Berkshire Yoga Festival 2024

Self-myofascial release (SMFR) has mass appeal from multiple spaces within the wellness fields. Learn the newest evidence to support the use of SMFR for your own personal practice and classes. This workshop provides you with a simple and effective self-myofascial release tool to help you erase pain, improve mobility, build embodied awareness and prevent injuries. This workshop will increase your knowledge of your body as you learn to navigate multiple connective tissues. You’ll learn 9 rolling techniques that can support every area of your body. We will rollout using a best practices approach to relieve emotional stress and improve whole body coordination and function. Help your body awaken, move, feel and heal.

This embodied movement session travels you through the neuro-myofascial impact of the respiratory diaphragm throughout the body. This class provides biofeedback on proprioceptive and interoceptive aspects of breathing via gentle fascial stimulation. Explore 3 zones of respiration and be prepared to decompress your spine, improve your breath’s range of motion and increase your tolerance capacity for a parasympathetic dominant state. *Bring your favorite self-myofascial release balls to use in the practice portion. Jill will be using Yoga Tune Up® Balls and 2 Coregeous® Balls.*
