A class that combines two styles of yoga into one practice - bringing together the benefits of passively holding yoga poses geared to stretch and strengthen your body, with more dynamic sequences and standing postures. We recommend having completed at least 1 semester of yoga basics before attending yin yang.
Yin Yoga
A meditative, slow, quiet, yet challenging practice that works to target the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. Postures are held for long periods
(3-7 minutes) which gives the body an opportunity to open and release deep tension and relaxing your muscles.
Yoga for a Healthier Back
Almost everyone experiences stiffness and diminishing mobility in their back that can lead to problems to their health if not addressed. In Yoga for a Healthier Back we work to release muscular tension and decompress the spine. After relaxing muscles that are overworked and tight, we restore mobility and strength through movement that focuses on increasing range of motion in the joints. Breathing exercises and a restorative pose at the end of the class will leave you ready for a good night sleep.
