These are things to be aware of that can have a huge impact on the benefits of your fascia training, including hydration, breathwork, check-ins, 3 Ps, gentle preparation, technique awareness and sequence awareness.

Also known as “Separating Heaven and Earth,” this is where you’ll learn to stretch and open the fascia from the heel of your hand to the heel of your foot, unlocking tight areas and improving your range of motion. Take your time, breathe deeply, and let your body guide you as we release tension and create space for energy to flow.

You’ll leave feeling lighter, more open, and deeply connected to your breath and movement.

The focus is on moving with intention, treating the practice as a meditative flow, and always prioritizing ease over strain.
