This is the perfect class to wear your comfy clothes & layers to keep you cozy throughout this easeful practice.

Embodied Insight Yoga
Tune the body and mind with deeply healing somatic movement sequenced to help release long-held patterns of tension and torsion in the hips, spine, shoulders, and neck. This unique class begins with gentle rocking and undulating movements done on the ground ~ flushing the body of fatigue, rehydrating tissues, and assisting in re-regulating the body’s stress response. Yogis then move through a flow of standing, balancing, and seated postures to build resilience and strength in the hips and core before relaxing breath exercises and a deep rest in savasana. All levels and bodies welcome with modifications and alternative options given, along with the encouragement to adapt what is offered to suit you.

Foundations Flow is an opportunity for both beginners and seasoned practitioners to break down common poses, learn how to adapt poses for your body and understand the interconnection of breath, movement and yoga philosophy in our practice. Some classes are based around the building blocks for a specific set of postures whereas others will work with a specific aspect of the yoga system. If you are curious about yoga or love yoga already and want to build the foundations for a lifelong practice, this class is for you!

Gentle Rest
This class is in service to moving and resting our bodies like we love them! We will focus on gently tending to our minds, bodies, and breath. Beginning our time together with gentle somatic movements, body warming stretches, and breathing exercises, we will then make a comfy journey into restorative practice and time in meditation. Many props are available to support you in this practice, including chairs. The intention of this class is to be an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming space for all bodies and all people wanting to embrace rest in their lives. We hope to build an inventory of care practices together, for both self and collective, to hold us gently in a society that does not always support our rest. Together, we will dream up our own shelters in the storm.
