Yoga props like bolsters, blankets, and foam blocks are used to lift the floor to support the body. Most postures are done on the mat and held for 5-10 minutes. A thoughtful and traditional Restorative Yoga sequence ensures students achieve complete relaxation by the end of the session. This self-care class will leave you feeling completely nurtured and renewed.

Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga class offers tremendous benefits for body, mind, and soul. Yin is a passive style of yoga that beautifully complements our active (yang) Vinyasa practice and busy lifestyle. The focus is to relax the muscles and release the body’s system of connective tissue. Poses are held between 3 -5 minutes and props are often used for support. The time spent in Yin Yoga is much like time spent in meditation.
