Slower, mindful movements, breathwork, and meditation promote relaxation, flexibility, and stress reduction. Expect gentle challenges that you can adapt as your body needs - make the class gentle'ish when you take "upgrade" options offered, or keep it truly gentle when your body says "no thank you." Gentle classes will always include elements of mobility, balance, strength, spinal and back health. Props are always used to help support the body. Level 1-2

Yin is a passive practice designed to get to deeper connective tissues so that over time you have more flexibility and mobility. It is practiced almost completely on the floor. Poses are held passively for longer periods of time using props for support. Although similar to Restorative, Yin is intended to stretch, or stress, tissues in a passive manner. This is a quiet, meditative practice. Self-Myofascial release using therapy balls is sometimes incorporated. Level 1

Restorative yoga is a gentle, slow-paced practice focused on deep relaxation, stress reduction, and restoration. Poses are supported by props and are held for longer periods. Restorative is similar to Yin with the important distinction that Restorative emphasizes relaxation and nervous system regulation. This is a quiet, meditative practice. Level 1
