In this retreat day Imogen is excited to share with you her knowledge and passion about working with the body's fascial system.

​

She will guide you through two different practices a dynamic flow practice in the morning and a yin practice in the afternoon both will include myofascial techniques that will help you to begin to understand and embody your fascial body, ultimately exploring how we can listen, feel and respond to bodily sensations from within for a more intuitive led experience.  

Imogen will also lead an interactive workshop where she will unravel the simple science behind this body system - giving you an opportunity to ask questions. 

​

What will be covered:

• What is MFR?

• The role the fascia plays in the immune system

• The fascia as a sensory organ, it's relationship to the nervous system and it's ability to communicate

• Ways a varied yoga practice supports healthy fascia

• 5 key areas of your body to work with at home

​

Katie will also be offering MFR treatments.  What is a Myofascial Release treatment?  It is a safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. 

Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create myofascial restrictions that can produce pressure on pain sensitive structures, and don't show up in many of the standard medical tests ands scans. 

Unlike Swedish massage, Myofascial Release treatment is performed directly on skin without oils or creams, which enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.

Treatments are 30 minutes and £40. Please contact Katie directly to book.
