FIRST THINGS FIRST

Start every day with
the Aura Ritual

Dry brush daily and apply the Aura S eaweed Detox Body Mist and Aura R ose Pepper Body Toning Oil to maximize your results. Focus on a different area of the body with gua sha each day.

If you experience bruising or marks from gua sha, wait until bruising has faded before working on it again.

This video will demonstrate the full Aura Ritual step-by-step.

Today's tutorial will focus on releasing stuck fascia.

TUTORIAL

Release Stuck Fascia With Gua Sha

One of the ways you can tell if the fascia is "stuck" is by trying the pinch test.

Give the area-in-question a little pinch between your thumb and index finger. If you’re not able to pull the skin away from the muscle, it's stuck. Gua sha is incredible for restoring the health of the fascia.

WATCH NOW

— 1 —
Begin with the Aura Sweeper, to boost circulation and prep the area. Long smooth strokes, at least 3-5 times.

— 2 —
Apply Aura Seaweed Body Detox Mist and Aura Rose Pepper Body Toning Oil to provide enough glide for the Aura Stone. Never gua sha over dry skin.

— 3 —
Use the Rounded End of our Aura Stone first to break up fascia and ease tension in tight muscles.

— 4 —

Smooth it out with the Wavy Edge, using long consistent strokes. Firm pressure is appropriate, but listen to what your body needs.
