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 the midst of the holiday season let’s practice meeting the difficulties and joys of life with a quality of gratitude.  Gentle movement, contemplative practice and a gentle atmosphere as fertile ground to encourage gratitude this season.

You may have some inkling that a quality of gratitude is helpful even if bad things come your way.  We’re less reactive, more hopeful, less stressed and so much more.  In fact good research is telling us that a quality of gratitude has many benefits:  Research – Proven Benefits of Gratitude.

Beyond the research and perhaps most important and most intuitive to us is this essential quality of a life well-lived.  Here is a wonderful TED that captures this sense and the way we will consider gratitude during the morning:  Gratitude TED.   Also consider this radio interview on the program OnBeing that explores the depths and nature of gratitude:  The Anatomy of Gratitude.

Please RSVP/Preregister so we have enough space for all!  $15 to drop in or the All-Class-Holiday-Pass
