Core Awareness
Summary: Your Psoas Muscle is key to optimal health and emotional well-being. Gaining a healthy, functional psoas will improve your agility, resiliency, strength and core power. Found deep within the belly core, this primal muscle is also part of your survival response and reflects your sense of inner safety or danger. International somatic educator, and creator of Core Awareness Liz Koch develops human potential by becoming consciously aware of this bio-intelligent tissue. With over 30 years specializing in the psoas, Liz is recognized in the somatic, bodywork and fitness professions as an authority on the core muscle. Join her and discover your psoas and how to maintain core integrity. Delving into the core of human awareness, each podcast is an adventure! Interviews with cutting edge approaches for healing trauma, activating coherency and dynamic healing protocol. Remember your psoas is a messenger of the central nervous system, so don't shoot the messenger! Instead, develop your Core Awareness to unravel scoliosis, let go of back pain, resolve injuries and increase healthy expression.
