Stress and old compensatory patterns can leave us feeling bound up, physically drained and even in pain. Myo-fascial Release (MFR) helps mobilize and hydrate tissue while easing tension, releasing trigger points and helping unwind unhealthy patterns. Join Lara for 2 hours of head-to-toe MFR and restorative yoga to empower your body’s own self-healing nature. Lara will teach about fascia (the connective tissue of the body), explain how it can limit our range of motion as well as affect our physical well being. Using balls, she will illustrate the underlying importance of MFR in your self-care routine.
In this workshop you will learn:
- Several MFR techniques using facial release balls
- Basic anatomy
- Healthy movement patterns
- Functional mobility
- Common dysfunctions
- Importance of MFR in self-care routine
Our workshop will conclude with luxurious restorative poses for an overall reset of the central nervous system. This workshop is perfect for anyone regardless of age, yoga experience, fitness level or background. Join us to get to know your body better, enhance your self-care and to feel better in your own body.

About the instructor: Lara Ederer
Lara was introduced to yoga in 2002 by a newly certified friend who needed practice students. Over the next several years she ventured in and out of the practice as well as different styles until she found her “home” in Vinyasa and Ashtanga traditions. In 2012 she completed her 200 Hour with Be Luminous with a primary focus in Power Vinyasa. Her teaching style is playful and sprinkled with humor yet it is evident that she is influenced by deep rooted traditions such as chanting, Pranayama, and Sanskrit. Her greatest influences are Tiffany Cruickshank, Amy Ippoliti, Sri Dharma Mittra, and Troy Lucero. Lara is also a co-founder of Yogalab Northwest, a grass roots collaboration that hosts world class teachers in the Seattle area as a way to celebrate the strong local yoga community. She has had the privilege of hosting and learning from Mittra, Ippoliti, Cruickshank, Kino Macgregor, Jason Crandell, and has several more scheduled events on the horizon. Lara is currently enrolled in her 500 hour training with Tiffany Cruickshank; when she’s off the mat she enjoys time with her husband Mark and son Liam.
