Myofascial Release & Yoga Mindfulness

Myofascial Release + Mindful Yin
"Balance your week with rehydration and rejuvenation"
Myofascial release (thru massage balls) offers the same benefits of stretching without the risks of overstretching and damaging the joints. It can be a powerful tool for relieving tightness and discomfort. It is an alternative medicine therapy for treating skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood, oxygen, and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles. It helps break down excessive connective tissue deposition as well as stimulates them to produce new, more resilient connective tissue. It also enhances the hydration of this tissue. Even less than five minutes of self-myofascial release a day will be a great complement to your yoga practice and everyday life.
Props needed: Yoga mat, 2 Myofascial Balls or tennis balls, 1 sock and 1 block.
