Roll & Release: A Myofascial Release Masterclass

Paola continues to celebrate 10 wonderful years of masterclasses and retreats in 2025!
Join Paola for Roll & Release—the very first masterclass Paola ever created. Since its debut in 2015, this class has evolved alongside the latest science, as well as the depth of study, embodiment, and “embrainment” Paola continues to cultivate. Treat yourself on this Mother's Day weekend, it is the treat you need.

Roll & Release is thoughtfully designed to support functional movement, enhance fascial hydration, and improve glide through a blend of massage ball work and purposeful movement sequences. This is your chance to explore the many ways to move and massage your body in an intelligent, mindful class that promotes deep relaxation without sacrificing stability.

You’ll improve your alignment, restore ease of movement, and invite limberness into your body. Small props are used to stimulate and rehydrate your fascia and muscles—leaving you feeling like you've just had a full-body massage. And honestly, who doesn’t need that?

But there’s more—this class offers a profound reset for your nervous system and breath.
Most of us aren’t breathing optimally. Yes, we're breathing—but our modern lifestyles (sitting too much, pollution, structural shifts, mouth breathing, etc.) can compromise the natural function of our diaphragm. This masterclass will help you reconnect with your breath, expand your lung capacity, and reawaken this essential, calming rhythm through targeted techniques.

“If you would foster a calm spirit, first regulate your breathing; for when that is under control, the heart will be at peace; but when breathing is spasmodic, then it will be troubled.”
— Kariba Ekken

In just two nourishing hours, swing the pendulum back toward inner calm and spaciousness. Give yourself the gift of grounding, and restore your sense of positive equilibrium—so the fight-or-flight response can soften, and you can return to a place of centred peace.
