Pine Ridge Clubhouse

Hosted by: Catherine Behrent at Pine Ridge Golf Course Clubhouse

In this hour and a half class, we will warm up with a few yoga stretches, but most of the class will be learning about self myo- fascial release techniques, (self massage) with small, grippy paired yoga therapy balls.  I have therapy balls for you to use, and if you like it you can buy them on Amazon.

Self-massage (SMFR) relieves aches and pains, stiffness, enhances breathing, reduces stress and improves your posture and performance. To understand how it works, you must first understand that the body is made up of multiple layers of connective tissue (fascia) that weaves and winds its way around every part of your body’s parts, connecting (and separating) you from head to toe.  (hmmm..can roll my feet and release my hamstrings!)

“A fascia is a sheath, a sheet, or any other dissectible aggregations of connective tissue that forms beneath the skin to attach, enclose, and separate muscles and other internal organs.”

Massage Balls improve the slide and glide between the fascial layers which translates into ease of movement, release of tension, and reduction of discomfort and stiffness.

In class, we will work from feet to head (massage) .  IF YOU ARE WILLING TO GO HERE, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO INCREASE YOUR TOLERANCE FOR PLEASURE !

Please take a look at this youtube short video before class. Fascia and Stretching, The FUZZ speech by Gil Hedley.
