Candlelight Yin Yoga

About this event

Calm and quiet your body, breath, and mind in this one-hour evening practice. Yin Yoga is a deep and meditative practice with longer, more passive holds that allow us to surrender to the pose, soften our bodies, and calm our nervous systems. In each posture we will place gentle stresses on our deep connective tissues (the fascia, tendons, and ligaments) with the aim of increasing circulation in our joints and improving our general flexibility. Practicing Yin Yoga in the evening maximizes the emotional and psychological benefits of this style of yoga and deepens our mindfulness practice. The intention of this class is to still the body, calm the breath, and quiet the mind. We will still stretch, but by practicing in a cozy, candlelit environment, we will also cultivate calming energy in our bodies and minds. Yin is a cooling practice, so wear comfortable clothing, make sure you have a pair of cozy socks with you, and be prepared for your body to sink deeply into calmness and relaxation. This class is suitable for all body types and all yoga levels.
