Welcome to the 15th episode of the Back to Human podcast.
On this episode I am joined by the Queen of Psoas! Liz Koch joins me to discuss what is commonly referred to as the muscle of the soul, the psoas. Liz is an international teacher with 43 years of experience working with the psoas. She is the creator of Core Awareness and is the author of “The Psoas Book” and “Stalking Wild Psoas”. This was a very fun conversation for me and I honestly had a bit of difficulty coming up with just the right questions for this one because there is so much to be explored here!
Among some of the topics we discuss on this podcast are:
• How Liz got started with her research of the psoas.
• The psoas is way more than just a muscle! It is an intelligent messenger and the center of our being.
• Has modern day footwear knocked us off-center?
• Should the psoas be released through manual manipulation or devices like the pso-rite?
• The relationship between the psoas, diaphragm and breathing.
• Stepping away from the mechanical model and objectification of the human body.
• What is constructive rest position (CRP)?
• How can we hydrate a “dry” psoas?
• Play!
I highly recommend checking out Liz’s online workshops as well as her books which can be found at https://coreawareness.com/ Thank you for listening to show!
