On our yoga mats, we are continually seeking space. We seek space physically through asana with static and dynamic movement. We seek space mentally and emotionally by revisiting our awareness and breath, again and again, to press pause on the continuous hum of mental noise. These techniques allow us to roll up our mats feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and at-ease in our body and mind. Though there is one other method you\u2019ve likely heard of, though probably not in conjunction with your asana practice. Yoga, meet myofascial release.<\/p>\n
Yoga Instructor, RAD<\/a> Master Coach, and myofascial release therapist<\/a> Denelle Jarro Numis blends these two healing modalities. Through her experience leading asana-based myofascial release classes, Denelle helps us to understand how releasing and mobilizing restricted \u201cfascia<\/a>\u201d\u2014the network of connective tissue that exists throughout the body\u2014isn\u2019t a task limited to your gym-cool-down. Instead, the combination allows us to experience newfound space we can gladly enjoy, both on and off the mat.<\/p>\n
