Join us for an 8-week yoga journey focused on releasing tension in the fascia, the stretchy tissue that holds your body together, and regulating your nervous system. Briefly, fascia release is key to improving mobility and reducing discomfort, while a balanced nervous system helps manage stress and promotes relaxation. Our gentle yoga classes combine mindful movements and breathwork to enhance both your physical and emotional resilience, contributing to your overall well-being in a subtle yet profound way. Whether you’re new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, come and experience a nurturing and welcoming space for self-exploration and connection. These sessions will be held in a small group of people (max 12 participants) to ensure personal attention and a supportive environment
