Class Descriptions

Yin Yoga is a cooling practice that moves at a slower pace. A typical class has 6-8 postures supported by props and held for a long period of time.

Pairing this practice with essential oils can further improve your mood and decrease the stress that builds up daily. It’s important to give ourselves permission to slow down and “smell the flowers” so to speak and the aromatherapy infused in this class will allow you to do just that. With this Yin practice being assisted, the teacher will incorporate hands-on adjustments, gentle touch, and light pressure/ massage to your poses.

This cooling class makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Deep and restful, Restorative yoga is designed to help each student release tension, stretch muscles, calm down, and detoxify from overstimulation in a fast-paced world. Using props, blankets, and bolsters, yoga postures and breathing exercises are sequenced to open your body slowly without resistance.  This class is complemented by breath techniques for the poses to support an easy feeling in your mind and body. 

You can expect to clear and quiet your mind, become more relaxed, in your body, and feeling peaceful and easy. You can let go here, distress, and revitalize all parts of yourself. Physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies are all welcome 😉 Trauma-sensitive approach.  

Breathwork, the breakthrough mental and physical trending practice that’s right at the top of our nose, offers a multitude of benefits for physical and mental well-being. By practicing controlled breathing exercises, individuals can experience stress reduction, improved mental clarity, and enhanced emotional regulation. Breathwork also boosts energy levels, promotes better sleep, strengthens the immune system, and reduces physical tension. Additionally, it improves respiratory function, leading to increased lung capacity and oxygen circulation. Overall, breathwork provides a sense of lightness and freedom, contributing to an overall feeling of well-being.

Fall in love with your practice in atmospheric bliss, gently lit by Himalayan Salt Lamps. Balance the Central Nervous System as we gently guide out of Fight or Flight and back into Rest & Digest, where we allow our bodies to fully process the past, come to the present moment, and heal deeply for a more peaceful existence.

30 minutes of Hatha Yoga and 30 Minutes of Yoga Nidra.
In Hatha Yoga, you will explore postures (asanas), breathing exercises, and energy balance (pranayama). Instruction includes pose alignment, relaxation techniques, concentration, and meditation. Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation practice to induce the alpha brain state or deep daydream state. Yoga Nidra has been shown to reduce tension and anxiety and restore the physical, emotional, and mental body. The state of Nidra is often said to be equivalent to four times as much deep, restorative sleep.

Recent studies at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Depression and Clinical Research Program demonstrated that the changed brain activity in subjects who have learned to meditate hold steady even when they’re not meditating. Based on 19,000 meditation studies reviewed by Johns Hopkins University, meditation can help ease psychological stresses like anxiety, depression, and pain.
