This workshop is designed to teach you how to unwind tension and restore mobility through gentle movement and self-myofascial release techniques, a form of self-massage. Jessica will guide you through a whole-body tune up utilizing Yoga Tune Up balls. These massage therapy balls are made of a dense natural latex rubber, and can be used to target specific trigger points and high tension areas in your body by gripping and grabbing your skin, fascia, and multiple layers of muscles for deep relief. We will be focusing on common tension points in the modern human body so you can leave this workshop knowing how to better prevent injury, reduce pain, and improve performance in your daily life.
The slow nature of this work is deeply nourishing for the nervous system, while the practice of therapeutic release with the Yoga Tune Up balls will support a feeling of ease in the body by improving circulation and stimulating the lymphatic system. This is a great workshop for those seeking an accessible self-care tool to cultivate greater awareness of your body, alleviate chronic pain, and optimize total well-being.
About the instructor:
Jessica is passionate about sharing her knowledge of this unique movement modality with others. She received her initial training in the Roll Model® Method in 2018, and has continued to nerd out about fascia ever since. With her extensive training as a professional dancer, and a decade of experience teaching yoga and functional movement, Jessica brings an embodied wisdom to facilitating holistic movement education.
Cost: $55 (includes 1 pair of Yoga Tune Up balls for you to keep)

Radical Restoration Weekend Retreat
Experience blissful relaxation as a radical path to self-realization supported by an empowered intention process from the tradition of yoga. Retreat into deeply experiencing peace and contentment. Mindfulness, purpose, intention/sankalpa, and grace often result from the practices of Yoga Nidra, Restorative & Gentle Yoga, and Sound Healing. Yoga Nidra offers an optimal brain wave state while also opening and healing the mind-heart-body so that we can realize our selves more wholly.
Even for people who have struggled with meditation in the past, these practices resonate deeply. Our time together will include 4 practices in restorative yoga/yoga nidra (2 include sound healing) and a vikalpa/sankalpa/intention workshop. Paired with soaking in the natural beauty of Breitenbush, you will leave restored in clarity and presence.
