Restorative Fascia Stretching with Jennee
Restorative Fascia Stretching
Presented by Jennee Taylor
Mondays || 7-8:15pm EST
What is Fascia and Why do we need to stretch it?
Fascia is a connective tissue that forms a continuous web-like structure inside of us, surrounding and interpenetrating muscles, bones, organs, nerves, and even blood vessels, from the top of our head right down to our toenails. In fact, fascia is what forms our bodies, helps us to stand up straight, and pretty much gives us movement or lack of movement.
Stretching the fascia consistently helps to gently release ‘knots’ in our bodies, allow more flexibility, facilitate good posture, and even help calm the nervous system.
Benefits of Restorative Fascia
Increased flexibility – better quality sleep – increased Range of Motion – reduced pain – improved posture – decreased compression of joints – improved energy – Just to name a few!
What can you expect in class?
Class is broken down into 3 parts:
(1) Activate – we will warm up our muscles (which warms up the fascia) by doing some myofascial release techniques along with active stretching of the entire body
(2) Relax and Restore – while on the floor, we will use bolsters and other equipment to relax into 4-5 stretches, holding each stretch for 3 -5 minutes, focusing on breath work, allowing the fascia to relax into a stretch
(3) Reform – we will gently wake up our muscles allowing the fascia to slowly reform to a new restored form.
