Yin is a floor based practice that gently stimulates, strengthens, and restores the fascia and dense connective tissues in and around the joints and muscles.

If you have a relatively inactive lifestyle, Yin is a great way to reintroduce your body to movement, improve flexibility, hydrate deep tissues, and promote and improve joint health as well as body and breath awareness. There is no experience necessary to do yin, and you don’t even have to be flexible to participate.

Yin also has a mindfulness component, challenging us to find peace in what may be slightly uncomfortable positions as we allow time and gravity to let the emphasis of the stress activate change at the deepest level.

Wednesday 5:15-6:15pm

Guest Instructor, Kristin Heyrman, PT, DPT, RYT-200 says, “A healthy pelvic floor is the foundation of body movement and stability. When the pelvic floor is strong and balanced, it helps to keep the abdominal and pelvic organs healthy.  However, pelvic floor dysfunction is incredibly common with a wide range of symptoms from incontinence to feelings of instability and weakness, to pain in the pelvis, low back, and hips.” 

This class is for anyone experiencing these symptoms, or for anyone who wants to gain a greater understanding and awareness of their pelvic floor.  Our focus will be on strengthening, stabilizing, stretching, and softening the pelvic floor, along with postures to open the hips and strengthen the core. We’ll learn how to integrate the pelvic floor into standing and balance poses to strengthen your foundation for your yoga practice and also your daily life.

Thursday 5:15-6:15pm

Your lymphatic system is responsible for circulating lymph, the leftover fluids from nutrient delivery, back into the body. It maintains the fluid level in the body, absorbs fat from the digestive tract, removes germs and bacteria, and protects your body from foreign invaders. But the lymphatic system does not have its own pump; it requires muscle contraction to circulate the lymph. Closely tied to the immune system by the lymph nodes, it is important that these systems are working together, and this practice is perfect to restore balance between the two.

Guest Instructor, Amy Giesen, PT, offers this practice as a way to stimulate lymphatic flow with lots of twisting and deep breathing as a way to provide a general detoxification of the lymphatic system, stuff we all can use!! 

Friday 5:15-6:15pm

No experience necessary to reap the immense benefits from this practice.

Yoga Nidra is a blissful practice that requires little physical movement and activity.  Props will support you while you lie still on your mat where you will be taken through a full Guided Body Scan, bringing awareness throughout your entire body.

There is nothing to do but sense and feel (and breathe of course!).  Guided by the teacher’s voice, you will identify sensations throughout your body and focus on your breath.  

The most observable effect is the extremely deep relaxation of the nervous system by allowing your body to deeply rest and recharge – something usually lacking in our all too busy lifestyles. 

No experience required – everyone can practice – even beginners!

Restorative

Restorative is a very gentle practice that involves supported poses using props and long holds to passively open the body for physical, mental and emotional relaxation. The goal of restorative yoga is to slow down, rest the mind, and bring the body back to “normal.”  Some essential oils may be used in conjunction with this class.  60 or 90-minute classes

Price $10 for 60 minute class, $20 for 90 minute class – passes may be applicable

Vinyasa I/II

A slightly faster paced practice based on Baron Baptiste Power Yoga.  We use Sun Salutations as a full-body warm-up to build heat and set the pace, breath, and flow of practice, bringing your focus further inward to ignite the healing heat inside.  

This flowing type of yoga links movement and breath to attain balance in the mind and body.  From the Sanskrit “to place in a special way,” vinyasa aligns a deliberate sequence of poses with the breath to achieve a continuous flow.

Vinyasa I / Gentle Flow

Centering breath work, Sun Salutations, & Standing and Floor-based postures (asanas):  The Sun Salutations, or Surya Namaskara, are a series of poses performed in sequence to create a flow of movement meant to warm and loosen the body.    

We take each joint through its full range of motion by mobilizing the muscles, and this gentle activation improves circulation of blood, energy (chi) and our vital substances.  We learn to coordinate our breath with movement, and to connect mind, body, and breath.  

This practice is comprised of postures that are approachable for most bodies.  They are less intimidating than some of the more “advanced” postures while still being great for building strength, confidence, and body awareness.  When linked together in a flow (vinyasa) we increase our heart rate and get our energy flowing more freely.
