Rolling on the foam roller allows us to passively massage our muscles and other tissues, improving circulation and releasing tension. Like any form of deep tissue massage, rolling on the Foam Roller feels like a mix of pain and pleasure that is not everyone’s cup of tea… and yet, used well, it can help relieve nagging pains and avoid injuries related to muscle tightness. Approx 15 mins of the class will include body rolling – which will involve deep release, improve sensory awareness and re-seting the neural system, to boosts the body’s natural healing mechanisms
