Summer TeleClass

Summer Tele-Class begins Tuesday July 8 through August 5 2008. Five consecutive Tuesdays, from 4pm to 5pm PDT (7pm to 8pm EDT - Wednesday morning for folks down under). Enjoy each, one-hour virtual class, from the comfort of your own home! Registration cost $195 and includes a student copy (with flawed cover) of The Psoas Book. All times are Pacific Daylight Time. You are responsible for all telephone costs (i.e. long distance or phone minutes). If you miss a class you can listen to it for one week - and email your questions). Class will cover basic aspects of the psoas muscle; its functioning and effect, recommend exercises to try between classes, and group discussion of problems and solutions for psoas issues.

What participants have to say:
“The psoas tele-class was informative & practical: Exercises were assigned that were actually possible to do at home without personal contact with the instructor, and I could do these exercises within the first day. I learned valuable insight into how to work with a muscle that is a common problem for many of my clients.” spring teleclass participant

“A most valuable class for postural and pelvic awareness - I learned how to sit more comfortably, and I learned how to avoid exacerbating some SI joint problems I have. The physical therapy exercises I’d been given had only worsened my back/pelvic pain, but I found Liz’s exercises and skillful observations to be profoundly helpful in reducing my pain and correcting my pelvic alignment.” spring teleclass participant
