Releasing Neck, Shoulders, Back & Hips Series 1

Explore the connection between fascial lines and traditional Chinese medicine meridian pathways through Myofascial Release, Slow Yin stretches and Mindful Breathwork. Each week focuses on a different fascial line and its associated meridian pathways to help you explore tension, move with greater ease in 4 weeks.
Before we begin, you'll complete a short intake form to check in with how your body feels, where you're holding tension and what you'd like to work on. At the end of Week 4, we'll check in again so you can notice your progress over the four weeks as well as celebrate as a community over a Tea & Chat after class.
