Description

Take a mid-day pause with Lunch Yoga: Stretch, a calming 40-minute class designed to release tension, increase flexibility, and restore your body. This class focuses on slow, mindful movements and deep stretches targeting large muscle groups to improve range of motion and ease tightness. At times, elements of Yin and restorative yoga will be incorporated to deepen relaxation, encourage healing, and support stress relief.

Lunch Yoga: Stretch offers numerous benefits, including improved flexibility, enhanced circulation, reduced muscle tension, better posture, and a refreshed mind. Perfect for anyone looking to unwind during the workday, this class provides the opportunity to reset your body and mind before returning to your daily routine.

The practice concludes with a soothing Savasana, allowing you to fully integrate the benefits of your practice and leave feeling relaxed, recharged, and ready to take on the rest of your day.

At One Soul, we believe yoga is for everybody and you do not have to be “bendy” or “stretchy” to practice. Our studio and instructors are from a trauma-informed lineage, which means we lead classes that nurture and challenge you in a safe and non-judgmental way. Variations of poses are given in each class to make our classes accessible regardless if you are new to yoga or more experienced. Our yoga studio is intentionally free of mirrors, encouraging you to focus on how your practice feels rather than how it appears. Your mat is your personal sanctuary, a space to connect with yourself and your journey.
