- Release - everyone has access to (metabolically) free elastic energy
- Restore - how every age and stage of fitness and ability can be optimised
- Refine - optimise whatever is best for the individual, however they are
Learning about the intricate and fascinating web of connective tissue, known as the fascia, will transform your practice and the way you perceive the human body. This is a fantastic resource for yoga teachers, therapists, and movement professionals as well as manual therapists looking for small micro-movements to give their clients for homework.
