Roll&Relax - Yin Yoga and Myofascial Relaxation

What's it about?

The booster for your fascia health! This workshop combines myofascial relaxation and Yin Yoga. Fasciae are connective tissues that run throughout our body; they are also located around and within the muscles. These fasciae contain pain receptors that, when the fasciae become 'adhered' or 'knotted', can cause tension, stiffness, and pain. 😖 The good news is - you can treat these 'adherences' yourself and make the fasciae more supple, allowing them to glide better over each other and reducing or eliminating pain. In this workshop, we 'roll' defined areas of the body with different ball techniques. The pressure from the balls affects the deeper fascia layer. Afterwards, the rolled area is additionally stretched with a Yin Yoga asana (body pose). Some benefits of myofascial relaxation: - Support for regeneration in strength and endurance sports - Increased hydration of the tissue - Loosening adhesions and thus reducing pain and stiffness - Increased blood and lymph circulation - Improved neuromuscular coordination (better force transfer) Yin Yoga is a 'cold' yoga practice that physically impacts fascia health and serves to open the joints for more mobility. Different asanas (body poses) are held for several minutes, supported by aids such as yoga cushions, straps, or blankets. On an emotional, energetic, and mental level, Yin Yoga calms the mind, brings silence, and directs attention inward. The parasympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to relaxation. Self-compassion, acceptance, patience, tolerance, and contentment are practiced. With regular practice, Yin Yoga can: - Release tensions - Promote mobility - Have anti-inflammatory effects - Prevent cardiovascular diseases - Foster mental stability - Direct attention inward - Promote deep relaxation Yin Yoga is ideal for practicing mindfulness. Asanas should not only be held but also 'endured'. It is a good exercise for the mind, which can be helpful in everyday life. No prior knowledge is required. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to your registration. Each workshop session is individual - different body areas are worked on each time. Price: 30€ per person
