  • Yin

    By holding postures for extended periods (3-10 minutes), you will be able to cultivate a sense of ease and lightness in the body. This slow-paced class focuses on the breath and explores long, passive stretching to enhance mobility and flexibility in the connective tissue that forms our joints. Enjoy a deep physical opening especially through the hips, pelvis and spine. A perfect complement for classes such as Vinyasa yoga. All levels welcome.

  • Yin/Meditation

    A sublime balance of movement and finding stillness, this class begins with long, deep stretching (Yin postures) to prepare the body for seated meditation—a practice that is about doing less and being more. Through breath, concentration, and observation, we learn to steady the mind to cultivate a deeper understanding of who we are and to discover a more profound connection to one another, the universe and ourselves. All levels welcome.

All levels welcome.
