🌿 Wednesday Wellness: Feel Better in Your Body with Fascia Release 🌿
Your fascia is the secret web that holds you together—literally!
🧬 It’s the connective tissue that wraps around muscles, bones, organs, and joints, creating a full-body network of support and sensation.
But here’s the catch:
When fascia becomes tight or dehydrated from stress, inactivity, or injury, it can lead to:
🔸 Stiffness
🔸 Limited range of motion
🔸 Chronic tension or pain
🧘♀️ How Yoga Supports Fascia Health:
✅ Slow, sustained stretching (like in Yin Yoga) helps rehydrate and release stuck fascia
✅ Mindful movement promotes elasticity and ease
✅ Deep breathing increases circulation and helps tissues become more pliable
✅ Awareness + intention in practice gently unwinds tension patterns
💡 Try This at Home:
Try this beautiful restorative yoga pose as demonstrated by our teacher Anne Tessier []:
✨ Reclined Butterfly (Supta Baddha Konasana)
– Lie back on a bolster or cushion
– Place blocks or pillows under your knees for support
– Let your arms rest wide, palms facing up
– Breathe slowly for 3–5 minutes, letting the body soften
Fascia responds best to gentle, sustained care. The more you release, the more freedom you feel—inside and out.
