Mindful Mat [Flossing]

Your facilitator

In Sapphire Pilates’s words

Let's floss [our hamstrings & more]. This special FLOSSING iteration of Mindful Mat is all about the fascia. The fascia is a network of connective issue that wraps around, protects, and bolsters basically every structure in our bodies. We can think of there being essentially three types of tissue: healthy muscle tissue, fascia, and scar tissue. We don’t have the same receptors to the brain from fascia and scar tissue as we do from healthy muscle tissue. So, these denser tissues can often generate a surprisingly high amount of resistive force. Flossing can help dissolve this denser tissue, hopefully resulting in a sense of release and ease. In this 75 minute practice, we'll explore a myriad of dynamic stretches/flosses along meridians from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). And just like our regularly scheduled Mindful mat classes, expect a thoughtful sequence of movements that will challenge your whole body with the intention of developing healthier movement patterns that will directly affect how you move through your daily life.
