Candlelight Yin Yoga

Yoga for Active Adults

This form of yoga uses long, passive holds to work on the deep, dense connective tissues of the body—tendons, ligaments, and cartilage—that are difficult to energize and open. The longer holds facilitate deeper opening, increased flexibility especially in the spine and hips, and rehabilitation for the joints and muscles. The benefits of passively holding the poses include restorative benefits, deep relaxation, and balance.

Each month, the class begins by learning basic alignment of selected poses, breath work, and meditation. As the class progresses, new poses are added, creating a flow using these poses, and synchronizing them with proper breathing. Each class utilizes warm-up poses to allow deeper stretching and cool-down poses to release the muscles and allow for complete relaxation. No experience is necessary. The class is designed to provide options for all levels.

Day/Time: Thu. , 2:15 p.m.-3:15 p.m.

Park Spotlight:

Colleyville Nature Center Mill Creek Drive at Mill Wood Drive (From Highway 26: west on Glade and south on Mill Creek Drive) Winter often means staying indoors close to a warm fire, but if the desire for a brisk walk in cool weather is calling, the Colleyville Nature Center is the place. A few minutes on one of the Nature Center’s trails, and all the cares of day-to-day life fade into the shadows of the heavily wooded park.

The park was developed by the city in 1992, with grant assistance by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Commission. This 46-acre natural refuge features nine ponds, 3.5 miles of multi-use trails, a rustic amphitheater, covered pavilion with a grill, rest benches, playground, and fishing pier. The Colleyville Nature Center’s hours are 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset.

Inclement Weather Procedures For the safety of our patrons, Colleyville library or recreation classes and programs may be cancelled or delayed in the event of bad or dangerous weather.
