What is Cupping & How Can It Support Your Body?

Cupping is an ancient healing practice that works by creating suction to gently lift the skin and fascia, promoting circulation, releasing tension, and supporting detoxification.

When combined with restorative yoga, it enhances fascia release, energy flow, and deep relaxation, making it an ideal practice for unlocking stuck tension in both body and mind.

Benefits of Restorative Cupping Yoga:

🌀 Deep fascia release & improved mobility
💆‍♀️ Reduction in muscle & joint tension
🌿 Detoxification & lymphatic support
⚡ Increased energy flow & meridian activation
😌 Enhanced relaxation & stress relief

The Takeaway: More Than Just a Good Time

This 90-minute experience is divided into three sections:

🔹 Activate – Begin with gentle movement and breathwork to prepare the body for cupping and stretching.

🔹 Release & Restore – Cups will be applied as you settle into deeply restorative yoga poses supported by bolsters and props. Each pose is held for 3-5 minutes to encourage fascial release, improved circulation, and energy balancing.

🔹 Reintegrate – End with gentle movement and grounding techniques to help integrate the benefits of the session, leaving you feeling refreshed, open, and aligned.

What to Bring & Wear:

✅ Wear shorts and a tank top/sports bra to allow easy access for cupping.

✅Bring A Large Beach Towel

✅ Mats, bolsters, and cups will be provided.
