Description

This Class is a combination of 60 minutes Yin practice with 15 minutes combined practice of Breathwork (Pranayama) and meditation. This is an All Levels class and Beginner-friendly.

Yin is the cool, lunar, passive aspect of the Yoga asana (posture) practice. Asanas are held for 3-10 minutes to allow the denser layers of the body to unwind. Yin opens the connective tissues versus the muscles and allows practitioners to experience greater range of motion and flexibility. This class is a perfect compliment to a Power Vinyasa or Ashtanga yoga practice and great for anyone who sits or stands during their day.

The second portion of this class focuses on Breathing and Meditating. It brings our full focus onto breath and the power it holds. The practice of breath control is the fourth limb of the eight limbs of Ashtanga yoga. Prana is the universal energy that flows through us and everything around us. This energy creates, sustains, and destroys because it permeates everything and is considered the "breath of life". Pranayama practices manipulate this force within us creating profound shifts in the mind and energy of the body. Most practitioners are familiar with Ujjayi breath, but in this class, we will explore various pranayama techniques to unlock the potential you hold and elevate your physical yoga practice.
