Autumn brings darker, colder days...the perfect opportunity to take an empowering journey inwards!
Continuously wandering from one thing to the next seeking peace and inner connection, knowing that there is more 'out there' that may give you a clue as to your purpose... it's exhausting! During a Yin Yoga session poses are held for a longer period of time in order to benefit, stretch and open the deeper muscles and fascia. Fascia alone needs a minimum of 90 to 120 seconds to begin to release during a stretch. Taking time to allow the fascia to stretch is essential to maintaining flexibility, range of motion and overall holistic well-being.
When you think of Yoga practice or meditation or any self-care, do you feel like you have to have the time to do it? That it has to be done over an hour or more?
It is easy to become disheartened if you feel that you want to commit to stretching every day, but there is no point because you don't have an extra hour to give yourself. But who says it has to look like that? What does it mean to harvest holistic health? Massage has a positive impact on Mind, Body and Spirit The awareness of connection of how you function as a whole being is often brought to light during a Massage. Clients will often notice that releasing muscle tension in one area has an impact on other muscles. It's always rewarding when they realize that they are not just a collection of parts. In recent conversations with friends, family and clients the topic invariably comes around to how disconnected people are feeling and that their energy just doesn't "feel right". It's especially prevalent among those who are sensitive to energy and/or empathic, however it doesn't seem to be leaving any one out. Chronic pain, limited range of movement and flexibility, pain from old injuries or surgical sites, tension held in the body as anxiety, ptsd and depression from recent and/or long ago traumatic events... all of these point to an tension in your Fascia. Craniosacral Therapy can help!
The Hips allow for a lot of range of motion for our legs The Hips are amazing ball joints created through the union of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia of the upper leg and pelvis. A major weight bearing joint for the body, the Hip allows for great range of motion for our legs, when we look after it. |
