Unwind & Release: Gentle Yoga + MFR Series

Unwind & Release: A Gentle Yoga & Myofascial Release Introductory Series 4 Week Class Series • 90 minutes each (Dates 10/7, 10/14, 10/21, 10/28) Join us for a calming 4-week journey designed to melt away tension, calm the nervous system, and restore ease in your body. Unwind & Release blends the soothing, mindful movements of Gentle Yoga with the targeted self-massage techniques of Myofascial Release (MFR) — an accessible, science-backed method to relieve tight muscles and fascia. Whether you’re new to yoga, curious about MFR, or simply craving deeper relaxation, this beginner-friendly series will give you tools to release physical tension, quiet the mind, and leave you feeling lighter, freer, and more at home in your body. Each week we’ll focus on a different area of the body and a theme for stress relief: Week 1 – Release the Weight of the World Learn the basics of MFR while melting away tension in the shoulders, neck, and back. Gentle heart-opening poses paired with targeted MFR will help you stand taller, breathe more freely, and begin building confidence in these new self-care techniques. Week 2 – Soften & Ground Connect to your breath and create a sense of safety in your body. We’ll release tension from the feet, calves, quadriceps, and hamstrings — your foundation for posture, balance, and overall stability. Week 3 – Free the Hips, Free the Mind Let go of the deep-seated stress stored in the hips. You’ll use yoga postures and MFR to release the glutes, outer hips, and IT band for more ease and mobility. Week 4 – Spiral into Balance Experience the interconnectedness of your entire body as we work along the spiral lines of fascia — the fascial pathways that wrap diagonally around the body, linking the head to the feet and the left side to the right. Through gentle yoga and targeted MFR, we’ll release rotational tension, improve stability, and integrate the work from previous weeks. You’ll leave feeling more aligned, balanced, and deeply connected from head to toe.
