Mindful Yin Yoga

About this event

Yin yoga focuses on stillness and on working the deep connective tissues of the body (tendons, ligaments, fascia). This class will begin with a comfortable restorative yoga pose paired with guided meditation and pranayama (breathwork) to bring us to our inner place of stillness. A series of long-held (2 to 5 minutes each) floor poses will follow, targeting especially the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine, and shoulders. The emphasis will be on relaxing into each pose with the utilization of props when needed. This practice is particularly helpful as we age because connective tissue and joints tend to become stiffer and drier throughout our lifetime. A yin yoga practice can help to slow this aging process. Yin yoga is the perfect complement to any exercise regime for all ages, building strength, space, and resilience to connective tissue areas and joints that are commonly at risk for injury. Yin yoga also stimulates and removes blockages in the meridians in the body, helping to balance mind, body, and spirit. This yin yoga practice will leave you feeling centered, relaxed, and balanced. Candlelight, relaxing music (often live guitar and gentle chanting), will be included in this peaceful class. Suitable for all levels, including beginners.
