Once I senses and organized from this new area creating an “anchor” there, I extended my right leg back to the height of my hip and tuned in to check how my body was organizing with this new strategy. Almost immediately, the base of my neck softened. The shoulder tension I subtly rely on to stabilize dissipated. My scapulae dropped out of their habitual elevation. Something deeper in the mid-back had come online and was now acting as a stable integrated base to support the weight of my lifted leg. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab47c7c02d072c119c7d4/12f43491-307d-4695-b5ca-7e4efa017506/Anatomy+of+the+T12+region+and+muscles.png BLOG - Control of the Leg Begins Behind the Heart - An Important Intersection Behind the Heart This area regulates pressure and distributes force .

But if the signal between your brain and body is unclear, any intervention is just guessing in the dark. The “Say Hello to Your ____” series is about turning the lights back on: reconnecting to key muscles and pathways so you can organize them properly and move with clarity instead of compensation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab47c7c02d072c119c7d4/2eb034bf-007c-4636-aaf5-a2d12a2aabbf/Iliopsoas.jpg BLOG - Say Hello to Your Psoas - This is the iliopsoas — a group of muscles that blend together (the Psoas major and minor, and the illiacus) commonly shortened to “the psoas.” It is the primary muscle that connects your spine to your legs. The bridge between upper and lower body. That alone should give you an idea of how important it is! It’s been iconized as the “muscle of the soul” and the seat of our feeling of safety in the world. It’s also been villainized as a the cause of tight hips, sore lower backs, pelvic floor dysfunction, poor breath mechanics, anxiety — you name it. The common advice? Stretch it. Massage it. Release it. But that approach misses the point. The psoas longs to be FELT. It sits deep in the body, woven into the architecture of the lumbar spine and pelvis. It isn’t a superficial muscle you can roll into submission. And according to somatic educator Liz Koch in Core Awareness, direct myofascial release of the psoas isn’t even advised. A Psoas that’s underused, overused, or used in the wrong way gives confusing signals to the brain. A trunk that isn’t centered. A pelvis that’s rotated. A lower back gripping to create stability. Outer muscles compensating for a deeper system that hasn’t come online. The psoas isn’t a villian or a saint. It’s a messenger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab47c7c02d072c119c7d4/1771881209714-H5Q4YP5N7FIWSPFEK1WA/CRP.jpg BLOG - Say Hello to Your Psoas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab47c7c02d072c119c7d4/1771881287631-0VBPOPZPPOCKM4286M8T/HeelSlide.jpg BLOG - Say Hello to Your Psoas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab47c7c02d072c119c7d4/1771866208554-AMASL168UX5IGULSGD8Q/Presentation+-+Master+Your+Movement+%283%29.jpg BLOG - Say Hello to Your Psoas - The SOM Protocol Sense first.

You can read more about that workshop here. When you sense first, the brain gets accurate information. When you organize next, the body finds support and alignment. When you move last, the movement comes from a system that actually knows where it is. https://leahbushpilates.com/blog/workshop-review-master-your-movement-patterns monthly 0.5 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab47c7c02d072c119c7d4/edf674b3-3a52-4b04-a28a-d047b2dd5c83/Presentation+-+Master+Your+Movement.jpg BLOG - Workshop Review: Master Your Movement Patterns - Make it stand out Join my email list for news on my latest classes and workshops or check Instagram @leahbushpilates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab47c7c02d072c119c7d4/1769451820433-5O6OCAEIR12SIWP1D8A7/Presentation+-+Master+Your+Movement+%283%29.jpg BLOG - Workshop Review: Master Your Movement Patterns https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab47c7c02d072c119c7d4/1769451820652-GW0N49CVGYFTOI810H2H/Presentation+-+Master+Your+Movement+%282%29.jpg BLOG - Workshop Review: Master Your Movement Patterns https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab47c7c02d072c119c7d4/1769451821679-PIDYSL7BNRRSIV6HGJRB/Presentation+-+Master+Your+Movement+%281%29.jpg BLOG - Workshop Review: Master Your Movement Patterns https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab47c7c02d072c119c7d4/4f0c4d4e-c2b7-4690-b3dc-4d3702886198/How-to-hip-hinge.jpg BLOG - Workshop Review: Master Your Movement Patterns - The Dowel Just a simple wooden pole.
