RELEASE — A Myofascial Release Workshop Susan Johnson, InsideOut Yoga + Retreats Sunday, December 6 · 3–5pm · $50/person That tight, achy feeling you sometimes experience? You can do something about it yourself. Myofascial release uses balls, rollers, and other simple tools to give yourself a targeted massage — working into the connective tissue that wraps every muscle in your body and stiffens with age, stress, and long hours in the same position. Over two unhurried hours, Susan Johnson teaches you where to place the tools, how much pressure to use, how long to stay, and — just as important — when to leave a spot alone. The research is encouraging: rolling and sustained pressure reliably improve range of motion without costing you strength, and appear to reduce next-day soreness after hard effort. You'll practice on the areas that ask for it most — feet, hips, shoulders, the upper back — and leave with a short sequence you can repeat at home in ten minutes. It's a natural complement to your GYROTONIC® Exercise and yoga practice, and a welcome antidote to the tension December tends to pile on. Susan founded InsideOut Yoga in 2010, is the founder and Chair of the Kekoka Yoga Retreat, leads retreats worldwide, and is currently training as a GYROTONIC® Instructor and a Yoga Medicine® Therapeutic Specialist.
