This class is a combination of vinyasa and yin styles of practice. A blend of active and passive postures; the first portion of the class is a breath-centered vinyasa practice which includes standing postures, to integrate breath, movement, and awareness, aimed at slowing down the mind, body, and breath. Followed with the passive long holds of yin to target joints, connective tissues, and fascia. Yin poses are floor-based and supported with props to create as little effort while holding for 2-5 minutes. This style of practice is designed to take you from frazzled to flat out in 75 minutes and we all need a little of that in our lives.

Wake up the body and mind for the day ahead as you flow from posture to posture using the breath as your guide. You’ll leave the class with a calm mind feeling energised for the day ahead.
