You will start by learning how to keep yourself safe when trying this style of self-care. Please don't skip over any of the introductory information. It's all meant to make sure you have the best possible experience. There is no fluff in this course! We will then review the principles of myofascial stretching.

You may want to decide what equipment you need early on to continue into the second set of releases. You'll want to be sure you have the equipment ready to go when you get there. You won't want to miss out! This method of self-care stretching feels amazing!
