Prenatal Myofascial Release Online Course
$30.00
Course Description
Practicing yoga is established as a helpful adjunct to most women’s journey from conception and through pregnancy. But what about the myofascial release techniques that are gaining prevalence in teacher trainings and group classes? Myofascial release (MFR) is a self-applied therapeutic technique that targets fascia – the soft connective tissues that encase, protect, and hydrate our body head to toe. Giving extra attention to these natural features of fascia is beneficial during pregnancy to help address fluid retention, decreased circulation, restricted mobility, discomfort from muscular tension, and so much more.
