It is a practice of rest and restore that can complement your regular yoga practice or other fitness modalities. Practicing few poses with sustained hold times, Yin yoga allows for the slow and deep release of myofascial tissue, ligaments, tendons and gentle compression of bones and joints.

Sunrise Yoga

In the yogic discipline, the morning is considered as a “divine time”

and when an individual's spiritual energy is at its peak. Sunrise yoga

brings your body more energy and nourishes you with a positive

attitude to fully prepare for the challenges of the day ahead. This

flow class is great for All Levels.

​

Yin Yoga with Reiki + Meditation

This class will allow time to explore the body, mind, and spirit through yin yoga, meditation and Reiki.

In Yin Yoga we will remain in the poses longer than in a typical yoga class, but in a less strenuous position. By lingering in relative stillness in the poses, you nurture the deep tissues of our bodies including the fascia. By reaching the fascia you will bring oxygen & nutrients to the body, as well as release toxins that have been stored. In turn, this helps to support our immune system. You will stimulate the flow of energy (chi) through acupressure. You will actively stress and stimulate your bones, creating stronger bones.

Reiki is a Japanese holistic healing technique used to balance your energy and mind. Beginner friendly. 

Restorative Yoga

This class is designed with gentle floor based sequences using bolsters, blankets, and props that support the practitioner to fully relax the muscles, slow down the mental activity of the brain, shift emotional patterns, bring ease to the breath, and tune into the nervous system’s healing capacity.  This hour long class is perfect for any age or level student.

Core and Restore Yoga

Mixed levels, vinyasa flow practice with the intention to tone and strengthen the whole core, followed by restorative postures. The first half of class builds heat through strong postures, dynamic flows and deep core work.
