Did you know that fascia is the hidden webbing that connects, supports, and informs every movement you make? This fascinating, ubiquitous, and still mysterious tissue is sensory, communicative, and deeply intertwined with your muscles, organs, bones, blood vessels, and nervous system. When it’s hydrated and mobile, you move with ease. But when it’s restricted tension, discomfort, and dysfunctional movement patterns emerge.
If you suffer from any kind of muscular pain, insomnia, shallow breathing, or if you lack proprioception or feel easily anxious and stressed, then join us 7-10 June 2025 for “Healthy Fascia, Happy Body”, our 35hr Myofascial Roll & Release Course. You’ll dive deep into all things fascia: what it is and how it functions, its role in movement and stretching and its intimate relationship with the brain. You’ll explore how fascia senses and responds, learn what myofascia is, and practice essential strategies for keeping your fascia healthy, fluffy, and resilient.
Using targeted techniques with therapy balls, you’ll learn evidence-based rolling protocols to release tension in the neck, back, buttocks, hips, shoulders, forearms, legs, and feet. But we don’t stop there. We’ll also explore the fascia of the torso, including essential techniques to release the diaphragm—the body’s main muscle of respiration. By restoring optimal breathing mechanics, you’ll tap into your body’s ability to down regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and enhance overall movement efficiency.
Whether you're a movement educator, therapist, or an avid mover looking to deepen your body literacy, this course will give you the tools to mitigate pain and transform tension, refine mobility and proprioception, and improve breath mechanics.
Join us for 4 days of learning in a fun environment and you’ll walk away with:
-Effective self-care tools that can ease stress, relieve pain, and improve sleep
-A deeper sense of awareness and embodiment
-A more balanced nervous system
-Healthier fascia
-A basic skillset to teach your students, family and friends how to roll and feel the amazing benefits, too!
Space is limited so register today and let’s get the ball rolling!
Upon completion, you will be qualified to teach effective roll and release techniques that can help with pain mitigation, stress reduction, deeper relaxation, reducing headache, posture improvements, increased range of motion, and better sleep.

About Alicia:
“I love drawing students into a kinesthetic realm of varying sensations as an invitation to go deeper into their bodies, and therefore, themselves. Holding space for another’s courageous, inner journey is a deep act of love. To do so carefully and with the intent to serve is undeniably the most rewarding life I can live. This has been my dharma for years….”
Alicia Cheung was first introduced to yoga when she was 8, but it wasn’t until 1991 at the age of 23, that she began studying yoga more formally. As Assistant Director of the Wellness Program at the Claremont Resort and Spa in Berkeley, California, she had the good fortune of mentoring with Nancy Minges, who exposed her to the teachings of Angela Farmer, Craniosacral Therapy, Feldenkreis and more. As time went on, her interests expanded to studying Iyengar yoga, Vinyasa flow, Yin Yoga and MyoFascial Release Techniques.
Life took a turn when a snowmobiling accident left her with a fractured spine. With the help of a holistic healer and yoga therapy, she fully recovered, and in 1996, she was inspired to begin studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Northern California. In 1998, she apprenticed with Dr. Xiao Ching Hu in Taiwan, learning many classical methods of treatment. It was in this same year that she also ventured to Nepal, and among other things, completed her first 10-Day Vipassana meditation course.
“After my first meditation retreat, I understood the power of the mind and how it can be either useful or a huge obstacle in our moment-to-moment experience. When the mind is ruled less by self-imposed limitations and more by love and kindness, this is truly the gateway to freedom.”
In 2001, she became a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, moved to Thailand, and never looked back. There she worked as a freelance yoga teacher, nutritional counselor and acupuncturist for several detox centers and spas such as Five Senses, Napasai, The Sanctuary, The Spa, and Health Oasis.
She remained connected to her yoga tribe in the States, and in 2007, returned to California and began working with YogaWorks. With her deep love for yoga, wellness and travel, she created their Destination format for their world-renowned Vinyasa Flow program. What started out as one training in Thailand has now grown to trainings in Bali, Hawaii, Fiji and Morocco.
Alicia remains an avid student of Vipassana meditation, and has completed an 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program based on the work of Jon Kabat Zinn. Her increased fascination with the body and the brain led her to four levels of Craniosacral Therapy studies with Leonid Soboleff, as well as participating in human dissection with Gil Hedley. Alicia creatively infuses all of her studies into her teachings. She is forever grateful and indebted to all the many teachers throughout her life.
Her students call her, “a loving, knowledgeable, intuitive and passionate life coach, teacher, and mama bear.” Alicia loves facilitating deeper journeys of self-discovery, and has lead over 30 teacher trainings in Bali, Hawaii, Thailand, Japan, Morocco, Fiji and California. She currently teaches 200-hour Vinyasa Flow trainings for YogaWorks, 100-hour Yin Yoga and MyoFascial Release trainings, 50-hour Chinese Medicine Nutritional Therapy programs, and several retreats and workshops throughout the world.
Alicia is founder of Samdhana Yoga (Bali) and a very happy mother to a teenager, Olivia.
