Yoga Flow and Yin— 11:45 a.m. - 12:45p.m. Mon/Wed
Flow & Yin Yoga is a sweet blend of flow and yin. About half of the class uses a breath-based vinyasa flow to build strength and flexibility, challenging your balance and concentration, and harnessing that energy to promote inner stillness and peace. Ranging from a gentle therapeutic pace to a mildly vigorous pace, you will be calmy energized. The other half of the class finds you down on the mat holding yin poses for longer periods of time, targeting the connective tissue of the body to help release deeply stored tension. The two styles together are amazingly transformative.
