Myofascial Release & Yin Relaxation Evening

Myofascial Release and Yin relaxation evening at Notley Yoga – Roll to release
Friday, October 2, 2026
7.15 – 9.30pm
Investment: £30

This in-person Myofascial release and Myo-Yin workshop – Roll to release – is an evening to unwind, release and relax very deeply.

Many of us feel tension stored in our bodies; feel the mental and emotional weight of carrying so much and find slowing down, resting, very difficult. We can feel tension show up in lots of ways, from a physical tightness or niggle somewhere that we just can’t release, to feeling stuck in a cycle we just can’t break.

This is a 2 hour 15 minute practice that combines the power of Myofascial Release (MFR), Yin yoga, meditation and deep relaxation to help you create the conditions where change and release feels possible.

Suitable for beginners through to regular yogis, this evening Roll to Release workshop will explore the wonderful benefits of using MFR, Yin (in this context, ‘Myo-yin), deep relaxation and meditation to unwind in a deeper level. Together, we will discover how it feels to soften and release with gentle, intentional movement. Using balls, yoga blocks, body weight and touch, we can invite the connective tissues (fascia) to release.

Our practice will culminate with a guided meditation that is extremely gentle and soothing.

Expect to finish with a sweet treat and a grounding cup of tea, before heading home feeling spacious and connected.

This practice is suitable for all. You are simply invited to move with awareness and compassion  for your unique body and mind.

This is for you if:

* You are carrying tension, mentally and physically, and feel you can’t shift it;
* Find rest difficult to practice and make space for in your life;
* Would like to slow down, feel held and supported and create the conditions to let go.
* You might not have a regular Yoga or Myofascial Release practice, but are curious to explore ways to relieve tension in your body.

What to expect:

We will meet in the beautiful studio at Notley Yoga, just outside of Chelmsford and 30 mins from Colchester. All props are provided, unless you would like to bring your own.

The session will begin with some time to set intentions, outline and explain the practice. You will then be guided through the practices and encouraged to pause where you would like to. The practice will finish with a guided Yoga Nidra (lying down meditation).

What is MFR?

Myofascial release is an intentional technique that targets the body’s connective tissues, the ‘fascia.’ You might think of the fascia like a web of connective tissue that covers everything inside the body. It connects muscles, bones, nerves and organs. When our fascia is healthy, it’s smooth and responsive. But when we experience stress, injury, heightened emotions, our fascia can become stiff and dense.

Myofascial release, or MFR, works to release the tension and by applying targeted, slow and sustained pressure to specific areas. Using props such as yoga blocks, balls, body weight and touch, we can invite the fascia to soften and release.
