Therapeutic Yoga: Self-Massage, Fascial Release, & Take-Home Tools
with Jess Duncan

A gentle, therapeutic 2-hour workshop designed to help you reconnect with your body, release built-up tension, and learn simple self-care tools you can use at home.

This session blends slow, mindful movement with guided self-massage and fascia-focused release to support nervous system regulation and ease chronic holding patterns—especially in the hips, shoulders, and back.

You’ll be guided through accessible techniques that invite deep listening, softness, and relief. Breathwork and quiet reflection are woven throughout, with space for optional community sharing.

Hands-on support may be offered only with clear, ongoing consent, and participation is always optional.

What to Expect

  • Gentle therapeutic yoga and slow, mindful movement

  • Self-massage and fascial release for hips, shoulders, and back

  • Guided breathwork for nervous system support

  • Time for rest, reflection, and optional sharing

  • Take-home tools and practices to continue your care at home

Who This Is For

  • Anyone feeling tight, tense, or disconnected from their body

  • Those seeking gentle, non-strenuous movement

  • People interested in somatic practices and self-care tools

  • No yoga experience required

What to Bring

  • Comfortable clothes you can relax and move in

  • Curiosity and a willingness to slow down

  • All props provided (feel free to bring your own if you prefer)

A Note on Care & Consent

This workshop is rooted in choice, safety, and respect. All hands-on support is optional, consent-based, and can be changed at any time.
