FULL BODY MYOFASCIAL RELEASE + RESTORE
Sep
3

FULL BODY MYOFASCIAL RELEASE + RESTORE

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.

CANCELLATION POLICY: A credit will be issued for cancellations up to 24 hrs before event. No refund or credit will be issued to cancellations made less than 24hrs in advance- Thank You.
