A live online deep dive into one topic every month.

October Masterclass:
Demystifying the Psoas: Why So Much Is Asked of One Muscle



Every month I teach a live online masterclass exploring a topic that matters to yoga teachers.

Rather than broad overviews, these sessions take a deep dive into subjects that are often misunderstood, helping you move beyond common myths and teach with greater confidence.

Each masterclass includes a live presentation, practical teaching insights, opportunities to ask questions during an extended Q&A, and ongoing access to the recording.

The Monthly Masterclass Series is included with a Yoga Anatomy Insights Premium subscription on Substack.

Join today and you can start learning straight away. You’ll get immediate access to the growing Masterclass Library, as well as the opportunity to join each new masterclass live every month.

Every monthly masterclass includes:

• 60-minute live teaching session

Demystifying Hypermobility, Part 1: Beyond Flexibility

Demystifying Hypermobility, Part 2: Teaching Hypermobile Students

What does hypermobility mean for the way we actually teach? Explore pain and feelings of tightness, stability, strength, active control, end-range movement, stretching, Yin Yoga and how we can help students expand their movement options.

Demystifying the Psoas: Why So Much Is Asked of One Muscle

Few muscles have attracted as many stories, claims and controversies as the psoas.

In this masterclass, we’ll explore what anatomy and evidence can actually tell us about the psoas. We’ll look at its role in movement and stability, question familiar ideas about posture and low back pain, explore its relationship with the diaphragm and breathing, and examine what we really mean when we talk about stretching, strengthening or “releasing” the psoas.

We’ll also investigate some of the bigger claims surrounding this much-discussed muscle — including whether sitting really makes the psoas “short and tight” and whether there is evidence that the psoas stores trauma.
