First Tuesday of the Month ~
Gentle Flow with Yin & Reiki
Yin & Reiki is a special self-care yoga class that combines the calming energy of Yin Yoga postures with the healing energy of Reiki.
This class offers a unique blend of physical release through Yin Yoga and energetic restoration through Reiki, providing a comprehensive self-care experience designed for deep renewal. The emphasis on energy work and reduced spoken words creates a tranquil environment, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in healing and restoration.
What is Yin? Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures, or asanas, that are held for longer periods, typically three to five minutes or more. It targets the deep connective tissues of the body, like ligaments, joints, bones, and fascia, promoting increased flexibility and a sense of calm.
What is Reiki? Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique based on the principle that the practitioner can channel universal life energy into the client by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the client's body and restore physical and emotional well-being. It is often described as a gentle, hands-on healing modality that promotes relaxation and stress reduction.
Next Reiki Class November 4th
friday Near the End of the Month ~ Extended Yin Class
A 75-minute yin yoga class generally offers more benefits than a 60-minute class due to the extended time allowing for deeper physical, mental, and energetic effects. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is a foundational aspect of yin yoga, longer holds in specific poses can help to stimulate and clear blockages in the body's energy channels or meridians. A 75-minute class offers more time to target these pathways, promoting a better flow of "chi" or life force energy throughout the body. Other perks to this longer class include:
Increased Flexibility and Joint Mobility
Enhanced Mental and Emotional Benefits
Deeper Stillness and Mindfulness
Greater Opportunity for Emotional Release
Calming the Nervous System
Improved Energetic Flow
October Class: 10/24 - Sign up here
Sunday near the end of Every Month @ 430 PM
Candlelight Yin Restore: Find Stillness and Release
Unwind deeply in this calming Yin Yoga class designed to restore balance to your body and mind. We'll explore passive, floor-based poses held for longer durations to gently release tension. The focus is on finding stillness and cultivating mindful awareness, allowing the body to naturally soften and open.
This practice encourages a quieting of the mind and a profound sense of relaxation. Suitable for all levels seeking gentle yet effective stretching and a pathway to inner peace.
