The Psoas.

Hidden underneath our abs and behind our digestive system lies the Psoas.
A muscle we cannot touch, we cannot see, yet vital to movement and life.
Connecting our spine to our legs, it is the seed from which all movement begins.
Awaken the Psoas, and feel its vitality ripple throughout body.

Learn more about the Psoas: Wednesday, September 20th @ 4pm

Study Sessions.

It can be helpful to see that our teachers and mentors-- the people we look up to and seek guidance from-- are still in the middle of their journey. We forget that as much as they know now, they are still working hard to learn, study, grow, and improve.

Humbly, we understand that we cannot know it all, but we strive to be as good as our potential allows us to be-- and to share the results of that work with the world. To get there, we meet, study, and collaborate. One session at a time.

Stretching, strengthening, suppling the iliososas through multi-dimensional spirals and waves.

Despite its importance to walking, running and cycling, the iliopsoas is muscle that is often overlooked and undertrained, . As a primary hip flexor, its used every time you bring your leg forward. Located deep in the abdominal cavity it spirals from the lumbar spine to the femur. Its position, orientation, and spiraling fibers makes it particularly difficult to feel and access. Through the use of props, equipment, and good cueing, Gyrotonic movements can help to access, and train the ilioposas to maintain good posture when walking, increase stride length when running, and improve power on when cyling.

Join us at our next Gyrotonic for Runners and Cyclists class on Sunday June 25th @ 9am to learn more! Registration in bio link, as well as book now button, email, and DMs.

Exercise is not just a workout for your body, it stimulates your mind. If you are bored you aren’t exercising. Try changing things up from a seated, to a standing, to a lunging. It reengages you into the movement to find the same strength in a different position while challenging your balance.

It’s important to take time in your GYROTONIC® workouts to ground into the body and create moments of levity. As Julio says, “Every time exercising must be a new experience. Exercising is not a routine.”
