Myofascial Yoga for Stress Reduction
6 Myofascial yoga classes to release mental and physical tension and help you feel more relaxed, resourced and focused.
Introduction
What to expect
This is a 6-part program designed to be used as a resource for challenging times. Each session has a unique theme to help you face what ever is happening with more ease. Some of the classes are geared toward rest, tension release or recovery, while others are intended to increase energy and help restore balance and harmony.
How do I join?
This program is available as part of your EkhartYoga membership. Not a member yet? Register for your two-week free trial to take part.
Suggested schedule
We recommend that you try each class once to get an idea of the specific benefits. Once you have a feel for this practice, it's helpful to pick and choose depending on your current situation. For example, you may notice shoulder tension during times of stress and want to repeat to the Release Shoulder Tension practice over and over. Or you may find the Mindful Cardio class boosts depleted energy and you love to utilise this practice when you need a little lift in energy. The more you do these kinds of practices, the more you'll start to notice and honour what you need on any given day.
Who is it for?
This program is for anyone needing a boost or some rejuvenation during times of challenge or stress. All classes are suitable for any fitness level. You are welcome to follow along and modify the poses to suit your needs.
What you'll need
You'll need a few simple props for this program, including: 2 or 3 blankets, yoga blocks or cushions, belt / scarf, 2 small inflatable balls or rolled up socks, a water bottle.
