CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
SLOW FLOW YOGA
Slow flow yoga is a gentle and meditative practice that focuses on gradually moving through poses while synchronizing breath with movement. This deliberate pace allows for increased mindfulness and enhanced focus on proper alignment and form. As the body moves through slow, intentional movements, blood flow is stimulated, aiding in the circulation of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
By engaging in slow flow yoga, practitioners can support the function of the lymphatic and endocrine systems. The gentle movements help to stimulate the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in removing waste and toxins from the body. Additionally, the practice can support the endocrine system, which regulates hormones and overall body functions.
Through the combination of breathwork, movement, and mindfulness, slow flow yoga can cleanse the body of impurities and support the immune system. The deliberate movements help to release tension and promote relaxation, allowing the body to operate more efficiently and effectively. By incorporating slow flow yoga into a regular practice, individuals can cultivate a sense of balance, rejuvenation, and overall well-being.
RESTORATIVE YOGA
The Restorative yoga class I offer is designed to help you unwind and release tension in your body, especially focusing on the neck and shoulders. As we know that ending a hectic week can leave you feeling physically and mentally drained, this class is crafted to provide deep relaxation and restoration.
We will begin the class with gentle breathing exercises to calm the mind and bring awareness to the breath. Then, we will move into a series of slow-paced, supported yoga poses that target the neck and shoulders, allowing you to release built-up tension and stress.
During the body work portion of the class, I will offer hands-on adjustments and gentle massage techniques to help release any tightness or knots in the muscles of the neck and shoulders. This soothing touch can help to improve circulation, reduce pain, and promote a sense of deep relaxation.
By the end of the class, you will feel a sense of peace and relief from the stresses of the week, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I invite you to join me in this Restorative yoga class to experience the healing benefits of body work and neck and shoulder releases.
RESTORATIVE/YIN FUSION
Restorative and Yin yoga are gentle and slow-paced forms of yoga that focus on deep relaxation and stretching of the body. These practices are particularly effective in releasing stored tension and trauma that may be held in the body.
When we experience stress or trauma, our bodies often respond by tightening and contracting muscles, leading to physical discomfort and decreased flexibility. Restorative and Yin yoga poses target these areas of tightness and allow for the release of tension, creating space for healing and recovery.
By holding poses for an extended period of time and focusing on deep breathing, practitioners are able to tap into the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and reduces stress. This in turn helps to calm the mind and release emotional and physical tension stored in the body.
Through the practice of restorative and Yin yoga, individuals can begin to cultivate a greater sense of awareness and connection to their bodies, allowing them to release and process trauma in a safe and supportive environment. By incorporating these practices into their wellness routine, individuals can experience greater levels of physical and emotional healing, ultimately leading to a more balanced and resilient state of being.
