Yin Yoga + MFR for Tissue Rejuvenation | The harder you train, the "harder" you need to recover, so turn the dial down a notch in this class that combines the subtle + introspective practice of Yin Yoga with gentle self-massage techniques (MFR or myofascial release) to encourage healthy, hydrated, and resilient tissues.
Props needed: 2 therapy balls (or tennis balls or rolled-up socks), a yoga block or stack of books, and a thick blanket or towel. Feel free to also grab any other props like pillows or blankets to support you in this practice.
