YinYasa Yoga

YINYASA YOGA YinYasa Yoga serves as both a stand-alone Yoga system, and as an introductory pathway to Astanga Vinyasa Yoga. If you have never practiced Yoga before, or are coming back to Yoga after an extended period, this is the perfect place to start. The mindful flow of YinYasa Yoga incorporates hip, shoulder and spine releases, where often much of our tension and stress is held. The repetitive nature of the practice also allows us to move deeper, into older areas of stress and malady. The YinYasa practice is based on a structure that has one posture following another in a specific and orderly manner. This is Vinyasa. YINYASA BOOST Taught in a multi level inclusive format, this one hour class provides a platform that encourages progress, while cultivating patience and contentment in the postures. A series of standing and seated postures, carefully selected to improve balance, strength and flexibility, the basis for all physical movement. YINYASA CHILL This one hour class is what we call a Foundational Meditation class. Have you tried Meditation, but couldn’t quite get it? Well you are not alone.
