Myofascial Release (MFR)
in Mystic & Noank, CT
Fascia is the connective tissue that spans our entire structure, organizing us from head to toe in a web like fashion (no pun intended). It is the fabric that holds our skeleton up, wrapping around our vital organs, joints, nerves, muscles, and bones. Like the white part of an orange, fascia’s continuous fibrous web shapes our structure as it holds together and separates our component parts. Our fascia affects our force transmission, posture, movement patterns, muscle glide, pain receptors, and joint and nervous system function.
For purposes of this page we will focus on Myofascia, the connective tissue that surrounds our muscles. When these tissues become restricted from inactivity, injury, or repetitive stress, it can severely limit our range of motion, causing compensatory movement mechanics that contribute to poor posture, chronic pain, and tension in the body.
Whether we are working together in-person or online, our sessions are designed to unravel restricted areas of tension, restore your body’s natural alignment, and promote tissue glide, so you can move freely through life!

Signature MFR Workshop
This 75 minute full bodyworkshopincorporates soft-tissue mobilization and self-myofascial release techniques to improve range of motion, enhance performance, and restore the body’s natural alignment.
Using therapy balls and other props to target muscles large & small, this guided workshop will address common areas of restriction (such as neck, shoulders, hip), getting deep into the layers of fascia to help mobilize the tissue, restore muscle function, and release tension.
The session will conclude with breath work and mind-body centering practices to integrate the experience into your body & mind.
Myofascial release is one of the best ways to reduce everyday wear and tear on the body.
With tips you can use at home or on the go - this is a restorative experience you don’t want to miss!
Fascia Lines Mobility Series
This 5-week series blends yoga, functional strength, and myofascial integrated alignment & stretching along the body’s main fascia lines (or myofascial meridians), as mapped in Tom Myers’ Anatomy Trains.
These meridians form continuous pathways of connective tissue and muscle that help transmit force and coordinate movement throughout the body. By releasing restrictions and building strength along these pathways, this series supports more integrated and efficient movement while building multidimensional strength & mobility through your body’s full range of motion.
Each week’s focus targets a different line of tension within the body.
Week 1: Superficial Back Line
Week 2: Superficial Front Line
Week 3: Spiral Line & Lateral Line
Week 4: Deep Front Line
Week 5: Arm Lines & Functional Lines
