Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps every muscle, bone, and organ, linking the whole body into one continuous web. You can use myofascial release (MFR) to help soften chronic tension, improve mobility, and develop a deeper sense of the body.
The weekends combine clear, research-informed lectures with lots of time on the mat. You'll learn the why behind the work and then practice the how, leaving ready to bring self-myofascial release (SMR) into your classes, privates, and personal practice with confidence.
What We'll Cover
Introduction and Overview: what myofascial release is, where it comes from, and where it fits in a yoga practice
Key Terms and Science: the anatomy and physiology of fascia, tensegrity, and the language you need to explain this work clearly (the nerdy stuff, in the best way!)
Benefits: what MFR can support, including mobility, recovery, nervous system downregulation, and body awareness, along with what the research does and doesn't yet show
Factors: what affects fascial health, such as hydration, movement patterns, injury, stress, and time under load, and how to adapt for different bodies
Fascia and Yoga: how fascial principles relate to asana, sequencing, and longer-held practices like yin
SMR Techniques: how to use balls, rollers, and other props for self-release, with attention to safe pressure, timing, and contraindications
Full-Body MFR Practice: practice teaching and application, ending with a complete head-to-toe sequence that brings together everything you've learned
