your practice, join me in The Pilates Lounge as we embark on this transformative exploration of the psoas muscle and its profound significance in our lives.

Don't forget to check out my website thepilatesprofessional.com.au for workshops and my six-month reformer teacher training mentor program. I believe that reformer training is a crucial missing link in our industry, and I'm here to provide comprehensive and recognized training for aspiring reformer instructors.
