Learn how to release tension in your fascia – the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, bones, and nerves – with self massage, using tennis balls and other yoga props.
No prior yoga experience needed. We’ll work from head to toe – literally – learning how to target areas of tension, including the upper back and shoulders, hips and lower back, and the hands and feet. Don't miss this opportunity to learn a new way to restore balance in the body.
RELEASE TENSION
Upcoming Yoga Workshop
Rest + Reset
Saturday, April 13
5:30 - 7:30p
ASCEND South Side
Cassandra Stevens
In this workshop we will explore elements of yin, restorative yoga and yoga nidra that help to support healthy regulation of the nervous system. We will journey through a few yin shapes reflecting one of the 5 elements relating to current season. Then move into stillness for restorative yoga and end with a guided yoga nidra practice.
In this workshop you will be guided into several yin yoga shapes holding poses for 1-3 mins to release tension in target areas. Props will be offered for a few restorative postures slowing moving into more stillness as you are guided into yoga nidra or yogic sleep. In this guided meditation you can experience a profound sense of relaxation slowly drifting in the states between wakefulness and sleep. No prior yoga experience is needed as this workshop is open to all levels. Most postures will be done seated or lying down with support from a variety of props.
REST IS A RADICAL ACT OF RESISTANCE.
