Myofacial Release

  • Namaste Yoga Center 3121 Rochester Road Royal Oak, MI, 48073 United States (map)

This fun and interactive class will focus on techniques to release your muscles, fascia, connective tissues and tendons. Self myofascial release (SMFR) is a self massage technique, utilizing blocks, balls and other props to help you relax. We will learn about the benefits of releasing the stress held in tight connective tissues and muscles. SMFR stimulates and relaxes constricted tissues. 

Tight myofascial tissue can restrict movement in your joints and muscles, causing tightness, tension, and ‘knots’ you can’t get rid of. Because these areas are tighter, they may create imbalances in the way you move, with can create additional tightness that you’re not immediately aware of. 

These techniques are being incorporated into some Yin yoga classes as well as other classes. You will feel like you have had a massage and can use these techniques in classes and at home.

In-studio only.
