Yin Yoga 

Functional and Embodied Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga and Stretch & Recovery offer a slow, nourishing approach to movement, designed to support both the body and the nervous system. These practices invite you to soften out of “doing” mode and return to a steadier, more spacious rhythm.

Classes are mostly floor-based and unhurried, creating time and space for the body to gently release tension and for the mind to settle. This is a practice of feeling and listening, meeting yourself where you are, without force or expectation.

Whether you’re feeling physically tight, mentally overstimulated, or simply in need of rest, these classes offer a supportive pause in the week to restore balance and ease.

There’s no pressure to perform or keep up here. You’re welcome to pause, adapt, or simply rest at any point. This practice is about support, not striving.

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin yoga is a slow, meditative practice where poses are held for longer periods of time, allowing gentle stress to be applied to the deeper layers of the body such as connective tissue, joints, and fascia. Rather than focusing on muscular effort, Yin encourages stillness, patience, and awareness.

This practice supports healthy and hydrated fascia, mobility, and circulation, while also calming the nervous system when needed. Yin yoga offers space to turn inward, observe sensation, and cultivate a sense of quiet presence, making it as much a mental and emotional practice as a physical one.

What is Stretch & Recovery?

Stretch & Recovery classes are designed to be deeply supportive and accessible, offering gentle blended movement to release tension and support recovery from daily life, stress, or other physical activity. These classes include slow stretching, mindful transitions, and generous rest.

Stretch & Recovery includes some elements of a Yin class with longer held stretches as well as slightly more movement and flexibility in how poses are held. The intention is ease rather than intensity, supporting tired, sore, or overworked bodies and helping you reconnect with comfort and spaciousness. Class will also include self applied massage using different types of balls.
