This series will be a mostly slow moving (although not all of the time), detail oriented classes with a focus on awareness. Honing your innate ability to sense the movements of your body is one way to develop awareness. Awareness will assist moving the many joints of your body safely and help to integrate your whole body. Spiraling the body in a variety of ways also assists in integrating the body. Changing habitual movement patterns (becoming aware of your own compensations) will be explored using, pure movement, breathing, toning the vagus nerve and spiraling. Yoga tools, especially a variety of balls will be used to compress and hydrate tissue and to allow bouncing in an effort to restore fascia to it's more functional elastic state. Some traditional yoga poses will be scattered throughout the class but more as points of comparison. Besides balls, rolled towels, blocks, straps, blankets, chairs and resistance bands. will be used. You will need to bring your own mat. This is not a flow or exercise class . Questions throughout the class are welcome and encouraged.

Yin is a quiet, meditative, slow practice, done mostly on the floor , with extra long holds . This class primarily focuses on increasing mobility in your joints , the health of our bones , and the stretching of fascia . While this practice is not the most physically demanding, its challenge lies in the mental endurance to hold passive stretches for up to 5 minutes. The Yin practice helps restore balance to our body and mind from our active “ yang “ lifestyles and a great compliment to those always on the go.
