Fascia: The Hidden Web Connecting Your Body

What is Fascia?

Fascia is a thin but strong layer of connective tissue that runs throughout your body. Picture it like a 3D web that wraps around your muscles, bones, nerves, and organs—keeping everything supported and connected. When fascia is healthy, it’s smooth and flexible, allowing your body to move with ease. But when it becomes tight, restricted, or dehydrated, it can cause stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion.


Fascia and Massage Therapy

Stress, injury, or even too much time at a desk can cause fascia to tighten or “stick.” Massage therapy helps release these restrictions by warming, stretching, and applying gentle pressure to the tissue. This not only eases tension in the muscles but also improves circulation, helping nutrients and oxygen flow where your body needs them most.

If you have questions about fascia or want to experience the benefits for yourself, our team is here to help.

How Our Therapists Work with Fascia

Because fascia surrounds and connects everything in the body, it requires skill and sensitivity to treat effectively. Our therapists are trained to recognize when tension stems from fascia and know how to encourage it to release. Each session is tailored to your body’s unique needs—whether that’s easing chronic tension, supporting recovery, or simply helping you move and feel better.

Benefits of Releasing Fascia

When fascia is free and hydrated, the whole body feels the difference:

  • Better flexibility & mobility – easier, freer movement.

  • Reduced pain & tension – especially in stubborn spots stretching can’t reach.

  • Improved posture – release helps the body realign naturally.

  • Faster recovery – supports healing after activity or injury.

  • Deep relaxation – fascia is full of nerve endings, so release feels profoundly relieving.

Hatha Yoga is Coming to Shine On Soon!!!


Hatha yoga has been around for thousands and thousands of years. Some believe the tradition to be 5000 years old while others think it dates back as many as 10,000 years. This disparity in time is due to the fact that when Yoga was first practiced there was no written word, no paper, no way of transmission other than the spoken word. So there’s no way to know for sure how ancient this practice is. What we do know is hatha yoga is a total life philosophy incorporating how we relate to the world, to ourselves and how to attain inner peace.


In the yoga sutras, (196 sutras or aphorisms written in Sanskrit around 400 A.D.) Patanjali describes hatha yoga as consisting of eight limbs or disciplines. This is known as the eight fold path. (More on this later!)


Two well known schools of yoga were derived directly from these sutras and today’s modern styles including ashtanga, Iyengar, anusara, yin, power, vinyasa, restorative, Jivamukti, kundalini moksha, Bikram, etc. all originated from these schools.


So in essence hatha yoga is the mother of modern day Yoga as we have come to know it. With this deep history and broad definition there is a massive variation of what can be offered in a hatha class. But generally it embodies this eight fold path and incorporates relatively slow paced, deliberate asanas (postures),pranayama(breathwork)and meditation.


In my classes I like to stay true to the roots of yoga to allow the holistic embodiment of it’s philosophy. I also like to incorporate some anusara and alignment based modifications using belts,blocks,and bolsters. This makes yoga accessible to everyone and helps beginners and people with injuries or chronic conditions get into correct alignment, bringing awareness to their bodies and breath, and calm their minds.
