Yin & Restorative Yoga
Great evening practices to relax and unwind however it’s good to note that due to slower pace of these classes, particularly restorative, these can be mentally challenging classes for those new to the practices.
Yin / Sunset Yin
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced practice that will support your body to release tension built up through more dynamic paced yoga classes, gym workouts, or a busy life. Yin strengthens the muscle of the mind as you will be expertly guided to find your healthy point of resistance within each asana (yoga posture) and to find a place of stillness and peace both physically and mentally.
Yin yoga is focused on applying moderate stress to the connective tissues, tendons, fascia, and ligaments with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Most poses are mat based and tend to be held for longer periods of time. This meditative approach to yoga helps cultivate awareness of one’s inner stillness.
Class Intensity Level 2: Mild – Mild intensity with gentle, slow-paced movement.
