FREE YOUR FASCIA WORKSHOP with FRAN
~ Collaboration between Oh!Padel & Fran's Shala ~

Drop that Stiffness | Ace Your Recovery | Backhand those Injuries | Spin those Niggles | Smash those Knots | Lob your Limitations

🗓️ Saturday, 31 JAN, 09h00 to 11h00 (arrive 08h45)
🎾 R450pp which includes a FREE coffee/drink after at Oh!Yum Cafe
📍Oh!Padel Club, Stanford

In this 2-hour Fascia Release Workshop, Fran will instruct you on her *4-step technique* to eliminate soft-tissue adhesions, freeing up the connective tissue and releasing areas of muscle tension.

🏅The aim of Fascia Release is to loosen and stretch myofascial lines to move more freely - improving overall flexibility, mobility and performance, plus reducing the risk of injury so you can truly feel like that *Golden Point Padelista!*

This is a specific form of Fascia Release known as trigger point therapy (and we will be using our good ol' tennis balls to do this) combined with the techniques of diaphragmatic breathing and dynamic stretching.

Just like a good racket, you will gain attributes of balance, durability and power from this workshop.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

While this is designed for active individuals and athletic folk, this workshop will benefit anyone who enjoys moving their bodies and wants to continue doing so well into their 100s.

BOOKING PROCESS:

Limited spots available - secure your spot on Playtomic App OR contact

WHAT TO BRING:

* mat/towel to sit and lie down on
* 3x 🎾tennis balls (there are a limited amount at the club so if you don't have please let us know)

A fun summer is already underway! As we wrap up the year, I reflect with much gratitude on what The Shala has become...

The combined energy of the studio, surrounding garden, peaceful neighbourhood and ocean are a sanctaury not only for me, but for clients as well (which was the vision from the beginning)....

From massages, fascia release, yoga, pilates, ceremonies and retreats, this space has supported a growing community since opening the doors only 9 months ago.

Once again I reflect on UBUNTU: I am because you are. Thank you to everyone for your love and support!

I am ending the year with a full heart, and wish you a peaceful transition into the new year.

See you in 2026,
♡ Fran

Celebrating life flowing in nature ~ the importance of regular movement ~

While we may need a bit more of a structure during the week with movement / exercise / training / practises, the weekend is usually a bit more flexible for most people.

But is still important to move, rather than couch🥔 your way through the weekend (yes, even on recovery/rest days)!

Make it fun, playful and different - your body and mind will thank you for getting off the couch... It doesn't have to be intense either - just keep the blood and lymph circulating. Breath. Laugh. Relax.

And, of course, enjoy the couch-time later on, as seen in photo 19 - just ask how good that nap was after an epic morning out in the sea and sun (happy birthday weekend, Sha, may the next year continue to be filled with wholesome habits).

Having moved from the city a year ago, there are many noticeable changes which have been incredibly wholesome for me.

Here are 5 things I love about living in a small coastal village:

1. Nature is on my doorstep, and my morning routine now involves walking or cycling from my garden gate for an ocean dip (no driving required) - immersing in the raw elements along with the inter-tidal marine life, plants, birds and other little creatures is so nourishing.

2. There are numerous swimming spots (non-polluted, clean and revitalising) all within a 3 minute drive, 7 minute cycle, or 15 minute walk.

3. There's no traffic, and "rush hour" is more like "rush moment" which is confined to the 5 minutes either end of the work day... additionally, there's no air-pollution!

4. There is less frenetic go-go-go energy, more opportunity for micro-moment connection with others, and therefore more authentic community engagement.

5. As an independent woman, I love how safe I feel walking alone in the neighbourhood, on the coastal trails and sitting out in the open when I venture out for a nature ritual (I don't feel I need to be looking over my shoulder constantly).

Growing microgreens hydroponically (in a water-based nutrient solution instead of soil)...

🫘 Featured here are mung-dahl (mung bean) microgreens which take 3 days from dry seed to germinating sprout, and another 3 days to these healthy micro-greens.

🌱 Microgreens are full of vitality ~ packed with up to 40 times more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than their mature forms.

Thanks for the trays, Gill - happiest greens ever in their new home!
