Masterclass: Fascia + Mobility

Service Description

Masterclass: Fascia + Mobility with Molly Lama ​Sunday, 1:00–2:​25 PM ​Oct 18 $30 Fascia for Dancers: Move Freely, Recover Better & Dance Longer Your body is your instrument, and the way you care for it determines how freely you can move, how well you recover, and how long you get to keep doing what you love. If you've ever noticed a stubborn tight spot that stretching never seems to fix, one side of your body moving differently than the other, an old injury that still seems to affect the way you move, or tension that keeps returning no matter how much you work on it, your fascia may be part of the missing conversation. Fascia is the connective tissue web that runs throughout your entire body, wrapping around and connecting your muscles, bones, organs, nerves and other structures. Because it's interconnected, restriction in one area can influence movement somewhere completely different. After injury, repetitive movement, stress, or years of compensation, the body can begin organizing itself around those patterns. In this masterclass, you'll learn how to work with your fascia through gentle, intentional movements designed to create more space, mobility and ease throughout the body. We'll explore: Why the place you feel tight isn't always where the restriction began How old injuries and repetitive dance patterns can create compensation elsewhere in the body Ways to support mobility, flexibility, fluidity and recovery without simply stretching harder How fascia work can support injury resilience and a longer, more sustainable dance practice How physical tension can interact with stress, emotion and the nervous system How to develop deeper body awareness so you can recognize what your body is asking for before discomfort becomes a bigger problem You’ve learned to express through your body. Now we'll learn to listen to it. You'll leave with a better understanding of your anatomy, simple fascia maneuvers you can continue using on your own and with your community, and a new way of relating to your body. not simply as something you perform with, but as something you can communicate with and care for. Dance is a conversation with your body. Fascia work can help you hear what it’s saying. Come curious. Leave feeling more connected, spacious and free in the body you dance in. Available in-studio and online.
