Fascia is the most intelligent organ or system in the body – it is more than just connective tissue. It holds and integrates the muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments & organs, forming a continuous adaptable network throughout the body.
Everything in the body sits within the fascia, and when we work with it, we can reset naturally to relieve pain, stress & tension and reprogram body, mind & energy.

Poses are suitable and can be adapted for all bodies. No prior physical experience required.
