Description

Welcome to a powerful Yin Yang Yoga class, focused on cultivating full-body self-connection. This practice combines elements of strength and surrender, offering a balanced experience for your body and mind.

We begin with 30 minutes of yin yoga and Butterfly pose, encouraging self-connection and the recognition of our inner refuge. Trusting in our own presence, we can navigate life's complexities with more ease and find contentment in caring for ourselves.

Moving into Pigeon pose, we explore appropriate edges, embracing grace, gratitude, and acceptance. Stillness becomes our guide, allowing the magic of yin yoga to unfold, nurturing our bones, joints, and meridians. Surrender to gravity and the sensations, experiencing the power of non-doing. In Bananasana, we deepen our self-connection, building trust in ourselves and our lives.

Transitioning to the 30 minute yang/hatha portion, we engage in a series of dynamic poses, including Hand to Big Toe Pose, Bridge Pose, Dead Bug Pose, Cat Pose, Side Plank, Downward Dog, Warrior 3, Dance Pose, Uttanasana, Easy Pose Twist, and more. These poses further support self-connection and confidence.

Finally, we conclude with a restful Savasana, allowing the benefits of this practice to integrate fully into your being. In savasana, we invite you to reflect on the wisdom of the poem "New Trust" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer. It beautifully encapsulates the essence of building trust within ourselves and our lives.

Join us on this journey of self-connection and empowerment. Embrace the balance of yin and yang, and discover the transformative power of finding refuge in your own presence in this 60 minute yin/yang yoga class.
