Hi everyone,

Here's an informative (yet easy listening) piece on the importance of the psoas and other core structures for the well being of your body and mind: http://www.coreawareness...ts/bio-mechanics-bowman/

As I've become increasingly aware of the extent to which body/mind work as an integrated system, and did more and more research to help me better understand my own body, that sometimes took me to such places like bodybuilding. com, and quite a bit of the advice in there (and other mainstream fitness sites) is plain scary. How did short, stiff, bulky muscles powered by tons of pills and powders along with the mandatory eating of 20 chickens per day ever come to be associated with health and fitness?

At least women have the advantage of cultural attitudes that encourage building power and flexibility in such crucial functional areas as the butt and pelvic region. Men, however, are expected to tirelessly work on their chests and biceps. You know, they need that strength to properly swing those heavy swords in battle.

Update: I've been browsing the articles posted by that lady (the one interviewed) on her website, and she has a great holistic yet no-nonsense approach. The address is
