At Carolina Yoga Company (Carrboro Location) Join me for this three-part series exploring the fundamentals of Yin Yoga. Each session will include discussion about the principles of Yin, a practice to apply the information, and end with a Yin practice. While Yin yoga is not the same as restorative yoga, it does have some restorative characteristics, and can be more or less intense depending on the approach. Modifications will be offered to make the practice suitable to all yogis. Each class will:

incorporate floor postures that are both strengthening (yang) and deep tissue stretches (yin), promoting a balanced body
practice the mapping of sensation in the mind and body to our responses, and developing tools to replace reactivity with the tools of the mind and body
explore meditation and breathing techniques to promote both inner and outer alignment to explore a healthy edge that targets the body’s energy centers.

Class 1: Identifying hindrances to a free mind and body, mapping of sensation in the mind and body using Yin Yoga
Class 2: Rising Yin practices to support the spring energy and Yin Techniques for cultivating awareness and insight.
Class 3: Meditation techniques used during a Yin Yoga practice to cultivate awareness

All props will be provided, although a hand towel may come in handy. While this practice is accessible to yogis of all levels, the ability to get up and down from the floor is required.

$45 for all three classes, or drop in to any one class for $20. More discounts on CarolinaYogaCompany website.
