yoga: flow
With an updated and contemporary approach to the practice of vinyasa yoga, our Flow format’s been developed with a foundation based in modern biomechanics and exercise science, while embracing some of the more traditional elements in the yoga asana practice. You can expect to link breath with movement, build warmth and awareness in your body, and refine your own personalized mindfulness practice. All levels welcome, no experience required. (Mat required)
YOGA: YIN / Restore
An excellent counterbalance to the physical and mental intensity of climbing, you’ll explore passive stretching, restorative shapes, three-dimensional breathing, and simple meditation techniques within a warm and relaxing environment. Yin yoga offers a slower paced practice focused around the lengthening of ligaments, fascia, and connective tissues rather than muscle. Asanas (poses) are held for several minutes in order to promote mobility in “nonmalleable” areas. All levels welcome, no experience required. (Mat required)
