MYOFASCIAL INTEGRATED YOGA
Release Tension, Improve Flexibility, and Restore Balance
Self-care is essential, and Myofascial Integrated Yoga offers a powerful way to prioritize your well-being. This unique class combines the principles of yoga with myofascial release techniques to help you release tension, improve flexibility, and enhance overall body awareness. By focusing on the connective tissues and fascia that support your muscles and joints, this practice helps alleviate tightness, improve mobility, and promote relaxation throughout the body.
Each class begins with a gentle warm-up to prepare your body and bring awareness to areas of tension. You’ll then explore the use of props like lacrosse balls and yoga tools to target specific trigger points and adhesions within bound muscle tissue. These “hurt-so-good” techniques, guided by experienced instructors, allow you to release restrictions, restore range of motion, and address areas of chronic tightness.
The session also integrates yoga postures and breathwork, encouraging mindful movement and deep, intentional stretching. By combining these modalities, Myofascial Integrated Yoga supports your body’s natural recovery processes and fosters a sense of calm and relaxation. Whether you’re an athlete, a yogi, or someone looking for relief from daily stress, this class provides a holistic and rejuvenating experience.
