The Connected Body: Fascia for Better Movement

Friday October 16, 2026 8:00am - 9:00am CDT

In this experiential class, we’ll explore the body through its fascial connections using a blend of self-massage, gentle holds, and exploratory movement. By working with key “stations” in the system, we’ll unwind layers of tension and reawaken natural ease in how the body organizes itself.

Rather than isolating individual muscles, this practice emphasizes the continuity of the whole body. As sensation and movement begin to spread through these interconnected pathways, you may notice reduced tension, improved mobility, and a sense of buoyancy in both posture and movement.

This class is accessible to all levels and offers both immediate relief and practical tools for moving with greater comfort and connection.

Move + Breathe | Reset Your Nervous System

Friday October 16, 2026 1:30pm - 2:30pm CDT

Root Room

Most of us have never been taught how to recognize when our nervous system is stuck in "go mode." This class offers more than movement—it teaches you how to reset.

Learn how to intentionally connect breath with movement to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and improve how your body responds to everyday demands. Students will leave with simple, practical tools they can use long after class—in the office, at home, or anytime life feels overwhelming.

All levels.
Modifications and progressions will be offered throughout class, making this practice accessible whether you're brand new to yoga or have years of experience.
