Psoas: The Muscle of Connection and the Soul

The psoas is also called the muscle of the soul because it is deeply connected to our inner feelings and our survival mechanisms.

I was fortunate enough to take several courses with Liz Koch. During the first course, she touched my heart; my innermost being was deeply moved. Every chord of sensitivity could finally let its music resonate, including the whining of the past. Old memories, deeply buried and which I thought had been processed, surfaced. It was as if more than 40 years of stored emotions implosively erupted, crying out to be shared and healed.

Liz’s wisdom and authenticity, combined with her personal journey, opened the path to awareness and insight into the psoas for me. Discovering, unraveling, and developing my inner world has been an ongoing process ever since.

From athletic movement to conscious movement, then to the origin of movement, and finally to being in movement: this journey has given me valuable tools for healing and sharing. Our body’s innate healing capacity invites us to discover and deepen our core consciousness. This begins with exploring the psoas to find our way within.

Stress and the Psoas

In our current society, stress often leads to chronic tension, for example, due to work pressure or relationship problems. This can leave us feeling unsafe or anxious deep inside. The psoas, at the center of our body, responds strongly to this “fight-or-flight” response.

Normally, the psoas is a massive muscle of about 40 centimeters. Chronic stress can shorten this muscle by up to 10 centimeters. Furthermore, prolonged, passive sitting contributes to a shortened psoas. A shortened psoas causes dysfunction throughout the body: your hips become locked, and the psoas locks up.

Unlocking the Psoas

It is important to unlock the psoas to prevent or reduce physical complaints. A locked psoas can lead to:

• Lower back pain
• SI joint discomfort
• Sciatica Scoliosis
• Menstrual problems
• infertility Digestive problems

The psoas is often overlooked in these complaints. When doctors cannot find a clear cause, it is often called idiopathic: symptoms are present, but the cause remains unknown.

On my path of discovering and unlocking the psoas, I would like to join you on that path
