FOAM ROLL

A form of self-myofascial release, foam rolling is based on the fact that loosening up the connective tissues increases muscle flexibility, in addition to reducing pain. In this class, you will learn a variety of different ways to use the foam roller, a cylinder shaped piece of equipment. You will practice rolling it over your muscles slowly, stopping and holding on sore trigger points until the tension is released. Applying sustained pressure with a foam roller can release tension in the muscles and tissues, and minimize constriction. Myofascial release can also help restore heart rate and blood pressure levels after an intense workout. Maximum 10 participants per class.
