Prioritize self-care in 2026 with this monthly offering.

Roll & Release is a down-regulating, self-massage, self-myofascial release class. What makes Roll & Release different from other restorative practices? Roll & Release uses Yoga Tune-up balls for targeted muscle work, while restorative yoga is a passive practice of deep relaxation using props to support the body completely. Yoga Tune Up is a form of corrective exercise that uses the balls to pinpoint and release tension that we carry in the body (sometimes without even realizing it!), while restorative yoga focuses on eliciting a deep relaxation response by eliminating any physical sensation of effort or discomfort.

We’ll take a different focus each month in 2026. November’s theme is Breathing Into Recovery.

We’re all constantly on the go. Between busy schedules and nonstop demands, we tend to overuse, underuse, and misuse our bodies, often without realizing it. But healing doesn’t happen when we’re running on overdrive. It happens in the body’s restorative state, when the nervous system is calm and regulated. And one of the most powerful tools we have for getting there is the breath.

This month, we’ll explore the 5 Ps of the parasympathetic nervous system: Perspective, Place, Position, Pace of Breath, and Palpation. Together, they offer simple, practical ways to shift out of “go mode” and into rest and repair. We’ll focus on the upper back and chest, using rolling techniques and the Coregeous ball to release tension and support deeper, fuller breathing. Come ready to slow down, breathe deeply, and give your body the time it needs to recover.

Regina has been practicing yoga since 1999 and teaching since 2011. She aims to create a supportive and safe environment for all students, so that each may honor their own body during practice.

This is an in-person class and is limited to 18 participants.
