Wednesday Night Yin Yoga - Nov 11 to Dec 16, 5:30-7 PM
Each flow yoga series will take participants through a thoughtful combination of accessible strength-building sequences, exploration of the nervous system within postures and steady movement appropriate for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. We’ll focus on what it means to link breath with movement - the “flow” portion of class, intelligent use of props, and accessing mindful meditation within practice. During cold or inclement weather, these flow classes will be held within indoor classrooms overlooking the gardens. During warm weather, we'll be outdoors.
Each yin yoga series will take participants through a restorative and grounding yoga practice. Appropriate for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, yin yoga is a practice of postures performed primarily on the ground for an improvement in flexibility, increased function of the joints and connective tissues as well as an increased sense of vitality in the body. Yin features extended holds in postures with plenty of props for comfort rather than continuous movement. The meditation portion of this class will be beginner-oriented and introduced within the postures of class. This class is a special offering held after-hours in the jungle of the Bolz Conservatory!
