Breathe Slow + Restore (Yin Yoga)

About this event

A slower, quieter practice designed to balance the heat, movement and intensity of our more active classes. Inspired by Yin and restorative yoga, BREATHE Slow + Restore uses longer-held postures, intentional breathing and stillness to explore the deeper layers of the body and create space to turn inward. Expect plenty of time close to the ground, with postures often supported by props so you can settle in rather than push or perform. Classes may incorporate elements of Yin Yoga, restorative postures, breathwork and meditation, with an emphasis on mobility, relaxation and nervous system downshifting. BREATHE Slow + Restore is designed for all levels and is an especially beautiful complement to our heated, strength-based and more dynamic practices. No prior yoga experience or flexibility required. Expect: long holds, deep stretches, supportive props, breath, stillness...and permission to slow all the way down. 60, 75 or 90 minutes. Unheated Benefits: • Increases flexibility and joint mobility. • Improves circulation and hydration of tissues. • Calms the nervous system and reduces stress. • Encourages mindfulness, patience, and inner stillness. • Balances more active “yang” practices and busy lifestyles.
