In this 2.5-hour XXL class, you will learn simple and effective ways to care for your own fascia using hands, soft and firm balls, and yoga blocks through various pressure and stretching techniques. We will explore different approaches and discover what works best for each individual body.

Many of us have been practising yoga for years. Yoga helps us feel better, become stronger, and move with more ease. Yet sometimes there are parts of the body that simply do not seem to change. Tight hamstrings that never let go, stubborn hips, an aching lower back, or shoulders that always feel tense and disconnected.

Sometimes movement and stretching are not enough because the issue lies deeper in the fascial system.

Myofascial release is not a replacement for yoga—it is a missing piece that can help us understand why certain areas remain stuck despite years of practice and can open the door to a deeper experience of movement, improved mobility and greater flexibility.

Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports our muscles and gives our body its shape and structure. Over time, stress, repetitive patterns, injury, lack of movement, and ageing can create areas of tension that affect the way we move and feel. Fascia becomes dehydrated, restricted, and less adaptable.

This is where myofascial release can help.

By using pressure and gentle manual techniques, we can stimulate the deeper layers of tissue, improve hydration and invite the body to let go of unnecessary tension. Often this creates a sense of spaciousness and ease that stretching alone cannot provide.

During this class, you will learn practical techniques that you can return to whenever your body needs extra care and attention. Think of it as a whole-body self-massage that you can adapt to your own needs and preferences. You will experience much-needed relief in tired muscles and a deep sense of relaxation and renewal.

We will work with the whole body, step by step moving through different body parts.

The practice will be slow, quiet, and deeply nourishing, bringing us into the same focused and meditative state that we know from Yin Yoga.

No previous experience is necessary.
