About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

Welcome to The Psoas In Performance: Trauma Physiology and the Modern Athlete event! Join us at CrossFit Central London for a dynamic and experiential workshop exploring how the psoas muscle—deep within the core—interfaces with the sympathetic nervous system. Often overlooked in both athletic training and mental health work, the psoas plays a central role in how we respond to stress, store trauma, and perform under pressure. This session will help you better understand how to identify psoas-related imbalances and work with them to support improved psychological resilience and athletic function.


Whether you’re a coach, therapist, or someone committed to your own physical and emotional integration, this workshop provides practical tools to assess, release, and integrate tension in the core. Leave with insight, language, and movement strategies you can immediately apply to your practice—or your life.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is ideal for coaches, therapists, movement professionals, and anyone curious about the mind-body connection—especially through the lens of stress, trauma, and performance.

Do I need prior knowledge of anatomy or the nervous system?

No prior knowledge is required. The workshop is designed to be accessible, with clear explanations and practical applications for all levels.

Will there be movement involved?

Yes, light movement and embodied exploration are part of the workshop. You’ll be invited to tune into your own experience, but all activities are optional and adaptable.

Is this focused more on athletic training or mental health?

Both. The workshop bridges performance and psychological insight, offering tools applicable in fitness settings, therapeutic environments, and personal growth.

Will I get tools I can use with clients?

Yes—practical language, somatic techniques, and strategies for identifying psoas-related patterns will be covered, making this immediately useful in client work.

What if I’m just coming for myself, not as a professional?

You’re absolutely welcome. Many people attend to better understand their own body, stress responses, and inner strength.
