Yin & Restore Yoga (Community Class)

Description

In this "Yin and Restore" class, we’ll start with Yin Yoga, a practice designed to stretch and target the deeper connective tissues of the body, such as fascia, ligaments, and joints. By holding each pose for several minutes, Yin allows the body to sink deeper into each stretch, promoting flexibility and releasing long-held tension. Throughout this part of the class, we’ll focus on mindfulness and body awareness, encouraging you to be present in each moment and fully engage with the sensations in your body. As we progress, we’ll gently transition into Restorative Yoga. Unlike the more intense stretches of Yin, Restorative Yoga is all about comfort and deep relaxation. Using props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks, we’ll support the body in restful poses that are held for extended periods. These positions are designed to calm the nervous system, allowing both the mind and body to enter a state of deep rest and healing. The focus will shift from stretching to unwinding, offering you a chance to fully let go and experience profound relaxation. By the end of the class, the combination of Yin Yoga's deep stretches and Restorative Yoga’s calming poses will leave you feeling balanced and rejuvenated. The deliberate slow pace will help release any lingering tension, creating a sense of spaciousness and ease in both body and mind. This practice is ideal for anyone looking to unwind, restore energy, and reconnect with a sense of inner peace. NOTE: Be on Time! Be sure to be on time for your chosen appointment.
