Five Element Yin Yoga is an infusion of Qi Gong and Yoga to help you re-integrate back into the natural world and to understand your relationship with the seasons, your emotions, your health, and ultimately with yourself. This is a class designed to nourish the mind, body, and spirit while also empowering you to harmonize health naturally through movement and breath.
Yin yoga is an inner journey, closer to the bones, helpful to balance the predominantly yang practices. This is a slower paced style of yoga which includes passive poses (or relaxing the body and muscles) combined with holding poses longer while focusing on the breath and being present. Many of the poses are seated or lying on your back or stomach. Yin is a great counter balance to more active styles of movement.
This is a gentle moving class and appropriate for all levels.
