Mindfulness

This class combines our popular Yin yoga with 10-15 minute meditation sessions at the beginning and the end of the Yin practice. Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of Hatha yoga with postures, or asanas, that are held for longer periods of time. Yin poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body – the tendons, fascia, and ligaments – with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. During the meditation segments, the teacher will guide you towards focusing your attention and mind, noticing but not engaging with thoughts and developing the practical skills to invite calmness, clarity and power into your life. You will become mindful of your thoughts, feelings and sensations and observe them in a nonjudgmental way. The class will allow you to unwind your mind and emerge relaxed and refreshed.
