Please let me refer you off my site to CoreAwareness.com with Liz Koch. I'm really excited about her work and she can tell you the best.

What: The psoas (so-as) is a large pair of muscles from the spine between the pelvis and the ribs that wrap like cradling wings around to the front of the pelvis and drop down to attach at the lower end to the top of the thigh bone. They help us walk upright, support our abdominal organs. The tone of the psoas pair can have an effect on the descent of the baby and even fetal position.
Why: We "release" tension stored in the psoas for optimal body function.
When: At any time. In pregnancy and during labor. Before or after pregnancy, for all.
How: Several activities and generally good posture and breath. More coming....
When not to: Can't think when!
Before: Before doing these exercises, find a moment with peace to set up a little space and time to do them without a busy mind distracting you from your perceptions.
Next: After doing these exercises you will feel more relaxed and centered. Keep the breath flowing and repeat the exercises as needed. A resolved psoas is life changing for all as well as advantageous for the pregnant and birthing woman.
