Saturday 9th October, 4.30pm – 6.30pm | Livestreamed from Beethoven Street studio

Studio Price: £25 | Online Price: £20

In this workshop you will take a journey around the pelvis using yin and myofascial release techniques to support your body and create renewed connection to your tissue.

A mindful approach to myofascial release should be slow, comfortable and non-pushy. For this reason, it’s a perfect complement to the practice of yin yoga and its contemplative elements.

In the yin yoga practice, you will explore longer held grounding postures to encourage a relaxation response in the body and dial down distracting internal dialogue. Mary will also guide you through myofascial release techniques that will involve applying gentle pressure on muscular and fascial tissues using massage balls to release tension and enhance circulation, encouraging hydration and tissue resilience.

The use of various yoga props in this workshop will ensure that you feel safe and supported throughout. If you are attending online, you will need a bolster, yoga blocks, a blanket and a yoga strap. You can also substitute these yoga props using everyday items found at home like cushions, towels and books. Studio attendees will be provided with all the above props.

Additionally, all attendees will need two smooth massage balls (or tennis balls), a small sock to hold the balls and a small towel for the myofascial release aspect.

This practise is open to all levels, but you are advised to take qualified medical advice if you have any injuries/medical conditions or have had recent operations/procedures that may be affected or be inflamed by the yoga practise and applying gentle physical pressure to the body.
