Restorative Yoga: Journey to the Psoas
Where and what does the psoas muscle group do?
Where is this 'psoas muscle' group?
The iliopsoas muscle group is made up of the psoas major, psoas, minor and the iliacus muscles.We will mostly explore the psoas major muscle in thisi workshop. The psoas originates from the 12th thoracic vertebrae (T12) and travels laterally to each of the 5 lumbar vertebrae. From there it flows down through the abdominal core, the pelvis, to attach to the top of the femur (thigh) bone (see image below from http://www.townsvillemassage.com/healthy-hip-flexors/)

What does it do?
The Psoas is the only ‘muscle’ to connect the upper and lower spine to
the legs. It is responsible for holding us upright, and allows us to
lift our legs in order to walk. A healthily functioning psoas stabilizes
the spine and provides internal support through the trunk. This forms a
shelf for the vital organs of the abdominal core to function optimally.
Interesting?
Resetting the psoas can assist with fatigue and tiredness, digestive and menstrual irregularities as well as lower back, SI joint and hip discomfort, and pelvic imbalances.
Internal awareness of the iliopsoas muslce group and learning to release this muscle group will bring a sense of freedom, ease and structural integrity into your core.
