You will will be guided through a movement practice and meditation, enabling your self-correcting capacity to show itself from within. This awareness practice will draw from your midline and out of your body to the periphery to include the bioelectric field, creating a secure and balanced interior foundation in which you can continue to build optimal health. Learn how slow, conscious nourishing movements can help you draw on your body’s innate self-regulating, and self-healing power to find balance, inner peace, and wellbeing.
This workshop will focus on embodying Iliopsoas as a sense organ through the embryological midline from a Biodynamic Osteopathic perspective. We will start to shift the narrative to Iliopsoas more as a sense organ, rather than just a muscle, and discover how indeed it is the seat of our somatic soul.
The journey begins with cultivating ‘Self-energy’ with embodied awareness from an Internal Family Systems perspective. By resourcing ‘Self-energy’ through the biodynamic fluid body we will come to know Iliopsoas intimately from a functional perspective. 
While exploring it as an organ of proprioception and how it gives us support from the inside, we discover how it relates to the midline with its connection to the physical heart and heart centre. The beauty of Iliopsoas is that its prime function as a sense organ is the sensorial pleasure of being embodied.

In this workshop you'll discover:

● Ways to embody and understand your ability to self-heal, which empowers you to regulate your own health and wellbeing.● The biodynamic concept of how the movement of health feels throughout your system — those metabolic embryological innate forces which develop and grow us in the womb and heals us throughout our lives.● Iliopsoas as a sense organ and it prime function the sensorial pleasure of being embodied.● How to shift from a fight, flight, or freeze response that makes you anxious, fearful, and insecure, into a state of rest, repair, and rejuvenation.● The core strategies and principles of somatic movement — and how focusing inward can calm and balance your nervous system

Soak in the peace of rest and rejuvenation. With the help of gentle somatic movement, imagery, visualisation, scans, mediation and rest we will cultivate the quality of ease, deep peace and wellbeing. All are welcome, come as you are, for both somatic connoisseurs and new somatic explorers.

Explore somatic movement, awaken your chakras and regulate your own health and wellbeing. In addition to somatic movements, visualization and sound, we will bring in aspects of Vedic astrology (Jyotish), through the use of lunar constellations and seed mantras. Each chakra is associated with a planet, astrological signs, and lunar constellations (nakshatras). 
In this series we will ignite the qualities of the energy center and the nakshatras and the planet it governs, primarily by embodying the qualities of these heavenly bodies through somatic exploration. Combining these two approaches allows powerful healing to occur - supporting you to come back to your emotional intelligence, your felt sense of interoception and connect with your internal somatic feedback signals. Each lesson focuses on a different chakra and the lessons build on each other.
