The Yoga of Fascia: Move Better, Age Better, Feel Better

Movement for Lifelong Ease

Many of us accept stiffness and reduced mobility as inevitable signs of aging — but it doesn’t have to be that way. The true key to lifelong ease and vitality lies in the health of our fascia: the continuous, three-dimensional web of connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, bone, organ, and nerve in the body.

Until recently, fascia was largely overlooked, yet current science now recognizes it as a dynamic, living matrix that profoundly influences flexibility, strength, posture, resilience, and even emotional well-being. When fascia is dehydrated, glued, or restricted, we feel stiff, achy, and old. When it is hydrated, elastic, and free to glide, we move with the lightness and grace of youth — at any age.

In this illuminating and deeply practical workshop, you will:

• Discover the latest fascial research and why it is revolutionizing modern yoga and movement practices
• Explore the anatomy and physiology of fascia through simple visualizations and gentle self-palpation
• Experience a fascia-informed yoga practice that incorporates varied, multi-dimensional movement, rhythmic bouncing, rebounding elasticity, mindful hydration cues, and restorative holds designed to restore glide, resilience, and spaciousness
• Learn daily habits (on and off the mat) to keep your fascial system supple, strong, and vibrant for decades
• Leave with tools to maintain fluid, pain-free movement and age with strength, openness, and joy

Suitable for yoga practitioners and teachers of all levels, this workshop blends clear science with accessible, transformative practice. Come unravel the hidden web that holds you together — and set it free.

Author of yoga books including Yoga: The Practice of Myth and Sacred Geometry and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras: Gateway to Enlightenment. Charles MacInerney is one of the finest teachers in the whole area of Yoga. I am sure that any subject that he would teach would be phenomenal. I try to get to his classes as much as I can because he always brings in new dimensions of Yoga that I do not always hear from other teachers. His wonderful exploration and in-depth knowledge of Yoga is so profound, and he is able to bring it into our everyday life. I feel his teachings of many different subjects are very new and leading edge, and he brings in his background in the sciences and he brings it to the field of Yoga.  Whoever is fortunate enough to be where Charles is, I really recommend that they try to attend his class as much as possible. I wrote an evaluation form for his class and I said “Whatever Charles teaches is where I will go.”  He brings such warmth and humor and realness to his classes, and connects at a very deep level with every student there. I just feel the students can’t help but feel this incredible love for this teacher as well as respect for what he is bringing to us and the enthusiasm and the generosity in giving to us all through his teachings.  – Rama Jyoti Vernon
