Release into Rest

This class blends gentle movement with the stillness of yin and the support of restorative yoga. An ideal almost-end-of-week practice to soften tight areas, quiet the mind, and transition from “doing” into rest.

Grab a tennis ball, golf ball and an old broom handle, or the fancier rolling versions of these things if you have them. We’ll sometimes use the tools to access points and blocks that keep us from moving as freely as we should, and that cause pain and stiffness.

While not necessary, a stack of hard towels or blankets (or bolster), books (or blocks) and a belt (or yoga strap) are useful in this practice.

Find a private, quiet space for yourself. This practice gives us a break from the noise.

Whether it’s Andrea, DiDi or Nicole leading the class, you can expect slow, gentle movement to release, and also Yin and Restorative postures.

Yin Yoga allows us to increase movement by targeting tissue and myofascial blocks around joints. We do this by finding our edge in a posture, then finding stillness and keeping it for several minutes.

Restorative Yoga is a therapeutic practice in which postures are supported by soft pillows/bolsters, cozy blankets and blocks for long periods. This helps our mind to quiet and our body to release deeply held tensions.

No prior yoga experience is needed.
