Deep Stretch
Are you chronically stiff and uncomfortable? Deep Stretch can help you feel more at ease in your body with long-held stretches that will release tension. This practice focuses on passive floor poses combined with breathwork to strengthen your mental fortitude and open the body. Poses will be held for up to five minutes to gradually release muscle resistance until you find your edge in each pose (expect to feel a deeper stretch than in Deep Rest). This practice will focus on stretches that target connective tissues, ligaments, bones, and joints to increase your flexibility and mobility. Leave feeling longer, more limber, and seriously relaxed. Simple but effective, Deep Stretch is especially a favorite among men who experience tightness from sports or running. Please wear comfortable clothing and dress in layers.

Fascia & Tension Release
In this class you will experience relief from tension and chronic pain using myofascial release techniques before finishing with supported restorative poses to complete your relaxation experience. Fascia is the web-like layer of tissues that covers, wraps, connects, and supports your muscles, joints, and bones. These tissues need to be stretched and moved or they can become rigid and tight which can lead to other issues such as chronic pain and tension headaches. Shortening and engaging particular muscle groups before entering an opposing movement/stretch will help to access, stretch, and release fascia. These stretches are held for several breaths or minutes in order to get the most benefit. Classes will cycle through targeting specific sections of the body so that the whole body is covered each month. This relief from tension will help you feel lighter and softer so that you can flow through your life with ease. Save your spot in Fascia Release by booking today!

Each class will also include simple cardio movements to enhance your total-body workout. The instructor will demonstrate and explain each exercise and its proper technique to help you stay safe and make the most out of every movement!
