30-Day’s Beginners Yoga

Fascial Yoga Passive Stretch Therapy (FYPST), tailored by Yoga expert Sumit Manav, is a unique form of Yogic Passive stretching that works on the Fascia, Ligaments & traction on the joints in the body.

Fascia, also known as connective tissues, are tissues that cover the whole body. This is what makes FYPST a unique form of stretching as it helps improve mobility & flexibility. In addition, it has significant neurological benefits by releasing muscle tension and improving blood flow.

So join this workshop to explore & experience FYPST in the most unique way to release tension and improve your flexibility.

8 Reasons that one must experience FYPST:

  • Fast Recovery stiff and painful joint
  • Improves body postures
  • Reduces stress
  • Improves Mobility
  • Improves Flexibility
  • Heals Fascia
  • Makes you happier

How does it work?

The individual who is receiving the stretch will lie down on the yoga mat, and should exercise a yogic breath while practicing Stretch Therapy with the FYPST Trainer. During this session the goal is to improve mobility and release muscle tension, thereby releasing the stress in the deep connective tissue.

Each stretch is held for the right amount of time (depending on each body type) so that the stretch reaches the deep tissue and ligament, which will then help to release the tension and heal the fascia. By stretching the neuromyofascia and not just the muscle, you will feel the difference in your body within one hour.

How does Fascia affect you?

Fascia provides the protective sheath around our entire body as a whole and also surrounds each organ and muscle for protection from outside trauma. Our fascia also plays an important supportive role to the musculoskeletal system by enabling us to perform functional activities like going from sitting to standing and being able to walk, jump and run. Blood, nerves, and muscles are enveloped and penetrated by fascia, allowing your muscles and organs to glide smoothly against each other. When you have fascial adhesions and distortions, this can cause poor blood flow, weaker nerve impulses, limited flexibility and range of motion, and a host of other physical ailments.

Pain and Fascia:

Intense pain, tightness, and discomfort are unnecessarily caused by distorted fascia. Distortions in fascia can pull, torque, and compress the body into malalignment. Studies show that fascial tension in one structure – such as the knee – can cause tension or issues in adjacent structures, such as the hip or ankle. Some common conditions you may have heard of like Plantar Fasciitis, IT Band Syndrome, and frozen shoulder are all attributed to distortions in your fascia.

6 steps to start your day!

Over the years, I have been observing people and I always ask my students- What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? Most of them say snooze the alarm, while some say they check their phones for messages on social media. If this is true and you are one of them doing so, you may want to take a break from this habit and introduce some good health into your lifestyle!

The world is changing rapidly and so are your lives. At this juncture, take a moment to breathe and make some minor adjustments so that the rest of it is smooth! To start it off, let’s shed some light on the start of our day and how it ideally should be, so as to keep us geared up till night. This 6 step guide would probably change things for you, the way it did for me:

1. Take your time: Wake up as slowly as you can. Once you open your eyes, take it slow, don’t rush. Your body needs time to awaken and ensure you give into it, without panic. Rub your palms together and let your face feel that heat. Turn your body to the side and sit up for a few minutes.

2. Meditate: We are all aware that morning is the best time to practice mindfulness. Once you’ve sat up, practice any form of meditation that you are comfortable with. If you are a novice, simply concentrate on your breath for 5 minutes.

3. Hydrate: For good health, it is essential to clean the body from within. Drink 2-3 glasses of lukewarm water in the morning before you head for your morning ablutions. This not only helps clean the bacteria within but also keeps the body refreshed through the day.

4. Stretch: Once you are fully awake and alert, stretch and warm up the body for a few minutes. Include joint movements, basic stretches, and yoga to increase awareness and energy levels. This will help you through the day and ensure you don’t feel lethargic or sleepy.

5. Focus: Each morning spend some time, writing down what your vision or goal in life is. Even 5- 10 minutes should work. Writing always helps you deal with your subconscious mind, and as you write you tend to remember more, find better solutions etc.

6: Eat: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and ensure you don’t cheat on it. Most of us tend to skip it, run through it or ignore it completely. This is probably the prime ground for ill health. Ensure your breakfast is like a king- nutritious, varied and hearty. That is good to keep the energy flowing through the day and keep your metabolism levels high!
