Note: Holding the postures enables you to build strength and resilience. Class messaging focuses in being perfectly imperfect, Ahimsa, Satya and growing through what you go through.

Join our Physical Therapist and RYT Elaine for this very specilaized yoga sequence to protect your lower back and strengthen the supporting muscles. Many times clients start yoga practice after years of immobility, childbirth or overcoming a sports injury. This class helps to ensure the individual is lengthening the spine rather than compressing the spine. Most flow classes especially those with large classes, do no take the time or have the time to evaluate each student’s alignment. This class allows the student to develop a deeper understanding of how to move with the body and create space between each vertebrae.

Fridays 9-10:15

Hatha Yoga aka Classical Yoga is the physical practice known as Asana or postures, combined with breath work seeking to balance the body with the mind; The postures are also designed to open the many channels of the body—especially the main channel, the spine—so that energy can flow freely. It asks us to bring our attention to our breath, which helps us to still the fluctuations of the mind and be more present in the unfolding of each moment.

Hatha is also translated as ha meaning “sun” and tha meaning “moon.” This refers to the balance of masculine aspects—active, hot, sun—and feminine aspects—receptive, cool, moon—within all of us.

Join our Physical Therapist and Yoga Certified Instructor, Elaine Waksman Fridays from 9-10:15am as she guides you through a warm up consisting of Sun Salutations, followed by a sequence of postures combined with guided breath work and develop a balance of strength and flexibility, while learning to balance your effort, and surrender in each pose.

We are all busy and finding the time for our yoga practice can sometimes be difficult but when do you find the time to balance that practice.

Yin yoga is the deep practice that can help us to find that balance in our lives and ultimately by slowing down and going deeper will enhance and balance your yang practice.

If you are busy and operating in a high stress response (sympathetic nervous system/ fight or flight), a fast powerful vinyasa flow may feel wonderful to help release some of that built up energy but is that balance? Maybe what would serve you is to work towards tapping into your parasympathetic nervous system and getting out of the Fight or flight mode you’ve been in all day.

Unlike Yang which targets juicy muscle which respond well to faster repetitive movement, yin yoga works towards stressing specific joints and connective tissues ( bones, ligaments, tendons and fascia) which are dryer so needs to be done safely with a slow consistent load. This stresses the specific areas triggering your body to respond with nutrients ultimately feeding and strengthening these areas.

Yin yoga can help calm and balance both body and mind
increase circulation and the flow of Chi or Prana
improves flexibility and joint mobility, allows you the time to connect and become intimate with our body and mind and can teach you to become comfortable in an uncomfortable situation both physically and mentally.
