This class is similar to Vinyasa Flow but moves at a slower pace, holding poses for longer and focusing on the 6 movements of the spine and 4 sides of the leg/hip. We begin laying on the floor and focusing on breathwork and a body-scan and then move into gentle stretches to open the body before moving to standing balance poses and sun salutations, then return to the floor for closing postures and savasana (rest) with an optional spritz of Doterra lavender essential oil.
Come as you are. All are welcome.

Yoga Nidra or ‘yogic sleep’ is a meditative practice that invites a deep state of physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. One hour of this practice is equivalent to 4 hours of regular sleep and helps lower stress, improve mental clarity, and increase energy.
You will be guided into the dreamlike space between sleep and wakefulness— into a state of deep relaxation where breathing and thoughts are slowed while you are laying on your back supported and cocooned in blankets and props either on the floor or in the aerial hammocks. The aerial hammocks provide full support of the body to rest securely in during the guided meditation.
Come as you are. All are welcome.

During these special workshops participants lay in a restful posture and allow the vibrations of crystal singing bowls to wash over them. Crystal singing bowls are played during this class to help clear energy and further nourish the body and soul while you are guided into rest. The sound waves of crystal singing bowls help to both nourish and energize the nervous system. The vibrations help to shift stuck or blocked energy and restore balance to the body. They also help guide the mind and body into a state of relaxation.
Come as you are. All are welcome.

This style of yoga uses props to hold poses for longer periods of time to stretch into the deeper connective tissues throughout the body. It helps to strengthen, hydrate and lengthen the connective tissues in the joints and facia, helping to improve mobility and flexibility. Appropriate for all levels.
We are often more of a yang culture— active and on the go— the practice of yin yoga is based in stillness and receptivity and can be very balancing to our more active ‘yang’ culture.
Come as you are. All are welcome.
