Myofascial Release for Balance

This 2-hour workshop will explore various balance poses through a 30-minute mat practice followed by 90 minutes of Myofascial Release Techniques targeting common problem areas in balance poses. Myofascial Release Techniques use gentle, sustained pressure techniques to release tension in the connective tissue (fascia) that can restrict movement in balance poses, allowing for deeper awareness and improved stability. This session will cover how to utilize props like foam rollers, balls, and blocks to target specific areas involved in balance poses, enabling participants to learn self-massage techniques to practice at home and enhance their balance in their practice. Students are welcome to choose any balance pose they desire throughout the session; poses such as Side Plank, Royal Dancer or Crow options will be offered throughout. Not recommended for those with Osteoporosis or those currently recovering from surgery/injury involving torn/cut muscle groups. Please speak with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.
