Yin Yoga is a slow, quiet practice that achieves deep and intense stretching of the connective tissues surrounding the joints, allowing for greater flexibility over time. In this class, we will focus on opening the hips while releasing all tension from the body. While the practice is appropriate for everyone, it is not necessarily “easy”. The depth and intensity of the work can be challenging both physically and mentally. Of course, modifications will be offered for all levels. Please join us!

Kirtan w/Roger 7:30-8:30 pm (Last Friday of most months)
Kirtan is call-and-response chanting (singing) practiced as part of India’s bhakti yoga devotional tradition. For those who find meditation challenging, kirtan is a form of mantra meditation set to music. Singing the mantra can be a way to lull our minds into quiet and deeper experiences of ourselves. Lyric sheets will be provided and no previous musical experience is necessary. A donation-based gathering, just bring yourself and an open mind.
Our Schedule and Teachers are subject to change.
