40hrs MFR TTC

Embark on a transformative journey into the intricate world of Myofascial Release (MFR) with our new immersive training programme. Beyond the surface of traditional yoga practice lies a profound exploration of fascia – the intricate web that interconnects every aspect of our being.

MFR Training is not just about learning techniques; it's a gateway to understanding the profound impact of fascial health on our overall well-being. Delve into the depths of fascial anatomy, uncovering its secrets and unraveling its potential for healing and release.

Led by Anne Eberhardt, this 40hrs Myofascial Release (MFR) Training aims at giving certified yoga teachers or curious practitioners the knowledge, experience & tools to expand their teachings or self-practice to the world of MFR. Offered as a retreat format in the beautiful Lindenbühl in Appenzellerland, this is your chance to immerse into winter slowness.

// ABOUT ANNE

Adventurous, open hearted and passionate, Anne is a Yoga and Meditation teacher and educator, and the founder of Bubble Yoga. As a lover of movement, she has always enjoyed the balance of fluid vinyasa flows & mindful slower yin practices. A stress management consultant for corporate teams & university students, Anne is an advocate for rest, mental health & kindness, towards oneself & others. With over 1,000 hours of training & 4,000 hours of teaching under her belt, Anne is passionate about sharing her knowledge & experience with others, aiming to inspire them to believe in their own capacity to grow and know themselves, while nourishing support & connections through Community. She believes in and commits to ‘Yoga for All’.

I discovered myofascial release through my first training with my mentor Tiffany Cruikshank (Yoga Medicine) back in 2017 & it forever changed my yoga practice. Since then, I've brought tennis balls to every room I teach, for I believe it is an ideal complement to both active vinyasa practices & releasing Yin modalities. It is also a powerful therapeutic tool that you can use for yourself or to support others. Most of all, I see MFR as a personal self-care practice; a chance to connect deeper with my body, to explore & learn about its limitations & potential; an invitation to slow down, to feel, to breathe, to be nourished.
