Roll & Release: The art of fascia unwinding
Why let stress bind us when simply we can move this overcharged energy? This workshop is a journey into deeper waters of healing through roll and release. Roll and release yoga is a pathway to healing, flexibility, letting go of tensions and pains and even letting go of emotional energy that causes a lot of suffering.
We use ‘props’ like tennis balls and blocks to massage and manipulate the myofascial tissue, which is a membrane that holds our energy and emotional body. The fascia is a fibrous connective tissue that is present throughout our entire body, not just the muscles. It’s through this connective tissue that energy flows and stress and tensions can create blockages and stiffness. Often through emotional traumas, physical injuries, overuse of muscles, lack of movement and just daily life stress, this membrane can hold tensions and block our vital energy.
Roll and release is a form of self-massage with the capacity of resetting our emotional and physical body and release stress related patterns.
What to expect: In this workshop you will learn what fascia is and how it gets affected by physical and emotional stress. You will learn how to liberate yourself from tensions created, improve the mobility of the joints and your flexibility in general. Through breathing exercises and gentle asana’s you will experience a deep relaxed state of mind, as the nervous system will start to unwind completely. A welcome gift of tools to take home to release tensions in your body at any time you want!
