Our teachers provide options in the poses for you to explore what fits best for your body each day.
YANG/YIN This class begins with setting an intention to balance the dark and light, masculine and feminine, sun and moon, hot and cold, the yang and yin energies in our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. The yoga practice will include yang style poses that are warming and strengthening. The last portion of the class will focus on yin style poses that are slower paced and longer held for deep stretching. Yin poses target the main energetic meridians in the body. Often yin poses are propped up with blankets, blocks and bolsters to allow for a deeper release for the connective tissue. This class is accessible to ALL levels.
YIN / RESTORATIVE Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with poses, or asanas, that are held for longer periods of time—three to five minutes or more per pose is typical. Yin Yoga works the deeper levels of the body/heart/mind: the connective tissues of the ligaments, fascia, joints and bones and the energetic channels of the meridians, nerves and blood system. Class accessible to ALL levels. This class offers restorative poses that are accessible to pregnant women.
YOGA BASICS This class sets a solid foundation for your yoga practice. This class moves at a relaxed pace, with a great deal of awareness to alignment and breath. Props and modifications to postures will be offered by the teacher so students can find the modification that works best for their bodies. Yoga Basics is a great class for beginners or anyone wanting to deepen their knowledge of yoga foundations.
