Embodiment of the Psoas is about waking the senses in your body. Drawing is the sense of touch. Drawing will teach us about the structures of the iliopsoas in our torso. Our mapping the Psoas will teach us about the space the iliopsoas has in our body. The movement class using pilates will explore the connections of the Psoas and the feelings of good healthy function.

All are welcome. No experience is necessary in drawing.

1 1/2 hr drawing and mapping the Psoas

Anatomy Dances : Upper body in Gait
How the spine moves in gait

Level I -
Anatomy Dances : Lower body in Gait
How the legs move in gait

We take walking for granted.  When we lose the ability to walk comfortably, we lose our freedom to do things.  Poor posture, lack of strength and mobility and diminishing balance skills affect our gait.  This workshop is an introduction to how the body moves in gait and how as trainers we can plan a workout that encourages better walking skills.

Learning how to observe how the upper body in gait is a skill.  Using each other and videos of clients walking, we are going to practice how to see the spine moves in walking.   Strategies will be explored when a client’s spine is not moving correctly.  We will also address certain injuries that affect the spine in gait.
