Foam Rolling & Fascia Workshop: Hips, Legs & Core

Glow School on Tour!

When: Saturday, 29th August Time: 230-4pm
Location: Ponsonby Community Centre - 20 Ponsonby Terrace, Ponsonby

Do you have a foam roller hiding in a cupboard somewhere?

Or maybe you joined me for our first workshop and you’re ready to keep rolling—this time exploring your hips, legs and core?

Maybe you’ve rolled your calves once or twice, wondered if you were doing it right, then quietly tucked the roller away again. A new habit, soon forgotten.

OR…

Maybe you’ve never even owned a foam roller—you’ve simply seen me wiggling around on one on Instagram and you’re curious about how foam rolling might support your body too.

Whether you joined us last time or this will be your very first roll, you are in the right place, and this workshop is for you.

A foam roller is so much more than what you think it is.

I want to show you how to use it with confidence and excellent technique—so it can feel a little like having a live-in massage therapist and a Personal Trainer, available 24/7.

One simple, affordable tool to help soothe everyday aches and muscle tension, support mobility, activate strength and awaken your core.

Foam Rolling & Fascia.

Together we'll explore the incredible world of fascia - the remarkable connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, organ, nerve and joint in your body.

When fascia becomes stiff, dehydrated or overloaded through stress, injury, repetitive movement or simply life, it can contribute to:

• aches and pains

• reduced flexibility

• feelings of stiffness

• restricted movement

• poor posture

• muscular tension

• slower recovery

• reduced body awareness.

Using gentle, evidence-informed self-myofascial release techniques, we'll learn how to help restore healthy movement, improve mobility, calm the nervous system and create more ease throughout the entire body.

You'll leave understanding not just what to do, but why it works.

The science is exciting.

Research has shown self-myofascial release may help to:

✓ reduce muscle soreness

✓ support mobility & healthy range of motion

✓ improve circulation

✓ support recovery after exercise

✓ reduce feelings of muscular tension

✓ increase parasympathetic nerve activation and encourage nervous system relaxation

✓ improve movement quality

✓ improve body awareness and posture

Many people living with persistent pain and inflammation also find gentle myofascial release a helpful part of their overall pain-management toolkit. While it isn't a cure, growing research suggests improving tissue health, reducing muscle guarding and calming the nervous system may help reduce pain sensitivity for some people.

But here's my favourite part...

Foam rolling isn't only about feeling more free.

When your body can move more freely...

your glutes wake up.

Your core connects more easily.

Your posture improves.

Your breathing becomes fuller.

Movement starts feeling lighter.

Your body often begins doing what it was designed to do.

This time we’ll explore the hips, legs and core.

Last time we learned how to roll for the neck, shoulders, arms, and back.

This time we’ll dive deeper into the core, releasing and activating the legs and hips, too!

Expect massage meets muscle activation.
