Deep Stretch & Release Series

4 Sessions of self-massage and Yin

Props: yoga mat, pillows, blanket, foam roller + 1-2 firm massage balls, tennis balls, or lacrosse balls

This supportive series of four, full-length classes takes place mostly while seated or lying down. We alternate between deep, Yin-style stretches, light movement, and self massage techniques and tools.

This practice lubricates creaky, stiff joints; opens up tight, stuck, and sore areas of the body, and slows down your mind. Great for self-care and maintenance, recovering from training or workouts, and rehabbing old injuries.

Ability: Need to be able to get down on the floor and up again easily.

Props: foam roller, acupressure massage balls, pillows and blankets. Optional, stick roller.
