What is Myo-Fascial Release?

Myo-fascial release is a technique that uses sustained pressure to break up connective tissue binds in the body. These binds can limit muscle mobility and cause both pain and tension. Fascia is a densely woven connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and all of our internal organs. We build new layers of fascia every night, so if we do not take the initiative to break up these binds, our bodies become tighter and more stuck in our habitual movement patterns. The resulting outcome is tension, knots, pain, and lack of mobility.

In this hybrid Myo-Fascial Flow class, we will begin on the floor with myo-fascial work to help loosen the binds in our fascia. Each week has a different focus, and therefore a different set of movements to help specifically target different areas in the body. Next, we transition to standing and eventually into an all-levels vinyasa section of class, where students will move through a guided flow, sometimes with pauses to add in extra myo-fascial exercises, but mostly to continue the path of opening up the targeted area of the body. We will end class with additional myo-fascial techniques and a final rest in long savasana for a well-rounded class to help integrate your work and prepare you to move forward into your day with a clear mind and open body.
