PHYSICAL APPLICATION

  • Experience transformative classes designed to enhance your mental & physical well-being with carefully curated classes.


    • The first class, your free preview, will dive into a short yet powerful practice targeting the Sacroiliac Joint. Using two tennis balls, you will be guided through a myofascial release technique that relieves the SI joint, sacrum, & lower back. This practice is designed to alleviate joint pain & tightness, offering accessible & effective pain relief.

    • The second class is a full one-hour session dedicated to opening the shoulders. Through a combination of Yin yoga poses & myofascial techniques, you will release tension, reduce pain, & increase mobility & fluidity in your shoulder joint. In today's digital age, where we often find ourselves hunched over computers & phones, addressing the emotional stress & tightness that accumulates in the upper back area is crucial. This class aims to provide much-needed relief & restore balance to the shoulder girdle, which plays a vital role in our posture & breathing patterns.

    • The third class will focus on the feet—a highly beneficial area. Through yoga & myofascial release techniques, you will improve hamstring flexibility, alleviate sore feet, enhance posture, & achieve overall alignment throughout the body. By tapping into the fascia connections within our feet, we can unlock deeper healing & promote the optimal functioning of our organs.

    • The fourth class is a full hour of Yin Yoga, accompanied by a myofascial release technique targeting the outer hip/IT band area. This practice is designed to release tension, ease spasms, & relieve discomfort. Regularly practicing this class will keep your IT band supple and mobile, contributing to your overall well-being.

By Kathrin Schneider on 7/12/2026

I just finished the course, and I absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for creating such a thoughtful, well-structured, and inspiring training. I learned so much and already have so many ideas for integrating it into my own classes. I especially appreciated the balance between theory and practice, as well as your calm and authentic way of teaching. The course was not only educational but also a wonderful experience on a personal level. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion. I truly enjoyed every part of it and I'm looking forward to continuing this journey. With gratitude, Kathrin

By Toby Hale on 5/23/2026

I really loved this course and the actual classes leave your body feeling so wonderful! I will have to agree with the others that left feedback. I find it hard to see exactly where she is placing the ball. I have watched a few Youtube videos of the same subject and I found they were better at showing where to put the ball. I did order a book from Amazon called "Roll Model" by Jill Miller and I am hoping her book will fill the blanks that I have. Overall, this course was tremendously insightful, and I am very fortunate that it sparked my interest to explore this subject further and really dive into learning more about it. What more can we ask for! Great job!

By Karima T Rebbah on 3/23/2026

love love love great teacher. I love the way she explains and goes into great details you can't find evewhere. this is a great course. and I enjoyed it I also recommend the yin and Chinese medicine this course is a great source for all yoga teachers who want to expand their knowledge and learn more about yin I will buy more of her courses I am happy with what I ve got so far. I don't get bored and I really finish the course. highly recommend!

By Magdalena Jargut on 2/25/2026

This course deepened my knowledge of Yin Yoga. I'm a certified Yin Yoga teacher, and this new approach to fascia is very interesting. It's a completely different perspective on Yin Yoga practice. It will certainly allow me to modify and diversify my classes and workshops, which I've been teaching for three years. I'm glad I found such a valuable course, because fascia and tension release are a very interesting topic for me. Thank you for the wealth of knowledge.

By Aria W on 1/27/2026

This is a beautifully designed course. Great audio and instruction. I would highly recommend this if you are interested in including MFR in your yoga classes or for yourself in your personal practice. It would also be helpful to have a diagram of where the balls are meant to be placed. Verbal description is good, however, the extra visual would be helpful for some learners.

By Jessica C Florian on 11/30/2024

This was such a helpful course. I really enjoyed the background information of myofascial release techniques. The nerd in me kind of wanted more information about the history and development of the technique, but she offered a good overview with enough information for me to do more research on my own. The classes at the end of the training were wonderful! Her voice is so relaxing, and she used some great cues that really helped me get as relaxed as possible. I definitely recommend this course for anyone wanting to add MFR techniques to their yin yoga class.

By Kerstin Haag on 7/9/2024

The course is a good introduction to facial release technique. I wish there were more picutres included like it was done in the part with the feet about where exactly to place the balls. Also more close ups during the class would have been helpful. Would have liked to get more info about the trigger points in general and how to apply them at different body parts to be able to create own sequences.

By Tieira Bear on 6/25/2024

This was a great course and provided some great intro information to the fascia. I would have loved to have a general manual of the course outline upfront and generally that's how most classes are that I take but I was able to take notes as I went along by stopping, pausing, and rewinding along the way but generally I have a course manual to follow along to and add general notes to make sure I'm following along with what the trainer is saying and that I have the correct positioning for fascia release. There was one section where it was hard to see where the ball was placed from the positioning of the camera and wouldn't be bad to have an insert a quick shot from the back or even closer up to see the positioning. Overall great course though.

By Alina Hever on 5/28/2024

This course gives an overall introduction on fascia, its role in our body, the benefits of fascia release techniques and more. It gives fundamental information and help for those who want to help themselves and others through these techniques. I loved the most the session about fascia and emotions (it is amazing to look at it through this new lens) and the practices after which I felt like a new person! Thanks for that!

By Stephanie Muth on 8/18/2023

I've been practising Yin Yoga for many years, but this course gave me a totally new experience of relaxation. The yoga session work so deep, it was a new experience of relaxation. Triggering the acupressure points helped me to feel a new stage of letting go and relaxing. Especially the foot session was sooo good, I keep practising it every morning since the first time I did the session. Thank you Serenity for this experience and all the knowledge about myofascia!
