Flexibility & Yin Yoga
Hip Opening Class
Opening the hips can create more ease in general mobility and surrounding areas too: especially your lower back. This class works into the deeper tissue to create some space and movement in the hip joint.
This class is an excellent stand-alone yin class, but it would also be a lovely gentle precursor to one of the other flow or strength classes on this site. Enjoy. |
Yintastic
This class combines the traditional yin class with some shorter mobility-inspired poses. The combination of the two helps you ease into things while keeping a sense of flow and movement in the poses. You'll open the hips, hamstrings, adductors, and shoulders in this class. See you on the mat.

Evening Flow
Let's unwind from the day and settle the mind with some gentle, longer holds and a quieter practice. This sequence will help you transition from day time into a more mellow restful evening.

Relief for the Feet; Happiness in the Hips
This yin class includes some opening of the connective tissue on the soles of the feet. Perfect for runners or those who wear heeled shoes fairly often. By opening up the connective tissue, you're creating greater ease and comfort in the feet. We'll then do some lovely stretches for your back, hips, and shoulders.

Yoga for the Sleep Deprived *30 mins*
This class offers loving support for the sleep deprived/ jet-lagged/ wired and tired crew who still need to get on with their day. Enjoy this simple practice designed to help soothe your tired mind and limbs. Longer holds help gently stimulate your system and let go. Perfect for all levels; anytime.

Yoga for When You're Frazzled
Sometimes we benefit from setting aside 15 minutes to just slow the heck down. When we stop, drop, and check in with ourselves we can begin to clear the mind of all the spinning thoughts and chatter. Give yourself permission to really try this out and see how you feel in body and in mind.
|
Pigeon Pose and Happy Hamstrings
This would be an excellent class for anyone who feels that their hamstrings could do with some attention. Athletes: I hear you! We'll start by addressing the pigeon-type shapes, which open up the outer hips. From there there's time to do some gentle to moderate hamstring stretches.
|
Open Your Shoulders, Hips and Quads
Poses such as wheel and bridge pose are often greatly improved when we take time to open up the shoulders and hip flexors first. It also makes it easier to reach your arms up over your head. Let's add some quad stretches in while you're here, and feel your backbends improve.
|
Kinder, Gentler Yin
Sometimes stretches can be intense. Let's ease into things more gently. In this practice we'll open the hips especially, so be patient with yourself, start gently and you'll make huge gains over time.
|
Marinate
In this 15 minute mobility class, you will increase your flexibility through mindful breathing, longer holds, and fluid movements. These longer holds provide an opportunity to focus on your breath, ground your energy, and appreciate the body you have. This class is perfect for after a hard workout, run, or at the start of your day. You will leave this class relaxed and rejuvenated.
|
Marinate 2.0
Starting with sukasana "easy pose" we look for ease in each of the shapes as we open up the hips. For each of the shapes look for ways to create a pleasing stretch as you settle and marinate in the shape. An all-levels flexibility class.
|
Shifting Gears
This is not quite a yin class, but it's too slow to be considered a regular flow. It moves at the pace of molasses. And there are times when that's exactly what you need to shift gears. Either it's a gentle class to set the tone for your day and wake you up, or it's the soothing antidote to the busyness of the day just past.
|
Bedtime Yin
Get your mug of hot water with lemon and roll out your mat. We'll wind down your day with this 15 minute yin class. Stretch, bend, and breathe it out before having a restful sleep. Practice this class regularly to support your ease of movement, or use it as needed to relieve areas of tension and discomfort.
|
No Props? No Problem 1
This class comprises of simple, at-home stretches designed to target commonly tight areas of the body. No props are needed here, and we'll instead use body weight to gently create sensations in the muscles and fascia (connective tissues).
|
No Props? No Problem 2
This can be a stand alone class or a follow-on from No Props? No Problem 1. This class comprises of simple, at-home stretches designed to target commonly tight areas of the body. We'll again use body weight to gently create sensations in the muscles and fascia (connective tissues).

Enter the Dragon
Build your own form in this class; find a way to make yin suit you. You'll work into the ankles, hips, and hamstrings, allowing each part to relax and release unwanted tension. If time permits, add savasana on at the end.
