Yin Yoga &
Restorative

Gentle & Beginner Friendly.

Yin yoga involves a series of seated and supine postures, typically held for 3-5 minutes at a time. During these prolonged periods of stillness, experience a feeling of surrender and quiet in the mind, that can melt away residual tension and stress. 

​

Restorative yoga Indulge in the profound tranquility of Restorative Yoga, surrender and rest in passive, supported positions, allowing tensions to dissolve and the mind to achieve a blissful calm. This transformative practice not only provides relief from daily stresses but also fosters a renewed sense of balance and healing for the nervous system.
 

How do these classes compare?

Both Yin & Restorative are slower classes with prolonged periods of stillness, excellent for busy people to relax the nervous system.

Yin aims to target and stretch the fascia or connective tissue, in a sustainable way- using props and gravity to assist. 

Restorative aims to use supportive shapes to relax and focus on comfort, breathing and presence.

Gentle Yoga & Restore

 

Gentle Flow Yoga | Beginner friendly

 

Gentle Yoga is a flowing practice designed to stretch, strengthen, and bring balance to the body, mind, and spirit. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a slower-paced class, including older adults, individuals recovering from injury, those new to yoga, or anyone who simply prefers a more easeful and mindful approach than what is offered in a General class.

Restore offers the gentlest and most nurturing experience on our schedule, designed to support deep rest, relaxation, and healing—both physically and mentally. This floor-based practice includes a combination of gentle yoga stretches, longer-held restorative and Yin-inspired postures, and an extended guided meditation. 
​

With a strong focus on calming the nervous system and creating a sense of ease in both body and mind, this class is ideal for anyone seeking stress relief, emotional balance, or recovery from physical strain. The use of props encourages comfort and support in every pose, allowing you to fully release tension without effort or strain.

​

Best of all, the entire class takes place on the floor—we remain grounded from start to finish (we don’t stand until it's time to leave!).

Yin n Yang

Flow Yoga | Beginner friendly

Yin & Yang class offers a beautifully balanced practice that blends the active, dynamic energy of Yang yoga with the slow, meditative stillness of Yin. The first half of the class features flowing, strength-building sequences similar in style and intensity to our General class—designed to warm the body, build stamina, and improve strength and balance.

​

In the second half, we shift into longer-held Yin postures, targeting the deeper connective tissues of the body to promote flexibility, release tension, and encourage a state of deep relaxation. This contrast between effort and ease creates a holistic experience that not only supports physical well-being but also helps to calm the nervous system and reduce stress.

​

Ideal for those looking to energize the body while also allowing time to unwind, stretch deeply, and reconnect with a sense of stillness.
