Class Descriptions:

Yin Yoga & Meditation: Yin Yoga is a quiet, gentle practice, suitable for all levels of practitioner. The postures are all practiced with your muscles relaxed, staying in each pose from 3 to 5 minutes. Yin Yoga targets the body’s connective tissue, addressing the mobility and health of our joints in the hips, pelvis and spine. It is a helpful preparation for sitting meditation at the end of class, and both provide wonderful balancing and restorative qualities to our very “yang” lifestyles.

Yoga for Aging w/ Strength and Grace: As we age, our bodies go through natural changes, including a gradual loss of muscle mass, flexibility and overall physical strength. AND, we can slow down or even reverse these trends! Join Heather in combining the resilience building benefits of body weight resistance and strengthening movements, with the rejuvenating grace of yoga asana. We’ll focus on developing core strength and stability, weight bearing poses for bone health, enhancing flexibility and mobility, breath work and mindfulness techniques to reduce stress, and balance challenges to keep us nimble and confident in daily activities. Heather offers variations and prop suggestions throughout class to support individual needs. All levels and ages welcome!
