The fascia is a fibrous connective tissue web that extends into every structure and system of the body – from the lungs and heart to the digestive organs and in endocrine glands.

The fascia plays a key role in how we experience stress, heal from trauma and our overall sense of wellbeing.

The fascia can be nourished through stretching, sensory awareness, mindful movement and conscious breathing.

Here are a few gentle stretches for your morning ritual every day as a way to lubricate and nourish your fascia.
