Description
Step into a calm and nurturing environment with Gentle Vinyasa class. This class focuses on slower, mindful movements synchronized with breath, creating a meditative and soothing flow. Unlike faster-paced Vinyasa classes, Gentle Vinyasa takes time to move through each posture, allowing for deeper connection, longer holds, and an opportunity to fully stretch and open the body.
This class encourages students finding what works for their own needs while improving flexibility, balance, and strength in a supportive way. The slower pace encourages body awareness, helps release tension, and fosters a sense of relaxation and clarity.
Class will include centering and grounding techniques, gentle breathwork, use of props for adaptations as needed and savasana.
Benefits for the Body:
Gently stretches and strengthens muscles.
Enhances joint mobility and overall flexibility.
Improves balance and stability.
Benefits for the Mind:
Promotes mindfulness and reduces stress.
Cultivates a calm, meditative state through breath-focused movement.
Provides space for reflection and self-care.
This class ideal for all levels and those seeking a gentle yet effective practice. Gentle Vinyasa offers a harmonious blend of movement and stillness that nourishes both mind and body. Join us to flow with ease, find balance, and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
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.
