Jan Rosehart
I was born and raised in New York State, and life has since guided me to my home in Virginia. I’m married, blessed with four wonderful children, and delighted to be a grandmother to three beautiful little souls. I am a yoga teacher though, in many ways, I feel yoga found me. While exploring different movement and fitness styles, yoga appeared almost by accident… yet it immediately felt different, familiar, and deeply right. What began as curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong path. I have been practicing and teaching for several years now, and the learning never stops. My offerings include Yin Yoga, Self Awakening Yoga, an approach that expands consciousness through the body’s innate wisdom and Hatha Yoga. Each style allows me to guide students into deeper awareness, gentleness, and personal transformation. Yoga continues to evolve with me, and I’m grateful every day for the opportunity to share its healing, clarity, and quiet magic with others.

Description

This class is designed for every body and every level of practice. Yin Yoga is a slow, introspective, and deeply meditative style of yoga practiced on “cool bones,” meaning the postures are held without warming the muscles first. The practice is guided by three foundational Tattvas:

Find your appropriate depth, arrive at the edge that feels right for you.

Stillness, settle into a sweet spot and commit to staying.

Time, surrender, soften, and allow time to work its quiet magic.

Yin Yoga gently targets the deep connective tissues of the body, the fascia, ligaments, and tendons, helping to increase mobility, soothe the nervous system, and invite profound release. Rooted in the Taoist tradition, Yin postures (or shapes) are typically held for at least three minutes, creating space for both physical and energetic transformation.

As Bernie Clark beautifully reminds us, “Yin is not supposed to be comfortable; it is practiced at the edge of uncomfortable/comfortable.” By using minimal muscular effort and embracing stillness, this practice encourages you to explore your edges, cultivate patience, and experience a calming reset for both body and mind.
