GRAB YOUR BALLS (AND BLOCKS) AND LET'S GET TO WORK (aka, sign up for the training).
Self-Myofascial Release Training
you already know this isn't just about the balls
“One of the most grounded and inclusive trainings I’ve taken.” - SMR YTT Grad (2025, Seattle)
This is about evolving your teaching, not replacing it
"Elena makes biomechanics clear, applicable, and actually fun. This training gave me tools I use every day in my body and in my teaching." - SMR YTT Grad (2025, Seattle)
Hold space in a different way
Make your yoga class one-of-a-kind—by actually addressing how people feel
MAKE SPACE TO TEACH (AND FEEL) DIFFERENTLY
This isn't just about learning SMR techniques. We’re creating an experience where *you* get to feel the effects of slowing down enough to tune in, and what that means for how you teach.
You don't need to change who you are or cram more into your sequencing.
It’s about supporting the already powerful things you’re doing in a way that reflects your depth, skillset, and evolving leadership.
And it's an opportunity to offer your students a new way to feel their bodies: one that’s sustainable, intelligent, and empowering.
In this training you'll learn:
The fascia science you actually need. Understand how it moves, why it matters, and how to teach with that knowledge clearly and confidently.
A full toolkit of SMR techniques to support recovery, downregulation, and nervous system-informed cueing, plus exactly when and how to use them in real classes with real bodies.
Sequencing SMR into real classes for real humans (because students don't show up as a blank slate)
How to teach myofascial release as an embodied practice, not a performance (aka the art of paying attention)
Teach like you
THIS ISN'T ABOUT MEMORIZING A SCRIPT
It’s about giving you adaptable tools to teach in a way that feels, like, well, you.
It's about understanding the language of fascia, sensation, and slow, thoughtful inquiry.
Yes, you'll learn. But you’ll also feel. Once this clicks in your own body, there’s no going back to business as usual in your teaching (and that's a good thing :))
Who this is for
Sick of teaching the same class 72 ways? Want to offer more than “open your hips and breathe”? You'll walk away from this training with tools you can use, a clearer sense of cueing with purpose, and a fresh take on the body that'll make your classes feel more alive.
And if you're not a teacher? You're welcome here!
If you’ve been chasing relief or a deeper connection to your body, I got you. This is your weekend to unravel some tension, ask questions, and get curious (with props!).
