Root 2 Rise Yoga Fest is a celebration of movement, mindfulness, and community wellness, presented by Athens Farmers Market!

In this workshop, Ryan introduces you to the “inner art” of Qigong (pronounced “Chee-Gung”). Qigong is a form of mindful movement that has been used in East Asia for thousands of years to improve health and well-being. An essential tool for aging gracefully, Qigong upgrades the efficiency of both your body and your mind, leading to better circulation, immune function, digestion, sleep, mood, and more!

We will be offering a Qigong 4 week Series this July at Feel Free. Come try out the workshop and learn more about it.

Ryan is a doctor of traditional East Asian medicine and a somatic guide. He now offers his “needle-free” acupuncture treatments here at Feel Free Yoga & Wellness!

Join us monthly for our women's Community Circle. Our mission is to provide a safe and inclusive space for women in our community to come together, connect and support one another without judgement or shame. Being seen, heard, held and witnessed as we share our truths, can be empowering and healing. With an open mind and heart, we can access our own inner guidance to understand better what we each need to be healthy in mind, body and spirit.

Yoga Nidra, or awakened sleep, is an invitation to awaken into deeper states of conscious and subconscious mind during deep rest. Blended with awareness, this practice stimulates a fresh depth of healing and restoration In this hour long session your attention will be guided to go inside the various aspects of body, breath, and being. From dense, to progressively more and more subtle. This practice can be turned to regularly to reconnect to your center, conserve energy and rest deeply, unwind patterns of stress on the mind and the body, and deepen your yoga and meditation practice along the way.

Join Brenda for a full body myofascial release and restorative practice. Myo refers to muscle; and fascia is the network of connective tissue that surrounds and includes your muscles. Healthy myofascia is key to mobility. Tight myofascial tissue can restrict movement in your muscles and joints. This can lead to widespread pain and discomfort. Fascial release uses a ball, foam roller or yoga block in conjunction with body weight to apply therapeutic pressure to improve the slide and glide of your tissues by eliminating knots and increasing hydration through the act of compressing and releasing, like a sponge. This sequence will help release the most common areas of tension, giving the muscles greater capacity to stretch and move. We will target one area at a time, releasing the fascia then retraining those released muscles to lengthen and engage in gentle yoga poses. The sequence will end with a relaxing restorative practice and savasana.

Somatic Movement is explorative instead of outcome-driven, allowing us to discover the nuances of how we feel, focusing on the internal experience of the movement rather than the external appearance or the end result of the movement. We learn to tune into the body’s sensations, release tension, and explore a deeper connection between mind and body.
