Shailene’s teaching style offers a mindful, heart-centered approach to yoga that welcomes students of all experience levels. This gentle flow class blends slow, intentional movement with steady breathwork to promote balance, mobility, and inner calm. Each session is thoughtfully adapted to meet the needs of those practicing, encouraging self-awareness and ease in every posture.

Gentle Flow supports the body in building strength and flexibility while calming the mind through conscious movement and presence. The practice emphasizes mindful transitions, alignment, and connection between breath and motion, allowing practitioners to release tension and cultivate a grounded sense of well-being. Students leave class feeling centered, rejuvenated, and at peace within themselves.

The focus of the class is an introduction to meditation in motion where slightly more advanced meditation skills are incorporated into the class. The class format will begin, rather than end, with Yoga Nidra. This allows you to start in a deep meditative state. The class continues with an intentional combination of gentle asana as well as meditation. The challenge is to be able to maintain a meditative focus (alpha and perhaps even theta brain states) while doing the more active part of yoga. With the eventual goal of being able to live your life, even off the mat and outside the yoga studio, in the moment. While this course is appropriate for beginners there is a strong emphasis on meditation.

Sean’s class meets Wednesdays at 5:30 PM.
