Jen Mast and Amy Yapp invite you to join them for a 12-Hour immersive classroom experience that will provide you with the skillset needed to support your students and clients in their wellness journeys through myofascial release work. We will explore the unique, interconnected myofascial system and learn how it supports every breath we take and every move we make!

Using a variety of techniques employing therapeutic balls, Jen and Amy invite you to take a deep dive into the many benefits this explorative practice has to offer. Research shows that myofascial release work can effectively reduce pain, improve blood flow, and help us move better, all the while honing both proprioception (the ability to know where we are in space) and interoception (often referred to as “the hidden sense” because it reads our internal signals and is connected to emotions).

Together, we will explore guiding principles that will assist our students in approaching this specialized practice more skillfully and intentionally in order to make space for wellness and healing to emerge. We will also explore how the breath-fascia relationship combined with the teachings of yoga work together to benefit every body’s unique needs and expand our ability to listen and respond to the messages our connective tissues are always sending us.

*Yoga Teachers, Body Workers, PTs, OTs, Personal Trainers, Therapists, movement instructors, and anyone interested in learning more about the fascial system and its connection to improving wellness are welcome!!

Jen Mast

Jen completed her 300-hour at Kripalu with Integrative Yoga Therapy (IYT) in 2016 where she trained under Joseph and Lillian LePage and Maria Mendola (Integrative Functional Yoga Therapy). She then furthered her study and attended an intensive training with Maria in Tucson, learning various techniques for myofascial release, therapeutic movements and exercises to rebalance alignment and long held patterns.

In 2018, Jen completed training in The Roll Model Method® and a Ball Rolling Techniques Workshop with David Vendetti – both for myofascial release. Her extensive work with athletes, injuries and chronic illness in both group and private settings inform her teaching style which infuses safety, mindfulness, alignment principles, unique uses of props and functional therapeutic movements, and of course a lot of humor and fun! Through the pandemic, Jen has continued to train and deepen her own practice with Susi Hately, Functional Synergy™ and a Monthly Mentor Workshop with Jill Miller, Roll Model Method™.

Amy Yapp

Amy first discovered the healing nature of yoga as a young mother searching for something to help with a long list of persistent and confusing health challenges. Knowing she had found something very special, she could not help but share what she was learning with others and fell in love with teaching students of all ages who share her fascination with healing the body from the inside out.

Amy is a practicing yoga therapist and has been teaching yoga for over 20 years. She completed training in The Roll Model Method® at Kripalu and a Ball Rolling Techniques Workshop with David Vendetti – both for myofascial release. She completed her 200-hour teacher training with Johnny Gillespie of Empowered Yoga/Balanced Athlete. Most recently, Amy completed an immersive training with Ana Barretxeguren of Moving Fascia to explore the breath-fascia relationship through myofascial release techniques.

Amy specializes in Hypermobility and is a trainer for Susi Hately’s Yoga Therapy Certification program. She is passionate about helping her students discover their own unique path to wellness. Always focused on healing and prevention, fun and compassion are at the heart of her every connection.

BENEFITS OF PRIVATE INSTRUCTION:

Individualized Attention
Private lessons allow your instructor to get to know you and your body better so you can create a practice that is tailored to your needs, and safe for your body.

Accelerated Learning
Receiving more detailed instruction means you may “progress” at a quicker rate in whatever way that is relevant to your practice.

Adaptable for Everyone
No matter what your skill level or abilities, your instructor will adapt your private sessions to meet you where you’re at so you can get the most out of your time together.

Privacy
Sometimes, practicing with other people you don’t know can feel intimidating at first. Private sessions can help to ease you into a class setting so you feel more comfortable.

Physical Benefits for Recovery
Yoga and Pilates are great for helping with recovery from a sports injury (as long as you get clearance from your Physical Therapist and/or Doctor to add these to your routine). With the individual attention of a private session, the outcome may greatly improve how you perform in your sport or other activities.
