IT Band-Aid: To Roll or Not to Roll?

The IT Band is arguably the most famous fascia on your body. In the general public this tract suffers with regular attacks from hard foam rollers no wonder it’s so misunderstood. This infamous aponeurosis is wrongly maligned as being the cause of pain for many, but it’s actually just a connective tissue messenger conducting force transfers from several powerful muscles. This class teaches safe techniques to help your entire hip/femur complex reframe its approach through an embodied understanding of your IT Band.

After doing the IT Band-Aid: To Roll or Not to Roll class, we recommend you also do the following class from the Library:

In this series of MOVE, BREATHE, ROLL – The Logical/Mythological Series, Jill focuses on common myths and misperceptions of practice that still persist in yoga and movement classrooms today. Each class tackles a myth that unrolls like a sticky mat when you filter it through anatomy, kinesiology and physiology. Join Jill on this fun myth-busting journey that also translates into other popular movement forms including pilates, CrossFit and Instagram Inspo. Each class will attempt to unpack a myth from a historical/contextual lens and take you through Tune Up Fitness movement practices that help your body to be a lab of curiosity and discovery.
