Somatic Yoga & Myofascial Release with April Showman
Saturday, October 17 | 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM (Noon)
Exchange: $30
Join instructor April Showman for a deeply restorative therapeutic workshop designed to release accumulated stress, chronic tension, and trauma from both your physical and subtle body.
This gentle session beautifully blends the slow, mindful movements of Somatic Yoga with the targeted compression of Myofascial Release. Sometimes, the most subtle, quiet movements have the most profound effects on our well-being. To elevate your healing experience, April will also offer hands-on Thai Yoga assists throughout the workshop to deepen your relaxation and maximize the benefits of these powerful modalities.
The Modalities Explained
Somatic Yoga: Slow, gentle, and repetitive therapeutic movements that retrain the nervous system, eliminate stiffness, and safely unlock repressed emotions and physical tension.
Myofascial Release: The deliberate use of yoga props to apply gentle pressure to specific areas of the body, massaging tight muscles and melting away knots in the fascia (connective tissue) to restore your natural flow of energy.
Key Benefits
Pain & Stiffness Relief: Reverses chronic muscular tension and improves overall mobility through effortless, non-strenuous movement.
Deep Nervous System Reset: Creates a safe, nurturing container to step out of "fight-or-flight" and let go of emotional weight.
Heightened Interoception: Develops a richer, more compassionate connection to the subtle sensations inside your body.
