YIN This passive, meditative practice promotes stillness and relaxation through long static held postures (3-5 minutes) while softening the muscles. Yin taps into fascia and the connective tissues (joints, tendons, ligaments) to create more space and flexibility. Yin invites you to slow down and get deep into your poses to cultivate a more intimate relationship with your body, breath, and mind. Suggested props: blanket, bolster, blocks, pillows/cushions
VINYASA (LEVEL 1-2) Vinyasa is a dynamic yoga practice that connects breath with movement. Combining a mindful, steady pace of flowing transitions with static held postures increases strength and flexibility, as well as focus and mental clarity. This Level 1-2 class may include Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations), standing and seated postures, arm balances, and inversions. Each class builds to a peak pose, and includes pranayama (breathwork) and a long savasana. Variations are given. Suggested props: blocks, strap
