Classes for Flexibility

Yoga for Flexibility is a specialized class designed to enhance and improve the flexibility of the body.

 

This class focuses on gentle stretching, targeted poses, and mindful movement to increase range of motion, alleviate stiffness, and promote a sense of space in muscles and joints. Emphasis is placed on proper alignment, breath awareness, and relaxation to facilitate safe and effective stretching.

​

The instructor will lead participants through a variety of poses that encourage lengthening and opening of tight muscles and connective tissues. Each pose is held for a moderate duration, allowing participants to gradually deepen their stretches and release tension stored in the body. Props such as yoga blocks, straps, or bolsters may be used to support participants in achieving deeper stretches and maintaining proper alignment. These props can be particularly helpful for individuals with limited flexibility or range of motion.

 

"Yoga for Flexibility" is suitable for practitioners of all levels, including beginners and those with tight muscles or stiffness. Whether you're looking to increase your flexibility for sports performance, alleviate discomfort from sitting at a desk all day, or simply enhance your overall range of motion, this class offers a nurturing and supportive environment to help you achieve your flexibility goals.

Yin Yoga is a slow-paced, meditative yoga practice that focuses on deep stretching and long-held postures.

​

In Yin, students are guided through a series of poses, each held for an extended period of about 3 to 5 minutes. This prolonged stretching allows the body to release deeply held tension and encourages the mind to become quiet and still.

​

​Yin Yoga is a passive practice that requires minimal muscular engagement. Students are encouraged to relax into each pose, using gravity and their own body weight to facilitate the stretch. They are then guided to focus on their breath, using it as a tool to deepen the stretch and maintain presence in the moment. Various props such as bolsters, blocks, and blankets may be used to support the body in each pose, ensuring comfort and allowing for a deeper release. These props help make the practice accessible to individuals of all levels and abilities.

 

The class is conducted in a calm and quiet environment, often with soft music or silence, to encourage a meditative state. Yin Yoga complements more dynamic styles of yoga and physical activity by providing balance and promoting the body's natural healing processes. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking to counteract the effects of a busy, fast-paced lifestyle. Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, this class will give you the opportunity to slow down, tune in, and experience the profound benefits of deep stretching and mindful relaxation.

Our Gentle Yoga class focuses on slow, soothing and simple yoga postures. 

 

It is designed to be accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels, including beginners, seniors, or individuals with limited mobility or physical ailments.

Poses are modified to be easier on the body, with an emphasis on proper alignment and gentle stretching rather than intense physical exertion. This allows practitioners to improve flexibility, strength, and balance gradually, without straining their muscles or joints.

​

In addition to physical benefits, gentle yoga also offers mental and emotional benefits, such as stress relief, improved mood, and a greater sense of inner peace and harmony. It can be a wonderful practice for those seeking a gentle way to stay active, reduce tension, and cultivate a deeper connection between mind, body, and spirit.

​

During the class, participants will be guided through a series of yoga postures that target key areas of the body known for contributing to mobility issues, such as the hips, shoulders, spine, and hamstrings. Emphasis is placed on proper alignment, mindful breathing, and gradual progression to prevent injury and promote safe stretching.

​

The instructor may incorporate props such as yoga blocks, straps, or bolsters to support students in achieving deeper stretches and greater range of motion. Each pose is held for a moderate duration, allowing participants to fully relax into the stretch and release tension stored in the muscles and connective tissues.

​

This class is suitable for individuals of all fitness levels, including beginners and those with limited mobility or flexibility. Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with stiffness from sitting at a desk all day, or simply looking to improve your overall range of motion, Yoga for Mobility offers a nurturing and supportive environment to help you move with greater ease and freedom in your daily life.
