We start this class with the 5 Tibetans, otherwise known as the fountain of youth. This body warming series will allow us to jump right into some Mat Pilates exercises that work the entire core - from your knees to your elbows. From here, we work our way into yoga asanas, taking the awareness of our core we just engaged into our yoga practice. We eventually wind down, finishing with a super nourishing shavasana and deep relaxation. My goal is for you to leave this class feeling you’ve worked hard, stretched it all out, and then integrated all that Prana (life force), positive effort and blood flow into your body to serve your highest good.

Gentle Yoga is a class structured around rejuvenating and healing the body. Yoga props such as blankets, blocks, bolsters and straps are often used for safe practice, and to allow the body to fully achieve each position comfortably. This class is held at a slower pace and focuses on stretching all areas of the body, while releasing stress and tension from joints and muscles.

Yin yoga is a very different type of yoga class than most of us are typically familiar with. Instead of stretching and stimulating the muscles, Yin yoga focuses on stimulating the connective tissues and joints, improving the flow of Chi or Prana through these areas. This is accomplished through passive holding of specific postures for 3-5 minutes, using the breath to ease the body further into the pose. Don’t let the time intimidate you! The Yin postures are not difficult to hold for these periods of time and are frequently supported by props to allow you to release and relax. Yin yoga is very meditative and can be a perfect complement to a more Yang or active yoga practice. A great class for all levels of practitioners!
