In every class, regardless of intensity level, you are always encouraged to listen to your own body, rest when you feel called to rest, or play when you feel called to play! We honor your energy.

YIN YOGA π₯
Yin yoga is a more meditative approach to the practice with a physical focus that brings the body much deeper into the postures. Yin yoga works by applying moderate stress to the deeper connective tissues, the tendons, the fascia and the ligaments to help increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility. In this non-heated practice we will hold the postures for typically 3 to 5 minutes in length to allow time for these connective tissues to open. While we hold the postures we will focus on a meditative breath and awareness of the body and mind. Yin yoga is suitable for all ages/all levels and flexibility. Come to relax, renew, stretch and breathe. Feel free to exhale with a big, "aaaahhh."
Restorative Yin and Yoga Nidra meditation π₯
Restorative yin is similar to our yin classes that we offer, in that we will hold passive postures for several minutes. In restorative there is even less effort and intensity so that the goal is to experience relaxation and restoration. Each practice will include a guided Yoga Nidra meditation. Yoga Nidra, also known as βyogic sleepβ is a form of guided meditation that brings the practitioner to a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping. It draws attention inward by awareness to breath and body. It is a relaxing meditation that can lead to reduced anxiety and stress and to an overall feeling of calm. The class will be held in a non-heated room. Please feel free to bring an eye mask and a blanket.
*Classes listed as heated on the schedule are between 90-99 degrees. Classes listed as non-heated on the schedule are between 80-85 degrees.
