Introduction to the Psoas: The Bipedal Dilemma
May 9, 2015 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The iliopsoas connects the spine to the legs, and as our main hip flexors, they are needed for walking, running, and more. We need a strong psoas to leap and jump, but as bipeds, we also need a long psoas to avoid back problems, for healthy function of the internal organs, and to maintain a calm and clear state of mind and heart.
The psoas muscles are our main flight-flight muscles, but as such, harbor trauma, early childhood, safety, and sexuality issues. Runners, dancers, cyclists, those with swayed low backs, and those who struggle with Supta Virasana may have particularly tight psoas muscles.
Let’s explore how we can apply asana to become stronger and longer, more conscious of these important muscles and increase balance, health, and vitality.
