An afternoon of Myofascial Release with Betsy Shilling is an afternoon that can’t be beat
Myo-Who? Myo-What?

If you find yourself craving a deep tissue massage, this could be your answer. The trick here is that you are giving yourself a deep tissue massage, using these cute little balls.

The message learnt from today’s workshop:
“Your body is the piece of the universe you’ve been given.” -Geneen Roth
The whole entire universe, all of the bits and pieces, molecules and cells that exist and I was given the gift of my own body. I am my piece of the universe. I hold the great responsibility of caring for that piece of the universe.

What if I cared for my body, as deeply as I utilized my body?
Right then and there I decided, it was time. Time to start caring for my body by giving back love to my body. Time to be thankful for this body that I was given. It is time to be thankful for these bodies that work so hard to support us. My body, my bit of the universe deserves to get a massage every once and awhile. And how cool is it that I can use the tools of myofascial release to provide that massage to myself?! I love that.
