60-Minute Breathwork and Yin-Style Stretching for Service Industry Workers

60-Minute Breathwork and Yin-Style Stretching for Service Industry Workers

This 60-minute class is designed for those who spend their days (or nights) on their feet—servers, bartenders, baristas, cooks, stylists, and anyone else in the service industry.

We’ll begin with guided breathwork to regulate your nervous system and help you shift out of stress mode. From there, we’ll gently wake up the myofascial lines, open the heart space and sternum, and decompress the spine.

The second half of class moves into long-held, floor-based stretches targeting common areas of tension—low back, hips, hamstrings, and feet.

Expect a quiet, supportive space to slow down, release stress, and help your body recover from the physical demands of your work.

No yoga experience necessary. Just wear comfortable clothes and bring a mat if you have one. Props like blocks, bolsters, or blankets are welcome and encouraged. A few extra mats and props will be available on-site.

To help create a respectful, calm, and inclusive space for everyone, please keep the following in mind:

• Arrive on Time: Doors open 15 minutes early. Please arrive a few minutes before class to settle in. Doors will lock promptly at the start of class.
  
  
• Silence Your Devices: Please silence or turn off phones and smartwatches before entering the space.
  
  
• Scent-Free Zone: Avoid wearing strong perfumes or essential oils—some participants may be sensitive.
  
  
• Respect the Quiet: This class includes silent and meditative periods. Keep conversation to a minimum once inside. Please refrain from speaking during class.
  
  
• Listen to Your Body: Modify poses as needed. You know your body best—honor your limits and take rest when needed.
  
  
• Hands-On Assistance: I may offer hands-on adjustments during class. Consent will be requested at the beginning of each session.
  
  
• Clean Up After Class: If you borrow a mat or props, please wipe them down and return them before leaving.
  
  
• Ask Questions Kindly: I’m happy to answer any questions or provide support—just catch me before or after class.
