Slide & Glide Myofascial Release: Lower Body
SI Joint - Sacrum & Low Back Support Classes

47m
Today we have a different approach to how we release the fascia in the lower body. We have explored manipulating the tissues using props like tennis balls and blocks up to this point and today, our focus turns towards a more "slide and glide" approach where we bring circulation and rhythm to the fascia. This actually lubricates the layers of connective tissue with what is called "ground substance" which consists of many different elements like hyaluranic acid and collogen. Having this fluid wash over fascia is imperative for it's mobility. So today, we flush it out on the mat in a flowy, glidey (that's the technical term, ha) kind of way.
We focus a lot on the back leg today including hamstrings, calves and feet. Our practice also opens up the outer hips and hip flexors.
You'll need: a ball, 2 blocks, blanket and yoga strap.
