In this installment of the Wisdom Keepers series, it was a profound honor to sit in conversation with Liz Koch, who is a true elder in the somatic field and a woman whose work has shaped generations of bodyworkers, movers, therapists, and seekers.

For more than 45 years, Liz has devoted her life to listening to the deep sensory system and illuminating the “wild wisdom” of the core psoas. As the creator of Core Awareness™ and author of multiple seminal texts on embodied intelligence, she has helped change the language of the body through relentless curiosity, lived experience, and devotion to direct perception.

Our conversation journeys through Liz’s unconventional path, from her early rebellion and finding grounding in the fibers of the earth to becoming a "conceptual artist" of the human body. Liz invites us to view our lives not as structures to be built, but as organic entanglements and creative processes that are continuously unfolding.

Liz Koch is a conceptual artist exploring the deep sensory system and the wild wisdom of core Psoas. An international somatic educator and author, she is the creator of Core Awareness™ and the author of The Psoas Book; Core Awareness: Enhancing Yoga, Pilates, Exercise & Dance; Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence; and her upcoming book Birth Savvy. Liz focuses on kinesthetic intelligence, direct perception, and somatic awareness as a means of unfolding our human potential. Stalking Wild Psoas is her passion and Changing the Language of Body is her mission.
