Class Descriptions
Gentle Yoga Flow:
A great class for beginners, Gentle Yoga is a combination of postures coordinated with the breath, performed at a gentle pace which allows time to be present in each pose. This class provides the opportunity to explore your practice, to find the play between strength and flexibility, stability and ease, and to gain a greater understanding of physical alignment and balance. Gentle yoga is for all levels of experience and flexibility.
Yin Yoga:
Yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It’s slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.
Yin and Nidra:
End your weekend on a mellow note by joining us for a blissful 75 minute workshop.
Class begins with a 40 minute Yin Yoga practice, which incorporates long, slow stretching intended to open up joints and connective tissues. A 35 minutes Yoga Nidra Practice, or Yogic Sleep, will follow where you will experience a state of extreme relaxation through a guided meditation intended to get you to the state in between consciousness and sleeping. Please dress comfortably, props will be provided to help deepen your state of pure relaxation.
Benefits of Yin and Nidra may include:
• Increase in circulation and flexibility.
• Releases fascia and improves joint mobility.
• Improve quality of sleep.
• Reduce long standing depression and anxiety.
Restorative Yoga:
The intention is to relax as far as possible into the postures, using as little physical effort as possible. The mind focuses on the breath in order to cultivate mindfulness and release tension from the body. Restorative yoga classes are relaxing and slow paced, with a whole sequence using as few as five or six postures which are held for long periods of time. Props are also used in order to allow the body to be in the most comfortable, supported position possible. This may include bolsters, blankets, blocks and belts.
