Fascial Release & Mindful Movement
A Restorative Workshop for Deep Tissue Renewal and Somatic Awareness
Discover the transformative power of fascia-focused movement in this immersive workshop designed to nourish your body from the inside out. Fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs—plays a vital role in mobility, posture, and overall well-being. When hydrated and healthy, fascia supports fluid movement and resilience. When restricted, it can contribute to tension, stiffness, and imbalance.
This workshop blends gentle movement, long-held stretches, and myofascial release techniques to support the health and hydration of your fascia. Through slow, mindful transitions and deep diaphragmatic breathing, you'll create space for your body to unwind, reorganize, and restore balance. Expect a mix of Yin-inspired poses, subtle micro-movements, and dynamic flow to stimulate fluid movement and enhance tissue elasticity.
Massage balls may be used to release fascial adhesions and improve mobility, while breathwork offers an internal massage that supports organ function and emotional release. By honoring the body's natural rhythms and cultivating awareness, this practice invites deep, lasting change in the connective tissues.
Whether you're recovering from tension, seeking deeper flexibility, or simply craving a nourishing reset, this experience offers a safe and supportive space to move with intention and reconnect with your body's innate wisdom.
All levels welcome. Props and massage balls provided

Conscious Aging - A Mindfulness Workshop with Joanne Metz & Kas Frost
