Based on the first and second series of Ashtanga yoga, with a bit of Kundalini.

Yin Yoga is a quiet, gentle practice, suitable for all levels of practitioner. In each class, we do a few basic poses, staying in each from 3 to 5 minutes while relaxing our muscles. This targets our body’s deep layers of connective tissue, addressing the mobility and health of our joints in the hips, pelvis and spine.

Feel free and open with this slow flow that moves through the whole body, with special emphasis on the hips and heart space. Especially good if you find yourself seated a lot.

This class is fun, lively and gentle. We start seated in a chair and begin centering ourselves to get settled and quiet. We spend some time with our breath. Warm-ups are then incorporated to awaken the body. We add upper body stretches and a variety of seated movements working through all areas of the body from head to toe using traditional yoga poses and non-traditional poses with great sequences for flexibility, mobility, strength and cognitive health before we begin seated sun salutations. Sometimes, a seated chair yoga dance is included to add a little more fun. Standing and balancing poses are next to help build strength and balance in the lower body, which is so important because our lower body propels us through life. We always have the chair for support but we also have the option to challenge ourselves when we are ready. Coming back to seated, a few more poses are done and then you are invited to savasana either seated in the chair, lying on the floor with legs on chair or completely on the floor using a mat or blanket.

Named after the city in South India where Krishnamacharya and Jois lived, this is the original way of learning yoga asana.

Learning the yoga postures at your own pace, you cultivate individual responsibility for our own practice with individual attention, support and help by your teacher. It is perhaps the only way that the more advanced asanas or postures can be learned safely.

No Verbal ques are given in this class.
