3 Tips to Soften Soreness

Last Tuesday I lugged a full laundry basket up the stairs to my office and realized… my glutes and knees were. so. sore. 😅

I had 15 minutes before my first client, so I did what I teach my members to do — I remediated it.

THANK GOODNESS I knew exactly how.

I felt like a rock star the rest of the day — 4 clients, 2 pick-ups, 1 playdate, and what felt like 7 hours of bedtime later… I wrapped the night with an Epsom salt foot soak and woke up feeling like a new lady.

If you want to soften soreness (fast), here’s what I did:

✨ Upper Leg Myofascial Release
Stack a massage ball on a yoga block (I love the Recovery Round from RAD Roller), prop onto your forearms, and place your thigh on the ball. Slow, deep breaths. Roll slowly. Find the sticky spots. Stay there. Let it melt.
This technique is featured inside my class Replenish & Release: Front Body — and I’m opening that class up for a limited time because it’s just so necessary.

✨ Red Light Therapy (LUMEBOX)
6–12 minutes on the highest setting = game changer for stiff knees + sore glutes. It’s one of the best investments I’ve made for tissue resilience.

✨ Epsom Salt Foot Soak
Warm water + mineral salts to increase circulation and lymphatic flow, decrease stiffness, and calm global soreness. I recommend this to almost every client (and even offer it as an add-on to private sessions).

And inside my Yoga Therapeutics Online Membership, you get access to the exact therapeutic tools I use myself — myofascial release, smart mobility sequencing, nervous system regulation, and breathing techniques that actually create lasting change.

Because soreness shouldn’t derail your week.
