FAQs
Who is this retreat for?
Release in Palm Beach is for anyone who has an interest in exploring deeper inside themselves via yoga and energy medicine teachings.
What will this experience be like?
You will partake in yoga classes (good for beginners to advance) and learn about the healing aspect of Fascial Release. You will take home many tools for continued self healing using a foam roller. You will also learn how the body has it's own innate healing system.
What will the yoga be like?
Yin & Yang = the perfect balance. First part of class Brie will guide the group in an all levels vinyasa flow class connecting breath with movement. The second half of class she will get a bit deeper into the connective tissues with a long, slow and deep focus. The end result, a workout and a work-in.
What is Fascia?
Fascia is the "butterfly net" that we sit in. It is the dense, covering system that catches all the emotional, physical, and spiritual trauma we endure throughout our lifetimes. Fascia, carries the diary of all our lifetime experiences. Fascia, is the connective tissue system of the body, that has an appearance similar to a spider's web. Our Fascia, covers and encases every muscle, bone, nerve, artery, vein, and organs. Fascia plays an important role in the support and function of our bodies, since it surrounds and attaches to all structures. In the healthy state, the fascia is relaxed, it has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. When one experiences physical , emotional or spiritual trauma, the insult lands in the fascia and the fascia loses pliability over time. It becomes tight, hardened, restricted, and a source of tension to the rest of the body.
When our Fascia becomes restricted, we can lose range of motion, experiencing pain and discomfort. Myofascial pain differs from other types of pain because it originates in "trigger points," which are related to stiff, anchored areas within the myofascial tissue. Some of the healing shifts that you will feel when experiencing Fascial Release: Emotional releases, decreased pain & inflammation, enhanced movement, improved immune system function, and releasing our blocked energy to "flow" again, as it works through the meridian system. Maria will be teaching you "hands-on" techniques to help you release patterns of emotional and physical pain that have been holding you back from reaching your full wellness potential. She's here to help you heal the issues in your tissues!
