The Psoas muscle is one of the largest muscles of the body. It connects from the top of your femur or thighbone to the thoracic spine behind your diaphragm. On a functional level, it is a hip flexor muscle as well as a deep muscle of the core. More importantly, it is a sensate muscle, hard-wired into your fight or flight system. As a society, we are often chronically stressed so our Psoas muscle is exhausted and overused.

This class will consist of Yoga Postures designed to stretch and tire the Psoas muscle which enables it to illicit a release response in the way of Neurogenic tremoring that occurs following the Yoga Postures class. This tremoring is a natural response from the body to release deeply held stress and trauma, and the associated stress hormones in order for the body to return to homeostasis where the body can heal, restore, and return to normal functioning.

Our class will end with Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra is a deep from of guided meditation that systematically takes you through four brainwave levels on a journey towards yogic sleep. Studies show that one Nidra session translates to the equivalent of 2-3 hours of restful sleep. This practice is deeply restorative and healing for the mind, body, heart, and spirit.
