The ground state of a relativistic positronium (Ps) atom moving in the planar channeling regime in a Si crystal is investigated within the continuum potential approximation. The strong dependence of the internal structure of the Ps atom and its spatial distribution inside the crystal is found to be a function of the total energy of Ps. The squeezing of the atom and destroying of the spherical symmetry of the Ps ground state in a crystal with increasing Ps total energy is demonstrated. A brief discussion of applications and extensions is given.
