Island Yoga, Koh Yao Noi                                                                    

SMR is a highly effective technique, which facilitates the release of muscle fibres (myo) and connective tissue (fasciae). It is a type of self-massage that focuses on correcting restrictions of movement brought about by excessive sitting, bad posture, imbalanced athletics, emotional stress, injury or ageing.

Explore safe and effective techniques using blocks and small balls to break down scar tissue, relax the muscles, correct posture, and restore mobility and function. When fascia is damaged it tightens and pulls in a specific area of the body restricting movement in the rest of the body also. We will uncover ways to release the upper body, mainly for shoulders, neck and chest, the lower back and hips. Enhance structural balance, energy flow, self-awareness and understand your body in a whole new way.
