NAT Master Course – The Vital Psoas (2 CEU’s)

This course presents an in-depth look at the most important yet abused skeletal muscle in the human body. Located deep within the front hip joint and lower spine, the psoas is critical for optimal postural alignment, movement, and overall well-being. Its function and importance extend beyond anatomical mechanics to the nerve complex and energy systems. Taking a uniquely holistic approach, the course text explores how the psoas affects the health of the body, mind, and spirit:
  • Physically, as the only muscle that connects the upper and lower body
  • Emotionally, as a messenger to and from the brain and a vessel of deeply rooted feelings
  • Spiritually, as an integrator within the root of the lower chakras, subtly affecting the flow of life energy throughout the body
