Join Amber Hayes and Maggie Umberger for a soothing evening designed to help you wind down, release tension, and connect deeply with your body and breath.
Self-myofascial release is the practice of using various tools, varying amounts of pressure, and self-guided manual therapy techniques to target the layers of fascia in our bodies. Fascia is an interconnected web of connective tissue surrounding our muscles, organs, and bones, extending from head to toe. This practice offers numerous benefits, including hydrating the layers of tissue beneath the skin, improving blood flow and circulation, increasing proprioceptive awareness, and calming the nervous system.
In this class, we’ll use various tools to explore how our bodies respond to applied pressure as we work through the feet, legs, hips, mid-back, shoulders, chest, jaw, and skull. As we slow down and deepen our breath, we’ll cultivate awareness of how the body communicates, releasing stored tension layer by layer.
After this interactive, head-to-toe exploration, we’ll transition into a series of gentle Restorative Yoga postures to invite deeper relaxation and integration. Supported by props and stillness, these poses encourage the body to settle and the mind to unwind.
To close, you’ll be guided through a Yoga Nidra practice to invite profound rest and renewal. This meditative experience will allow you to settle into a state of deep relaxation and connect with a sense of ease and clarity.
Held on the night of the Full Hunter’s Moon, this gathering offers a chance to align your practice with the natural cycles of fullness, clarity, and release. Known as a time of harvesting and letting go, the Hunter’s Moon invites us to shed what feels heavy and to receive what brings nourishment. With its luminous presence, this moon illuminates hidden patterns and offers space for clarity and renewal. Our evening practices will flow with this energy, helping you ground into the body while opening to a sense of lightness, ease, and inner connection.
