Join Maria Hillier, Certified Yoga Therapist, for a gentle and grounding three-part workshop series designed to soften physical tension, calm the nervous system and support deep release and restoration. Through the combination of self-myofascial release (SMFR) techniques and the slow, meditative practice of yin yoga, you’ll be guided through thoughtfully curated sessions that target areas of the body where stress, tension and holding patterns often accumulate.
Each two-hour session blends movement, breath, stillness and somatic awareness to support both physical release and nervous system regulation – offering a space to reset, restore and reconnect with yourself.
