Release for highly sensitive and sensory sensitive people

Feel free to bring eye-mask, noise-cancelling headset or any other tool you need to feel comfortable. We start by grounding ourselves with a gentle meditation. Then, we will move across the space.

Fascia Release - Letting go of physical and emotional tensions
Info: Fascia are the conjunctive tissue in our body. They cover our muscles and organs and are full of proteins. They play various roles including inflammatory ones. Releasing them helps you reduce pain, especially ongoing/ chronic pain. For almost 4 years, I practice fascia release activities almost every day, and they have helped me improved my life quality, movement abilities, recovery process after a surgery, and many more. I will guide with a set of exercises to release your fascia.
