The three principles of Yin yoga are: 1) Come into an appropriate depth for your body in each pose; 2) Become still; 3) Hold for a long time. This can mean up to 3-5 minutes per pose. What is important is not what a pose looks like, but what it feels like… we use many props in Yin yoga to support our bodies in releasing into the connective tissues rather than specifically stretching the muscles. Yin yoga is not restorative yoga, in that we are still looking for some stress to the tissues in order to create optimal health. Yin targets mainly the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis and lower spine.A slower moving class focusing on floor postures. All levels welcome.“We don’t use our bodies to get into the pose, we use the pose to get into the body”, according to my teacher, Bernie Clark.
In this series you will begin learning and practicing the postures, shapes and isolations that make up the foundation of strong bellydance technique. Throughout this series we will also be exploring bellydance as a tool to increase mindfulness as we build new pathways for communication between the mind and body. Bellydance, especially in this holiday series, is an empowering and healing form of movement that will help you connect deeply with your body in a loving and healthy way.
This series welcomes absolute beginners or anyone wanting to explore the restorative and meditative side of bellydance.
