The Supportive Psoas

9 Week Series

Nervous System Repair & Core Vitality

Inspired by Pathways to a Centred Body by Donna Farhi and Leila Stuart, this 9-week series—creatively adapted by Jackie—offers a deep dive into the psoas muscle, your body’s primary core connector. Often referred to as the “fear muscle,” the psoas sits deep within the body, linking spine to legs and back body to front. It plays a vital role in posture, movement and emotional regulation and its condition often reflects the state of your nervous system.

Through slow, gentle and highly effective yoga practices, you’ll explore what your psoas truly needs to function optimally. Each week, we’ll move through the full protocol while focusing in depth on one segment to build a thorough understanding of how to support this essential muscle. By the end of the series, you’ll be able to identify which parts of the protocol best serve your body and nervous system.

Protocol Segments: LOCATE . SOFTEN . LENGTHEN . BALANCE . STRENGTHEN . MOVE . RELAX

This series is a powerful investment in your wellbeing. When the psoas is supported, it can offer greater structural integrity, vitality, flexibility and resilience.

✨ Benefits Include:

• Reduced pain, stiffness and discomfort
• Increased ability to relax

“So much gratitude to you Jackie as I have learnt so much in the past 8 weeks. I think acknowledging that the psoas muscle is ... where I have been holding on for fear of hurting myself. The simple action of breathing into the psoas and doing the exercises have been truly life changing for me....” Virginia
