3-Day Fascia Release Retreat in South Africa
9 October - 11 October
This is the “destress exhale” you have been waiting for…
Join Fran Siebrits (fascia release educator, yoga teacher and breathwork instructor) for this informative and practical weekend designed for nervous system regulation, deep relaxation and pause. This retreat is held at the Wild Pod area of Bodhi Khaya; the peace and tranquility of this eco-sanctuary alongside the practices throughout the weekend are the perfect reset for your body and mind.
Along with her wellness expertise in fascia, movement, breathwork, personal development, natural medicine, and a myriad of massage and healing techniques, Fran will facilitate you to better understand and utilise a home-practice for regular stress reduction through the techniques of fascia release, breath and gentle movement.
These techniques are focused on neuro-muscular regulation, stress-management and Vagus nerve activation for relaxation.
No prior experience is needed – this retreat is suitable for beginners but will also provide insight and depth for those who already have an established practice.

Fascia Release, or more technically Myofascia Release, is a safe and effective technique to eliminate pain and restore motion in the body. It can assist your system back to homeostasis, leaving you feeling better for longer.
Fascia’s role is so significant that it cannot be removed from any human condition. It is a head to toe, inside to out, all-encompassing and interwoven system of fibrous connective tissue found throughout the body. Fascia provides a framework which helps support and protect individual muscle groups, organs, and the entire body as a unit.
The aim of Fascia Release Therapy is to stretch and loosen the fascia to move more freely. On this retreat you will learn a form of physical self-therapy for stress management, injury prevention and relaxation, accessible to anyone.
Fran will guide you through a specific form of Myofascial Release combining Ball Therapy (a form of self-massage through trigger-point release), Breath and Yoga Techniques.
