FASCIAL MANEUVERS
SATURDAY 12.00—13.30 / ENG / HELSINKI HEALING ARTS CENTER
This practice is specifically developed to help the fascia maintain or gain its flexibility and fluidity back. Each movement is designed to open the deepest parts of the body and release the tightness, trauma and definition from the fascia. It is fun easy to learn and will change the way you look at movement and breath. Working with the fascia also helps us access the para-sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system, which further helps us relax and thus loosen tension in the body.
