Everything is connected
Fascia and movement with Alexa Nehter
​Feb 17th 2-6pm

This workshop is informed by Alexa’s extensive studies and practice of Scaravelli Inspired and Iyengar informed yoga, her passion for fascia science and her studies in Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (as developed by Tom Myers). You’ll walk away with hand-outs and ideas to enrich your practice and teaching with the findings and understanding of the contemporary fascia research; and a feeling of increased fluidity and ease in your body.

When speaking about flexibility, our fascia, the connective tissue that holds us together is in main focus. This doesn’t mean that muscles are no longer important, but it’s our fascia that is responsible for movement, stability and flexibility. You’ll be guided through the following:

– the 101 of fascia (beyond what you may already know through your yin or other teacher training modules)
– the myofascial meridians (Tom Myers) and their meaning and utilisation in your yoga class
– how to cue/teach myo-fascial awareness
– how to train fascia effectively and safely for hydration, elasticity and glide
– basic myo-fascial self-release techniques (are you still rolling your ITB?) for teachers and student adjustments
– a delicious fascia vinyasa flow

This workshop is aimed at teachers and interested yoga students, addressing the need of the yoga community to be informed, on the forefront and part of the conversation in the realm of the new paradigm (and language) of anatomy.
A comprehensive manual and myofascial self release balls are all included.

​Investment $95

This training is open to students but it's structured to focus on yoga teachers. If you have done a yoga teacher training solely in yoga it is unlikely this material would have been part of your syllabus.

"There's always something new to learn, or a different perspective on something you already know so well. I attended Alexa's workshop, Fascia and Myofascial Meridians in Yoga, and she shone light on something I am already passionate about...Yoga, but she also inspired, what I believe to be a 'true practice' - a deep, intimate connection to our body and soul."
