Term 3 starts back next week, Monday 20th July, 2026.
Along with my regular group Hatha Yoga classes, I am excited to now offer a Myofascial Release class that finishes with the deep relaxtion technique of Yoga Nidra. On Friday mornings, 9am-10am at the dance studio at 111 Colombo Rd, Masterton $15 per person. This is a great way to end the week feeling relaxed and refreshed.
There has been a lot of buzz around fascia in the world of biomechanics and this is influencing yoga anatomy and physiology. Interest in the wellness and fitness industries has also increased around fascia and the benefits of healthy fascia as science is exploring and learning more in this area. Originally thought to be packaging or protection around our muscles and organs, we now know that fascia extends throughout the body in a maxtrix wide web.
“Fascia is a network of connective tissue, without beginning and end, which encloses everything in the whole body, from muscles and bones, to organs and cells” Thomas Myers
All of my yoga classes are improving fascia within the body, however this Myofascial Release Class is a targeted healing soft tissue massage using both movement and props that I provide. Our bodies tend to accumulate areas of dense fascia through repetition in our movements and traumas throughout our lives. This class assists in finding, relaxing and releasing tight fascia in these areas, encouraging healing and even growth. A healthy myofascial system is pliable,elastic and hydrated allowing for fluid movement and connectivity throughout the body.
A beautiful release-I’m looking forward to sharing with you soon.
