Class Descriptions
Yin Yoga
60 Minutes
Yin yoga is a slow-paced, passive type of yoga that incorporates long holds and deep breaths for a stretch that gets right into the muscle fibers. Designed to prepare the body for comfort in seated meditation, Yin yoga is the perfect complement to more vigorous Yang-based practices like Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Power Yoga.
Yin yoga involves a series of seated and supine postures, typically held for 3-5 minutes at a time. During these prolonged periods of stillness, the yogi experiences a surrendering sensory awakening that melts away residual tension and stress. Long Yin yoga holds are also known to release repressed or stored emotions, leaving the yogi feeling lighter, clearer and completely relaxed.
Yin yoga is an excellent practice for beginners. It gives them plenty of time to uncover the unique benefits of individual poses without worrying about tricky transitions. It’s also a tried and true technique for yogis of all levels to experience full body release. Those recovering from an injury or looking to lengthen versus strengthen will feel right at home in a Yin yoga class.
Slow Flow to Relax
75 Minutes
Slow Flow to Relax combines gentle yoga with guided relaxation (also known as Yoga Nidra) to help you to reduce stress and relax the body and mind.
Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of guided relaxation that has a profound effect on the body, mind and emotions. During the practice, you are guided through various stages of deeper relaxation, allowing the mind to become more relaxed and more receptive.
The practice can help release physical tension, reduce mental and emotional stress, increase creativity, aid in memory retention, help us to have a better night sleep, and have better overall wellbeing.
During the class, we begin with 45 minutes of gentle yoga, which helps us prepare for the deeper relaxation of Yoga Nidra. Then you will come to lay down on your mat and be guided through the systematic guided relaxation. All you have to do is listen to the guided meditation and find yourself relaxing and maybe even falling asleep.
This hybrid class is a wonderful practice for any experience level. It leaves the student feeling rested, relaxed, less stressed and many students have reported having a great nights sleep after practice!
Yin Yoga to Restore
75 minutes
This hybrid class combines Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga and the results are blissful!
In this class you will relax into longer holds, anywhere from 5-15 minutes, enabling deep relaxation. A wonderful practice to help you relax from a long work day or stressful week.
This practice is great to balance an active yoga schedule or to give yourself a break when you feel under the weather.
Our parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated when we relax into poses, which promotes a relaxation response and reduces stress in our bodies. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for slowing your heart rate and breath and increasing blood flow to your vital organs, among other things.
Suggested props: blanket, pillows, blocks, straps and maybe your favorite essential oils/diffuser.
