yoga: slow Flow with yin/restorative (ages 16+)
During our busy lives we rarely get the chance to slow down, so this class gives you the opportunity to do just that. We will start our 60-minute, all-levels class with a slow flow to get the blood flowing and transition to a yin/ restorative practice for the second half of class. The stillness, deep stretching and bi- weekly live sound healing will leave you with
a sense of deep relaxation and release along with increased mobility and flexibility over time. Modifications will be offered throughout class to cater to every unique body. Please bring a mat, blanket, and blocks (if you have them)!
