Enhancing Movement Longevity - Keys to Releasing Chronic Myofascial Restrictions
As part of Track 3, study live online with Ellen Saltonstall and learn how to integrate yoga and myofascial release methods into your yoga practice and teaching.
Our all-pervasive fascial web functions as support, as force transfer, and as sensory feedback throughout the entire body. But it can significantly restrict our movement if it is chronically tight.
Learn myofascial release techniques that take advantage of the rich nerve supply within the fascia; by applying specifically targeted pressure to the fascia, the body and mind release tension and movement becomes easier and more enjoyable.
Using simple tools like rubber balls, learn how to explore tension patterns and gain greater flexibility to help with chronic aches or movement restrictions in your body that persist even with a good yoga practice.
With its sophisticated approach to long-held stretches, Yin Yoga is a powerful technique for increasing the health and resilience of the soft tissues, particularly the fascia.
However, it's important to approach this practice in the right way to avoid injuries. In this 3-part bonus course with Bernie Clark, learn the key Yin Yoga principles for enhancing the health of the fascia and building greater soft tissue resilience.
We tend to approach our yoga practice with the idea that more is better. However, when it comes to working with the fascia, research suggests that too much force is counterproductive.
To gain fascial release, gentle and intuitive movements are far more productive than intense movements or stretches that foster high pressure or strong sensation.
Learn how to re-hydrate your fascia and nourish your nervous system using SomaSensing, a prop-free, intuitive self-healing approach developed by Yasmin, which is based on mindfulness and embodied awareness principles.
Track 3 BONUS! Dr. Robert Schleip: Moving Your Mind: The Role of Fascia in Nervous System Regulation
(A $127 Value)
Until recently, fascia was mainly seen as a supportive and protective tissue that held muscles, bones, and organs in place. However, we now know that the fascia’s purpose extends well beyond this.
Research is now revealing that fascia may be one of the fundamental sensory systems in the human body. Even more than that, the fascial network may be an extension of the autonomic nervous system with incredible regulatory and communicative capacities.
Join yoga therapists Eva Norlyk Smith, Ph.D. and Terry Smith, Ph.D. and learn a new, groundbreaking approach to building greater fascial health and resilience. Learn new ways to work with the body to prevent or address age or trauma related changes in the fascia like adhesions, fibrosis, scar tissue, loss of hydration, and loss of pliability.
It is these factors which many researchers now believe may result in the structural changes in the fascial network that lie at the root cause of numerous disease processes.
You will learn many of the current ways we practice yoga doesn't allow us to gain the full benefits of the practice when it comes to building greater fascial resilience. You will also learn a system that empowers you to work more effectively with building fascial resilience in your own body and help your students do the same.
In this module, we explore different ways to tune in to the fascial network and develop a felt sense of the fascial sheath in our body. Learn to feel the difference between a stretch and fascial release.
This module lays the foundation for vastly improving interoception and connect with the felt sense of your body in a more profound way.
In this module, learn techniques to work with the fascia directly in yoga asanas to keep it pliable, hydrated, and resilient. We will explore the 6 types of movement you can incorporate into your yoga asana practice to create a full, integrated workout for the body-wide fascial network.
For yoga teachers, you will also learn how to make this technique available to everyone, whether a long-term yoga practitioner or beginning yoga student, to develop a new edge in your teaching.
Module 3: The Fascia Rejuvenation Method – Building Resilience in the Superficial Back Line
In the next four modules, we will dive into the practical applications of the Fascia Rejuvenation Method as it applies to Tom Myers’ Anatomy Trains model.
Learn how to practice to create deeper opening and fascial resilience along the superficial back line. Experience how this translates into a deepening in forward bending yoga asanas.
Module 4: Fascia Rejuvenation in Yoga Asanas – Building Resilience in the Superficial Front Line
This module continues applying the Fascia Rejuvenation Method to Tom Myers’ Anatomy Trains model. Learn how to foster greater fascial resilience along the superficial front line. Experience how this translates into a deepening in backbending yoga asanas.
Module 5: Fascia Rejuvenation in Yoga Asanas – Building Fascial Resilience in the Spiral and Lateral Lines
In this module, learn how to integrate the principles of the fascia to work more directly with the lateral line and spiral line in yoga asanas to create greater opening, resilience and strength. Experience how this translates into a deepening of the breath and increased mobility of the thoracic spine.
The deep core line as described by Tom Myers in his Anatomy Trains model forms an anatomical and energetic center that includes the inner thighs, the psoas muscles, the diaphragm, and breathing muscles. As such, it has a powerful connection to our autonomic nervous system and parasympathetic functioning.
In this module, learn how to connect with the deep core line in your practice and experience how working with the deep core line can help induce a sense of ease, relaxation and well-being.
