This Hatha yoga class will focus on increasing flexibility and loosening tight muscles. It will focus on one or more different muscle sets each week and will help increase flexibility with yoga poses that encourage stretching. Poses that help strengthen these muscles will also be practiced, since strength is also important for flexibility. Each class will start with some breathing exercises and centering, and will include flow in a slightly advancing way each week, then end with a couple of restorative postures. It is helpful to have a yoga mat or other non-slip surface and small blanket ready when class starts. No class Oct. 12. Storm date Nov. 9. Limit 15 students.

Yin is a quiet, still practice that helps to stimulate and target the deep connective tissues in the joints, ligaments, and bones. Postures are mostly seated or lying prone or supine and are held from 1-5 minutes. Yin brings circulation and healing energy to promote health and targets the Chinese meridian lines in hopes to balance your Chi and Prana. This practice can benefit everyone. It is highly recommended for athletes, yogis with injuries or arthritis, and for those who are looking to slow down, go deep, and possibly meditate. Limit 9 students. If necessary classes will be able to transition to on-line via Zoom.
