Virtual Sunday Yoga Basics

Virtual Tuesday Yin Yoga

Yoga Basics is an introductory level class that helps you reduce stress and anxiety while building flexibility and strength. With indepth instruction, you'll learn how to safely practice the fundamental poses of yoga. Borrowing from the Iyengar, Viniyoga and Anusara traditions, this class is suitable for beginning yoga students, those with injuries, and ongoing students interested in deepening understanding of their body and mind in practice. No experience necessary. See instructor's bio under "Intro to Yoga" class.

It is time to de-stress and unwind! Yin yoga is a relaxing, passive style of yoga that incorporates principles of traditional Chinese medicine. Class consists of a series of seated and reclining poses that are held for up to 5 minutes each. Designed to free up the flow of Qi (life force energy) and safely stretch connective tissue around the joints, Yin Yoga calms the nervous system and promotes flexibility in the lower part of the body - the hips, pelvis, inner thighs and lower spine - as well as the neck and shoulders. This class is suitable for beginning yoga students, those with injuries, and ongoing students interested in deepening understanding of their body and mind in practice. No experience necessary.
