The holiday season can both joyful and challenging. Slower, contemplative practices can provide much needed refuge amidst the chaos of the season. Class will include Yin Yoga, meditation, and acupressure to support balance in the mind, body, and spirit. Yin Yoga is a meditative style of yoga in which yoga shapes are gently held for several minutes, often supported by props or the floor. Sequencing will address a variety of common seasonal needs and change weekly.
30 Minute Session to discuss goals, concerns, and to get to know me. Some practice may happen so dress comfortably!
Our society asks so much of us from work, to family, to social activities. We celebrate busyness and demonize rest, especially for BIPOC and low-income communities.
This hour is meant as a time to rest, recharge, and reconnect with ourselves. With no judgment and no expectations.
Gather in a small group setting with soothing sounds, dim lighting, and many props to create comfort. Restorative Yoga shapes, readings to inspire rest, and accessible meditation suggestions will be available, but practice rest in any way you see fit (including napping or lounging).
Most props provided, but if you have blankets, pillows, padding, etc that helps you find comfort, bring it.

Deepen your understanding of two unique yet complementary practices. While the shapes in both of these styles may look similar, they are distinct practices: Yin invites practitioners to seek sensation, while Restorative asks us to seek support.
This workshop offers teachers clarity in the intentions and applications of both styles, including a balanced mix of discussion and hands-on practice each day, with time to contemplate between each. Perfect for educators looking to enhance their skills in guiding gentle practices, with 5 hours of Yoga Alliance CEUs provided.
