Specifically addressing educators and therapists, she delves into the conceptual framework of core by decolonizing the popular mechanistic thinking of psoas as muscle, inviting the reader on a journey toward reengaging with life's creative processes. The book illuminates the limitations of the predominant paradigm of body and actively explores psoas as a vital, intelligent messenger that links us to an expansive network of profound possibilities. Employing biomorphic and embryonic paradigms, Koch redefines psoas as smart, expressive tissue that is both elemental and universal. Named after her popular exploratory workshops of the same name, \u003ci\u003eStalking Wild Psoas\u003c\/i\u003e encourages all readers to nourish integrity and claim self-efficacy as creative and expressive individuals.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn international somatic educator and author, Liz Koch has thirty years of experience working with and specializing in the psoas muscle.
