Looking for a peaceful way to unwind at the end of the day? Yin Yoga is a gentle practice that emphasizes stillness, internal balance,
and meditative focus. The class includes some simple warm-ups and a long yin yoga sequence in which simple postures are held for 1-3 minutes to promote tissue health and adaptability. It is suitable for beginners, and easy to adapt for individual circumstances due to its slower pace. It is also ideal for advanced practitioners looking to explore the realms of deep focus and attention and for all who seek some quiet, still time to balance the busyness of life.
Connect with your body and breath through joyful, mindful movement. A lively and challenging yoga experience, this class emphasizes a balanced and attentive approach to vinyasa flow, with core sequences and seated postures also included. For students with previous yoga experience or active beginners who enjoy a challenge.
Yang Style 108 Form is the basis for this class. It is not necessary to know the whole form in advance as it will be taught as we go along, but some familiarity with an advanced Tai Chi form is recommended. Additional teaching is done with Qi Gong forms such as the five Animal Frolics, Push Hands, the Eight Brocades and more.
