SUNDAYS

 

YIN YOGA

3:00PM – 4:00PM Sarratt Room 128 * David Heustess

$10.00 per Class * Register Weekly in the Marketplace

We can’t think of a better way to end the week and approach the weekend than with a meditative style of yoga. Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with asanas (postures) that are held on the floorfor longer periods of time than in other styles.  This approach targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians. This is in contrast to a Yang yoga practice such as Vinyasa yoga which targets the muscles. This class is open to all levels of experience, participants should wear loose comfortable clothes, be willing to explore yoga on the floor and bring a yoga mat or thick blanket if possible.
