Myofascial Release Certification

DEEPEN YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF FASCIAL HEALTH

Feel more in tune with your body and explore how fascial health relates to states of mind while becoming certified in self-myofascial release (SMFR)—a somatic, embodied practice that enhances mind-body awareness, interoception, and nervous system balance.

Join psychologist, educator, and experienced yoga teacher Diane Malaspina as she guides you through daily guided practices that demonstrate a variety of uses and sequences for self-myofascial release. Through hands on experience, lecture, discussions, and practice teaching, you will learn:

• Connective tissue anatomy, purpose, and facial trains  
• Uses of SMFR in and outside of yoga classes including contraindications and benefits 
• The cycle of repetitive injury and ways SMFR supports healing 
• Tools and modifications for student accessibility  
• The continuum of techniques and related purposes 
• Cueing, demonstrating, observing, and sequencing 
• Guided practices to experience the embodiment of the techniques 

NOTE Participants will have an optional homework assignment (required to receive the certificate) that involves creating a sequence and practicing it regularly to experience the benefits of consistent practice. They will also receive a digital manual. Upon certification, this training is eligible for 20 hours of continuing education credit for yoga teachers registered with Yoga Alliance.
