- Myofascial Release (MFR): training we’ll look at the newest research around fascia and trigger points and learn many MFR techniques to increase range of motion, enhance athletic outcomes, and temporarily alleviate tension and pain.
- Combination of tools and modifications: for you and your students as well as the science and studies behind the structure of fascia and the timing and techniques surrounding MFR.
- Overview of key energetic principles: such as Qi, Yin and Yang, and the meridians.
- Deep Dive: into how to use this information to sequence classes and support our students. Study the major meridians of the body, we will begin to understand, and from there apply, the interconnection between our bodies and the natural world around us.
WEEKEND THREE (Somatics, Fascia & Movement - Advanced Yin Yoga Training):
This training weekend will allow you to practice and teach with a new depth of insight and informed creativity. Our studies will follow four subjects of focus to a deeper level of study and conversation about the science of connective tissues, incorporating intelligent movement into yin yoga practices, nervous system regulation and co-regulation through the practice of yin and using principles of somatic awareness to hold space for practice.
- Yin Yoga & Holding Space: Learn a handful of inter-connected somatic awareness tools that will allow you to hold a safe and helpful space for yourself and your yin yoga students. These tools are also great life skills, and you’ll find they support good relationships and self-care as well.

- Yin Yoga & Connective Tissue: The yin yoga practice isn’t about stretching—-it’s about supporting the health and healing of our connective tissues. Learn some of the science behind this theory and more about how important connective tissue is to nourishing movement and longevity.
- Yin Yoga & Movement: Learn to create sequences with intelligent transitions and rhythmic movement to help facilitate nervous system regulation and healthy fascia.
