FASCIA RELEASE + FLEXIBILITY = FASCIABILITY

The SiSu®-created Fasciability Specialized Training Program is a hybrid technique that was specifically designed to bring flexibility to a dancer's body.

Fascia is the biological fabric that holds us together; it is the connective tissue network. It plays a major role in every move a dancer makes. Fascia surrounds the tendons, ligaments, bursae, and all the tissue in and around the muscles. When Fascia becomes stuck together, it restricts blood flow and oxygen throughout the network, resulting in the body feeling restricted throughout.

Flexibility is the ability of the joints, or a group of joints and muscles, to move through a range of motion effectively unrestricted and pain-free. Dancers require a wide range of flexibility, but the process of achieving it needs to be executed safely and intentionally. Any seasoned dancer will tell you that this is hard to attain but of utmost importance!

Our Director has created a unique practice routine that combines fascia release with safe flexibility exercises, thus resulting in a much more mobile dancer. This method is based on the homogenous techniques from Yoga Tune Up® and Alixa Flexibility. Our Director has taken several courses with Yoga Tune Up® and is certified in Levels 1-4 with Alixa Flexibility.

Mobility tools are used, along with exercises for flexibility and fitness, that together enhance the dancer's athletic and movement capabilities. You will experience this method of teaching in SiSu's Acro and Cross Conditioning course in particular. The director believes this training is vital for any dancer wanting to protect themselves from injury while increasing their range of motion without risk of pain and undue damage.
