Yin Yoga targets the connective tissue of the hips, pelvis and spine. In this practice, the muscles are relaxed and poses are held 3 – 5 minutes in a supported way in order to stress the ligaments, joints and bones. This creates more fluid in the body and begins to create more range of motion for those who are stiff or who have any injuries. Over time, the body will feel at ease while in movement or in stillness. Yin Yoga is a compliment to all your yang activities. This class is for students of all levels and of all ages. It can be done as an addition to your yang yoga or for those who have minor injuries, and or, for those who have stiff joints and limited range of motion.
Grace and Strength Yoga combines postures from the vigorous Ashtanga tradition with longer-held, deeply restorative postures from other yoga styles. Such a blend promotes physical strength and flexibility in order to develop those same qualities in mind and spirit. Participants who have had previous yoga experience at Level I/II or Level II or their equivalent will derive the greatest benefit from this practice.
