The Exhale: A Journey Through Yin Yoga with Felicia White

As we transition from summer to fall, we move through the breaths of the seasons. Summer, the Yang season, also known as the "inhale" as we take in experiences that summer has to offer, along with the warmth of the sun during the longer days of the year. Fall, however, is when the sun starts its journey away from us, and we "exhale" all that we have taken in during summer.

This class is an opportunity to start the journey inward, find stillness and connect with Yin energy of the cooler months.

Each pose is held for 3-5 minutes, with the assistance of bolsters, blankets and blocks to help us relax into the pose. But don't be mistaken that just because there is stillness, nothing is happening internally. The magic of Yin yoga is that while we hold a pose circulation, joint health and body hydration improves as inner channels of the fascia open up through the long holds. Our nervous system starts to come into balance as we find presence and lengthen the breath.

Class will begin with pranayama, where we can drop into the breath to center our minds and prepare for these moments of stillness. We will move through a short, gentle flow and finally deepen and meet the Yin energy.
