Have you every wondered if John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release is right for you? Listen to this excellent talk by Carol M Davis and reach out to me if you'd like to set up a free 15 minute consult. I have been studying with John for several years and am an expert-level practitioner and the local Boulder/Denver MFR study group leader. This gentle hands on form of body work is highly effective in reducing long standing and acute injuries, muscle tension, imbalances, PTSD, neck and back pain and more.

New Barnes MFR Here is a description of the development of, and science behind, the manual therapy John F. Barnes myofascial release.

Join us for this weekly hour-long gentle yoga class consisting of pranayama (breathing exercises), warm-up exercises, yoga poses for strength, flexibility, coordination. and balance, and relaxation time at the end of class. Rooted in the traditional yoga tenets of unity of body, mind and breath, this class is for those want a gentle, meditative class. Throughout the hour, participants will be led to carefully explore, stretch, and strengthen the whole system. You will leave class feeling relaxed, grounded, centered and perhaps feeling a bit taller and younger, as one recent student reported.

Lori began practicing yoga in 2000 and completed her 200-hour yoga teacher certification during a yearlong residential program at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts in 2004. While a member of the Guest Yoga Team at Kripalu, she completed her 500-hour yoga certification and earned additional certifications in LifeForce Yoga for Depression and Anxiety, Chakra Yoga, and Meridian Yoga and trained with renowned yoga instructors from across the country. In 2017 she traveled to India to deepen her studies in the Kripalu Yoga lineage.

Kripalu yoga, known as the yoga of compassion, or meditation-in-motion, combines mindfully practiced physical postures with a focus breath and self-awareness. The resulting transformation overflows from the yoga mat into daily life.

Lori is also a licensed physical and massage therapist in private practice in South Boulder.

Fixing You – What's in your web? Anyone looking at a typical anatomical man diagram will see deep-pink muscle connected to bone by white ligament and tendon. But when it comes to what moves the body, that is simply not the whole picture. In the last decade our fascia, which was long thought to be just passive body tissue, has begun...

New To Fascia Just starting out to learn more about fascia, Myofascial Release, Myofascial self-care, or how your fascial system may be affecting your health and well-bein...

I love this post which was shared on the Myofascial Release Insight Page (for patients and practitioners of MFR) Today "To inhabit the body is different from being aware of the body.... Most people do not live within their bodies. We relate to one another from the surface of our bodies." (I would suggest instead of "body" alone, we think "body-mind".)
"Living within the body-mind we experience true contact with another, resonance with the internal space of another person's body-mind, even without physically touching."
I would suggest that it is that resonance that is the wave form of true connection, of living life at its fullest, the heart of genuine empathy. In Barnes method mfr we understand this resonance, this energetic connection, as "channel 3" in contrast to the analytical left-brain, diagnostic "channel 5" energy of connection. Channel 5 helps us to get our bearings...to figure out where we want to begin our treatment....channel 3 allows the pure positive healing energy to flow from me to my patient and back again to facilitate that healing release of the ground susbstance of the fascia.

I saw this posted in the Myofascial Release page and wanted to share it. For those of you receiving treatment from me or any practitioner, please keep this in mind.

“When a pattern is finally
coming to an end, especially
one that’s been held in your
body for a long time, that’s
also when you’ll face the most
fear and the most resistance
because being set free
actually feels incredibly
uncomfortable and unsafe in
relation to continuing to play
out what you’ve always
known.”

I just got back from my week-long training in John Barnes' Myofascial Release Approach, reaching "expert" level as a practitioner.

I am excited to share this new level of skills with you. Visit http://www.pranaphysicaltherapy.com to book your session.
