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.
