This month we continue the practice of “neural flossing” for the connective tissue. A practice of “fascia flossing” helps loosen the soft tissues that envelop the nerves, brings elasticity to the muscles and opens the joints. In each class, we pump, stretch, and “tease” the fascia to facilitate neural glide and improve range of motion in the connective tissue.
* All classes are held from 9:00 – 10:30am Mountain Time*

The iliopsoas muscle is the core link between the spine, pelvis and leg. We devote the entire class to facilitating glide within the psoas muscle. Using supine, side lying, prone, and standing positions, we slide, pump, rock, stretch and spiral the psoas muscle to help expand the inner breath.
 We continue our mobilization of the psoas using small subtle movements to facilitate the flow of blood and nerve that transit through the lower abdomen. With the support of a belly bolster we “floss” the psoas fibers in different directions in order to free up restriction in the deep abdominal compartment.
The central channel of the spine conducts prana to all tissues of the body. In this class we mobilize the entire spine by “flossing” the soft tissues that attach directly to the spine. including the paraspinal muscles. This practice helps reduce asymmetries in the paraspinal muscles, the spinal ligaments, spinal nerves and discs.
It is common for the ribs to get pulled down, torqued or twisted due to repetitive strain or trauma. In this class we mobilize the fascia around the ribs, intercostal muscles and diaphragm. By pumping, squeezing and flossing the fascia around the rib, we improve the flow of breath. At the end of practice we do pranayama to expand the lung.
The nerves that activate the hand and wrist come from the neck, passing down through the inside arm. In this class we slide, loosen, flex and floss the inside channel of the arm to facilitate nerve flow into the hand and wrist. This relieves neuropathy in the hand as well as carpal tunnel syndrome and osteoarthritis.
It is common for strain to accumulate in the throat and jaw due to stress, dental work, improper sleep posture and repetitive strain in the neck. In this class, we facilitate glide in the nerves that pass through the shoulder, neck and jaw. We do specific techniques to “floss” the fascia around the jaw, tongue and face.
