Yin Yoga
Suitable for all levels of yoga practitioners, Yin Yoga provides a deep foundational opening for the connective tissue of the body in ways that more standard Asana approaches do not. Robert’s program, while hip intensive, also addresses the spine and shoulders in addition to invigorating and revitalizing the tendons and ligaments. Postures are done from either seated or prone positions, and softly held for four minutes, allowing time for the entire body to respond and relax.

Yin Yoga is the perfect complement to the more dynamic Yang styles of yoga, and will enhance the overall progress and safety of everyone’s yoga journey. Come and discover the benefits that Yin Yoga provides, and how much more open and balanced your body and practice will feel.

A request – please think of others and don’t wear perfumes or colognes to yoga classes. Many people are sensitive or allergic to their contents.
