Unlocking Hips: Myofascial Tuneup
Unlocking Hips: Myofascial Tuneup – Restore Mobility & Release Tension
The Unlocking Hips: Myofascial Tuneup class is carefully designed to alleviate tension and restore mobility, focusing on the hips, lower back, and pelvis, while promoting a deep sense of full-body relaxation. Whether due to prolonged sitting, exercise strain, or stress, this session is an effective solution for relieving tightness and improving ease of movement in these crucial areas.
Utilizing foam rollers, TuneUp massage balls, and targeted stretches, this session addresses the fascia and muscles surrounding the hips, working to unlock tightness and stiffness. At the same time, guided techniques will help relax the body as a whole, ensuring a more profound release of tension and longer-lasting benefits. Each session begins with calming breathwork, designed to soothe the nervous system, and concludes with restorative stretches that leave participants feeling grounded, open, and refreshed.
Why Focus on the Hips? The fascia surrounding the hips plays an integral role in stabilizing the spine, supporting the core, and facilitating smooth movement. When tightness accumulates in this area, it can have a ripple effect, leading to discomfort or pain in the lower back, knees, and even the shoulders. Releasing this tension not only contributes to physical health, but it also promotes emotional healing, as the hips are known to store stress and emotional energy.
What Participants Will Gain:
- Relief from tension in the hips, lower back, and pelvis
- Improved posture, alignment, and range of motion
- Enhanced freedom of movement and increased full-body elasticity
- Improved circulation and better nervous system balance
- A calm, clear mind and a deeply relaxed body
This class offers more than just physical relief—it is a somatic experience that fosters a deeper connection with one’s body. Since the hips are often associated with stored emotional energy, releasing tension in this area can foster emotional clarity and a sense of lightness. This practice is a holistic reset of both the physical and emotional body.
By the end of the session, participants will feel rejuvenated, centered, and free of the burdens that weighed them down before.
Why Does Glow Focus on Fascia? Fascia is a thin but powerful tissue that envelops muscles, bones, and organs throughout the body. Both the lymphatic and neural networks reside within the fascia, which acts as a connective matrix that holds everything together. When the fascia becomes tight or thickened, it can lose its elasticity, leading to chronic tension, pain, and even arthritis. By addressing fascia health, we help restore balance and mobility, reducing discomfort and preventing long-term issues.
