Morning session: standing poses; afternoon session: backbends. Bring a notebook and pen.

Yin Yoga, which consists of passive postures held for lengthy amounts of time, is an essential complement to the more active styles of yoga. It keeps the body supple at its core, while encouraging stagnate chi (prana) to flow throughout the joints and meridians, restoring and revitalizing the organ system. Suitable for anyone interested in taking their practice to an increased level of awareness and stillness, both inside and out. Mostly asana.

We have all heard about the benefits of meditation, and yet many yoga practitioners still feel this practice is too daunting and difficult. This class will give you an opportunity to prepare the body for sitting with a few Yin poses, and then practice simple and clear methods of meditation that can open the doorway for you to begin sitting in meditation regularly.
