APRIL 4: Restorative Yin Yoga
Come chill with us at our free Restorative Yin Yoga Sessions!
Relax and recharge your body and mind with this weekly community offering.
Yin yoga can complement an already active life or help those who feel distracted by “mind chatter” The term “yin yoga” comes from the Taoist tradition. Yin is about finding stillness and cooling the body.
Yin yoga is practiced sitting or lying on the floor. There are no planks, no warriors, no core work. No dynamic sun salutations. No standing poses. The pace is slow, so you need to wear comfortable clothes and bring your own yoga mat. The classes should be suitable for beginners and more experienced practitioners alike.
Yin yoga is also for anyone who is a more interested in restorative practice than other forms of exercise. Yin can also be a great starting point for anyone interested in meditation as it has such an internal focus.
Thursdays at 5:30 PM in the Om Studio. Please RVSP at officemansonshall.org
