In this workshop, we’ll explore gentle strengthening and release work to restore balance to your psoas; breath practices that support both hip flexors and digestive function; yoga poses that stimulate digestive fire and improve motility; and simple techniques to calm the nervous system and support gut health. All practices will include modifications and prop support so that bodies of all ages and stages can benefit.
We will explore a series of yoga poses, mudras, breathwork, and simple daily practices to support healthy digestion — from mindful chewing and abdominal massage to twists, belly-release work, sequencing for elimination, and practices that tone the abdominal organs. Participants will leave with both philosophical insight and concrete strategies for easing bloating, indigestion, constipation, and that familiar sense of digestive sluggishness that can arise from stress, hurried eating, or lack of movement.
At the center of this work lies the psoas — one of the body’s most influential and least understood muscles. Pronounced so-as, the psoas is a deep stabilizer that connects your spine to your legs and plays a surprising role in everything from how you move to how you breathe to how well your digestive system functions. After 50, the psoas tends to become short and tight from years of sitting, or weak from under-use of the hip flexors. This matters more than you might think for your overall health.
When the psoas is imbalanced—either too tight or too weak—it can compress the low back, restrict diaphragmatic breathing, and disrupt the natural movement of the abdominal organs. Because of its intimate relationship with both the diaphragm and digestive tract, chronic psoas tension can contribute to digestive discomfort and slowed motility.
But here’s what makes this especially important: a healthy, balanced psoas supports the kind of effortless movement that keeps you active throughout the day. It enables you to get up and down from the floor with ease, maintain upright posture that supports deep breathing, and preserve the core stability that protects your back while you’re building and maintaining the muscle mass essential for metabolic health. Digestion, breath, core stability, and aging well are not separate conversations — the psoas connects them.
Whether you’re actively strength training and want to support that work with mobility and breath, or you’re simply looking to move more comfortably and digest more efficiently in daily life, this workshop is accessible, intelligent, and designed to help you feel more at ease in your body. Perfect for anyone craving more comfortable hips, easier breathing, better digestion, and the kind of core stability that makes everyday movement feel more effortless.
