<h5>Slow Flow to Yin Every Wednesday at 6:45 PM $25 drop-in rate</h5>
<a href="https://www.svasthayogahub.com/calendar" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.svasthayogahub.com</a>
This class offers a harmonious blend of slow, deliberate movement and deep, sustained stretches, creating a peaceful yet dynamic practice.
The class starts with a slow flow that gradually transitions to yin yoga where each pose is held for 2-3 minutes, allowing for a deep release of tension in the body’s connective tissues such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia.
The slow pace of the transitions, combined with the long-held poses, creates a space for introspection and relaxation, making it ideal for releasing both physical and emotional tension.
The focus is on cultivating a mindful connection to the breath and sensations in the body, allowing practitioners to deepen their awareness with each movement and breath and to resent their nervous system.
Very effective stress-buster to ground yourself during the holiday season. 
All levels welcome -&nbsp;Beginner Friendly&nbsp;

<h5>Breathe and Restore with Yin Yoga Third Thursday of the month at 7 PM (this sessions is 75 min long) $25 drop-in rate</h5>
<a href="https://www.svasthayogahub.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.svasthayogahub.com</a> 
This class takes place the THIRD Thursday of the month.
Join us for a 75-minute deeply restorative class and experience the profound benefits of this slow-paced, meditative practice.
 This session will start with breathing techniques to ground you, down regulate the nervous system and increase the healing benefits of the Yin Yoga practice.

Yin Yoga targets the deeper tissues of the body, such as the connective tissues, joints, and bones. Through gentle, longer-held passive stretches, we will release tension and stress, allowing our bodies and minds&nbsp;to relax and unwind. As you surrender into each pose, your mind will quiet and your spirit will lift, leaving you feeling calm, centered, and at peace.
Delve deeper into the practice and discover that Yin is a journey of tissue rejuvenation, nourishing the connective tissues, ligaments, and joints that support our entire being. By honoring these tissues, we will cultivate greater flexibility, resilience, and overall well-being.
Join us for a journey of deep relaxation and inner stillness, and let's melt into the serenity of the present moment together. 


Appropriate for all levels.

Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow. Prioritizing accessibility helps more people access your content, services, and opportunities. contact@accessibilityinpractice.com
