Relax the Nervous System

Assisted stretching is one of the most effective and enjoyable ways to help the body unwind. When we stretch another person with mindful presence, we offer more than mobility; we create ease, trust, and a sense of expansion throughout the body.

In this workshop, you’ll learn a clear, intuitive system of partner-assisted stretching that lengthens fascia, relaxes the nervous system, and opens pathways of movement and breath. The techniques draw from yoga, Thai massage, shiatsu, and myofascial release, blending structural intelligence with a gentle, human touch.

Whether you’re a yoga teacher, bodyworker, or simply someone who loves helping others feel good, you’ll gain practical skills you can use with friends, clients, students, or anyone who could use a little more ease in their life. No partner or prior experience needed; just curiosity and comfort with hands-on practice.

In this retreat, you will:

• Learn a complete, repeatable sequence to stretch someone safely from head to toe.
• Understand how to use your body weight and optimal mechanics, rather than effort, to create deep, easeful stretches.
• Develop the ability to “listen with your hands” for clear, compassionate, and confident touch.
• Cultivate trust, communication, and energetic connection in hands-on work.
• Leave with practical tools you can apply immediately in private sessions, classes, or with people you love.

Come prepared to move, relax, practice, and receive, and walk out feeling lighter and more expansive.
