This detoxifying workshop will bring together the practices of Yin Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, and Restorative Yoga. Beginning with a quiet practice and remaining in passive asanas for several minutes, poses will target the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body. New depths in postures, deeper ranges of motion, and increased energy flow are just a few of the benefits of a Yin practice. Class will move into a sweaty detox flow designed to open hip, shoulder, hamstring, and quadriceps areas as well as strengthen the core. Finishing in supported heart openers and other restorative poses, students will feel relaxed and revitalized as we move into the holiday season.
