What is fascia?

Fascia is the connective tissue that weaves through, supports and surrounds muscles, joints, ligaments, organs, cells, and everything in between. As well as being a fundamental component of our bodies it is an important factor in maintaining health, well-being and optimal physical function. If it’s restricted due to injury, immobility, or lifestyle; daily movement is diminished. Pain and tension are often the result.

CUSTOMIZED STRETCH PROGRAM

A customized stretch program based on your flexibility and mobility is a great option to help you maintain ease in between sessions. We can discuss how to incorporate your stretches throughout your day so it becomes second nature and a part of your healthy lifestyle.

SMALL BALL MYOFASCIAL RELEASE PROGRAM

Experience what it feels like to release your fascial system on your own! Through the use of small soft spiky balls and a specific routine, you’ll learn how to tap into your fascial system and have total control over the amount of release that suits your body best.

BREATHING TECHNIQUES

Social trends of today’s world keep us so busy we’ve become disconnected from our body and forgotten the calm, deep breathing we experienced during the first years of our life. You can change that by reconnecting, controlling, and modifying your breath. In other words, integrate conscious breathing throughout your day.

Discover the power of conscious breathing and:
      •  enhance your stretch program.
      •  bring calm to chaos.
      •  become better at managing stress-related emotions. 
      •  shift into a balanced brain state.
      •  strengthen your ability for good decision-making.

YOGA AND PILATES

Yoga and Pilates are two very trusted forms of movement and breath techniques. Learn how to add either one or both to your daily activities and receive the benefits of a stronger core and increased flexibility and strength. Both modalities have a powerful mind-body connection deepening your level of awareness. This ‘reconnection’ to yourself offers the opportunity to expand, enhance and amplify your fulfillment of life and work. 

MEDITATION

Meditation is its most basic form is mindfulness—meaning we become present and alert to what is happening in the moment. This is the complete opposite of those times where we are unaware of our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Meditation simply trains our brain to calm our nervous system and stay with reality over worries of the future or past.

Discover the power of meditation and:
     • diminish feelings of overwhelm and anxiety
     • increase feelings of contentment and happiness.
     • learn to ‘see’ and ‘feel’ your emotions with less self-defensiveness.
     • develop resiliency to strong, ineffective emotions and thoughts.
     • enhance focus and generate a calmer life.
