Fascia Classes
Fascia is strong connective tissue which performs a number of functions including enveloping and isolating the muscles of the body, providing structural support and protection. Through injuries, surgery which create scar tissue, or inactivity, or poor posture, this fascial network can get stuck and rigid. In mobility classes/workshops, we work to release and rehydrate these tissues to help optimize your body’s natural function. class is a self-care treatment class, using a variety of different modalities from The Roll Model Method, to Zenga, to self-myofascial stretching and release. Through assessing and then reassessing, it will help to increase your body awareness, help relieve tension, aches and pain, and increase your overall wellbeing.
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a slower-paced, more meditative version of the popular physical and spiritual discipline of yoga where the asanas (poses) are more passive holds, with little muscular engagement. In Yin yoga, the poses are held for a long period of time (typically three to five minutes or longer) to target the connective tissues rather than focusing on the muscles. Yin yoga stretches and targets both the deep connective tissues between the muscles, and the fascia throughout the body. The aim is to increase circulation in the joints, and improve flexibility. As one ages, flexibility in the joints decreases, and Yin yoga is a wonderful and relaxing way to maintain that flexibility.
