Ariele Foster – Fascia Release for Yoga

Your body has a three-dimensional matrix of tissue. It weaves through muscles, organs, and bone to bind your different parts together. The entire chain can be affected if an area of your body becomes stiff or develops scar tissue. In a 6-week course, you will learn how to use self-myofascial release techniques with props like foam rollers and balls to support your yoga practice. She will teach you the dos and don’ts of myofascial release techniques and help you stay safe as you discover new ease in your asana.

The course objectives are listed.

• Learn to identify and address fascial stiffening, adhesions, and deep scars that can restrict movement or cause pain
• Understand how to use tools like rollers or balls to directly target fascia while avoiding pressure on bones or tendons
• Safely practice a variety of compression holds, rolling, shearing, and oscillation or micro-movements
• Understand the best ways to incorporate fascial release techniques into a yoga class and/or how to use them to complement your yoga practice
• Feel a difference in your asana practice after fascial release and experience improved proprioception (awareness of where your body is in space)

You will get each week.

• An anatomy lesson on the fascial region you’ll be targeting
• An asana sequence to practice before and after fascial release

• Tips to help you move through your asana practice with improved body awareness
