Publisher's Synopsis
Myofascial release refers to the technique of applying gentle pressure on 'trigger points' to release tension in the connective tissues or fascia that bind and support our muscles, organs, bones, joints, nerve fibers, and other structures of our body. Releasing this tension helps to alleviate pain and improve flexibility and mobility of the body, which in turn improves your yoga practice.
The goal of this book is to show how teaching asana should include fascia, connective tissue, as an integrative and necessary step to bring yoga asana fully into movement therapies in the West. This approach integrates Eastern and Western techniques and is truly a unique opportunity to explore ourselves from a somatic level of awareness while moving through and changing patterns that keep us from living more freely in joy and health.
