The Sessions

• Yin Experience: Embracing this time to honor what the world is asking us to do right now – slow down and stay in – yin yoga is the quintessential practice for stillness and serenity. We will begin with light movement, then sit or lay in each yin posture for several minutes for deep and long-held stretching and releasing as we listen to our breath and embody the beauty of quietude. This practice allows for our vital life energy to flow freely, harmonizing the inner landscape to maintain our balance and wholeness.
• Breathworks: Social distancing has created a rise in anxiety, fear, and worry. We'll breathe together to remind yourself that you're not alone. Release stress, anxiety and anything else that's weighing down on you. 
• Restorative Soundbath: The pure tones produced by the crystal sound bowls get chemically translated in the body as a natural endogenous opioid, helping to induce relaxation and eventually a deep sleep - especially after a night of yin and deep breathing. Think of this phase like a massage for your cells.
