Prehab for yogis and athletes.
Why wait until you are injured? Adopt this class as part of your maintenance routine, like taking your car for a service. A mixed modality class exploring breath work, myofascial release (muscle and connective tissue) and meditation techniques to loosen the grip of your mind and body. This class is beneficial for improving; tissue elasticity, range of motion, efficiency of movement, diaphragmatic breathing, mental focus/resilience, flexibility, blood/lymphatic circulation and recovery from other physical activities.
We've brought mindfulness and breath awareness into the classic "Roll and Release" class (self-administered deep tissue myofascial release/deep tissue massage). The result? An unravelling of deep tension holding patterns in your physical, mental and emotional body. The body is a mirror for the mind so it makes sense that we need to work on the roadmap of our entire being. We believe that fascia (web of deep connective tissue) is a storage system for the emotional body. If you are grasping a negative thought pattern or stuck in a repetitive cycle of emotional contraction, eventually it's going to show up in the physical body. We've all experienced the way fear makes your body shrink inside. A focus on breath work while accessing deep energy lines (in a very different way to yin yoga) is like experiencing an oil change for your energetic body. Flow with more freedom through life.
