Info: The first half of class (Vinyasa) is designed to establish a steady breathing rhythm, improve blood flow and circulation, and build strength and skill. Vinyasa means to link breath with movement in a special way to achieve a particular outcome. You will learn to let the breath guide your movement as the ultimate teacher. The second half of class (Yin) will focus on deep stretches with long holds (1-5 min). You will be invited to relax and release any muscular contraction, working deep into the connective tissue. This type of yoga stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system response, naturally fostering relaxation and calmness. The combination of these two styles of yoga balances body, mind, and spirit, helping you take your yoga off the mat and into your daily life!
