Renee Blacken
Renee’s journey with yoga began when she sought a gentle and holistic approach to complement her active lifestyle as a competitive endurance athlete and long distance runner and quickly discovered the transformative nature of yoga. For Renee, yoga isn’t about another form of exercise, but rather a deep practice of self connection that has brought healing and growth to her everyday life.
She is a passionate advocate for trauma informed practices and her inclusive classes are well loved for their physical and mental inquiry, cultivation of curiosity, courage, strength and sense of humor with inspiring playlists.
Description
This class is suitable for anyone looking to explore the benefits of yoga without getting on the ground~it’s also the perfect work day break! A fusion of chair and standing postures with adaptions offered for everyBODY!! Expect all the benefits of our other yoga classes but we’ll use the chair as a prop for support, balance, or advancing poses as appropriate for each participant. This accessible practice is gentle on the joints so there is no weight bearing through the knees or wrists! A variety of options will be given throughout the practice to allow exploration in finding the optimal balance between support and challenge to meet you where you are at the moment. Expect gentle movement emphasizing the development of body awareness, balance exploration, mindful breathing, and time for reflective meditation designed to reduce stress and promote personal empowerment.

**Ideal for those who may have a more restricted movement, struggle to get from floor to standing, have experienced vertigo/lightheadedness or other conditions that make typical movement classes challenging.
