MFR Yoga
Experience the Difference
The unique approach of MFR YOGA™ leaves us feeling light, grounded, spacious and more open in our heart, mind, body and spirit. It will empower you to live life with passion and grace, while enjoying a pain-free active lifestyle.
What is MFR YOGA™?
MFR YOGA™ is a style of yoga envisioned and created by Grace D. Vedala, PT, 200-ERYT. This therapeutic yoga approach is truly unique and one of a kind. MFR YOGA™ emphasizes on integrating the triad of John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release (MFR), Unwinding and Rebounding, along with Pranayama (breathing), Myofascial Body Rolling and mind-body awareness while students are in yoga asanas (postures).The vision of this type of yoga and therapy approach is to help practitioners learn the foundational alignments of the body, how to release myofascial restrictions and develop an effective way to achieve a more fluid, healthy body. Everyone deserves a more fulfilling happy life.

How is MFR YOGA™ different from other styles of yoga?
MFR YOGA™, as a practice, will guide you on how to find myofascial restrictions in your body (anything that feels hard, hot or tender) so you can release and open up into your own freedom of movement. Our sessions are geared towards the students’ needs, helping you identify areas that requires healing, and accordingly, we design a series of gentle therapeutic yoga postures, MFR body rolling techniques, creative visualizations and home program. JFB-MFR and the Yogic principles will allow your body to move and undo the “kinks” of your energetic flow. All of the tools we teach can be done at home and can be incorporated into our students’ daily life, empowering them to keep releasing and truly heal themselves.
What are the benefits of practicing MFR YOGA™?
MFR YOGA™ balances out the Central Nervous System (CNS) guiding our students on how to move out of the Sympathetic Nervous System (fight, flight and freezing responses) into the Para-sympathetic Nervous System where we truly heal.
Without awareness there is no choice! Learning how to listen to the “fascial voice” and feel what is going on in our body is the foundation of what we teach. We have to feel in order to heal, then one can start the empowering journey of releasing the tight fascia and restoring balance back into the body.
