FASCIAL MANEUVERS: A SOMATIC MOVEMENT WORKSHOP
90-Minute Hands-On Fascia Self-Practice
Led by Vanessa Williams Ramos | Aligned Body
Release tension. Reconnect with your body. Rediscover your natural flow.
What are Fascial Maneuvers?
Fascial Maneuvers is a gentle, body-based somatic practice that combines pressure holds, intentional breathing, and mindful movement to help release tension, reduce stress, and improve mobility.
Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles, nerves, and organs. When the body feels tight or restricted, working gently with the fascia can help improve ease of movement and body awareness.
Fascial Maneuvers uses simple, controlled movements and sustained holds to encourage the body to release tension and the nervous system to settle. There is no force or pushing, just gentle techniques that work with your body’s natural range of movement.
