Immersive workshop - Fascia, Form and Fluidity

With Carina Raisman - B.Sc, Yogatherapist, E-RYT500, ANQ, RITMA

Fascia, Form and Fluidity - For everyone

Two days to understand what’s really happening in your fascia when you move.
You’ll learn to practice mindfully, to hydrate and release the tissues
to restore fluidity and range of motion, and to reduce tension and inflammation.

    • You want to move with ease and regain fluidity (less stiffness in neck, back, hips, shoulders).

    • You often sit or stand for long periods and are looking for simple self-care to loosen up your body on a daily basis.

    • You practice (yoga or sport) and want to recover better, prevent compensation and reduce tension.

    • You want to understand, without jargon, the link between fascia ↔ breathing ↔ inflammation/pain.

    • You want short routines (massage balls, breath, micro-movements) to hydrate tissues and gain amplitude.

    • You're looking for a gentle yet effective way to relax and reconnect with your sensations.

    • Understand the role of fascia in overall health (movement, breathing, regulation).

    • Putting theory into practice: feeling form + fluidity in asanas, walking and everyday gestures.

    • Release & hydrate tissues: myofascial release using massage balls, breathing, micro-movements.

    • Experience Fascia Flow: a free-movement jam (with music) to integrate and feel in depth.

    • Tissue hydration: short routines, breathing, "sponge" movements.

    • Fluidity & mobility: more amplitude, less compensation.

    • Somatic reference points: listen, adjust, dose without hurting yourself.

    • Self-care: massage balls, body unwinding, micro-movements.

    • Stress regulation through breathing and body awareness.

    • Mini-routines to redo at home, in the office or before/after an activity.

Friday and Saturday are open to everyone!

Fascia, Form, and Fluidity - PRO

A group of people doing therapeutic yoga training in a room, with an instructor helping a participant to do a leaning posture with her hands resting on the floor, on yoga mats.

A third day devoted to translating these principles into effective therapeutic tools
—in groups or privately—with variations, corrections, and adapted cues.

    • You're a movement teacher or practitioner (yoga, masso, physio, osteo, kinesiology, somatics...) and want to update your knowledge of fascial tissues.

    • You'll want to integrate fascial work into group classes and private sessions (progressions, variations, cues).

    • You want to recognize frequent compensations and correct them without breaking the group's rhythm.

    • You're looking for a clear therapeutic sequencing framework (breathing, tissue hydration, tensegrity) that can be transferred directly into your work.

    • You accompany students/clients with persistent tension, hypo/hypermobility, high stress and want precise tools to regulate and release.

    • You want to refine your somatic language and develop states of consciousness conducive to fascial work.

    • In-depth theory: current fascial models, pain/inflammation, tensegrity.

    • Therapeutic sequencing: private & group, progressions, variations and safe dosing.

    • Corrections without breaking the rhythm: cues, somatic cues, choice of images.

    • Peer-to-peer mini-practicum: case studies, feedback, immediate integration.

    • Develop states of consciousness conducive to fascial work (attention, breathing, listening to tissues).

    • Advanced use of massage balls (zones, times, contraindications).

    • Therapeutic sequencing (group & private) focused on hydration, gliding, regulation.

    • Simple myofascial release protocols (tools, time, dosage, contraindications).

    • Tissue observation grid: glide, density, tone, sensitive areas, and more.

    • Cues & images to guide tissue states (attention, slowness, awareness).

    • Progressions by objective: pain, mobility, posture, breathing.

    • Typical scenarios: sedentary lifestyle, neck/shoulders, lower back, hips, sports recovery.

🔒 Sunday is only open to participants who attended the first two days.

✺ FAQ ✺

    • All ages: if you want to move with greater ease, understand inflammation/pain and learn simple self-care (breathing, massage balls, micro-movements).

    • Therapists & teachers: if you want to integrate fascial work into group classes and private lessons, with a clear sequencing framework.

    • General public (Fri-Sat): fascia basics, tissue hydration, myofascial release, Fascia Flow.

    • Pro (Sun.): in-depth theory, therapeutic sequencing, corrections, mini-practicum, simple protocols for private & group use.

  • No. Experience of movement (yoga, walking, sport) helps, but it's not compulsory. For the Pro Day, it's best to have already taught/practiced with clients.

  • Yes. We explain without jargon and offer concrete guidelines for safe practice.
