What is Myofascial Release Yoga?
Myofascial release is a technique of applying gentle pressure on ‘trigger points’ to release tension in the connective tissues or fascia that bind and support our muscles, organs, bones, joints, nerve fibers and other structures of our body. Releasing this tension helps to alleviate pain and improve flexibility and mobility of the body, which in turn improve your yoga practice. Myofascial Release Yoga is a yoga practice which incorporates self-myofascial release techniques, for example using tennis balls or other props.
What are the benefits of Myofascial Release?
Practitioners of myofascial release yoga claim to experience these benefits:
Reduce soreness and help assist the tissue recovery process.
Improve your range of motion.
Help the body relax overall.
Improve circulation.
Release tension, knots and stress.
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga as exercise, incorporating principles of traditional Chinese medicine, with asanas (postures) that are held for longer periods of time than in other styles.Yin Yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body—the tendons, fasciae, and ligaments—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. A more meditative approach to yoga, its goals are awareness of inner silence, and bringing to light a universal, interconnecting quality.
