Gentlemen! Are you a runner? Cycler? Golfer? Weekend Warrior? Or even a stressed out Office-Jack-of-all-Trades? Well, the benefits of yoga are NOT just for ladies! Enjoy your own class where you can reduce stress, invest in your body, and up your game. Geared towards getting into the tight places while working on strength and range of motion, this class will be a combination of Yin/Vinyasa styles of yoga. Yin yoga works to open up your flexibility by targeting the deep connective tissue with quiet and intense holds. Vinyasa, a moving and flowing yoga, will maintain and build strength and mobility in your body. Emphasis on breath and mindfulness will also help to reduce stress and clear that cluttered mind. Beginners and the inflexible welcome.

YIN YOGA • taraNa Yoga
WEDNESDAYS • 9:30-10:45am
Still the mind. Let life slow down. Enter a slower, quieter and deeper practice where yielding into poses is encouraged. Yin poses are held longer allowing deeper penetration into the fascia, connective tissues and joints. Bolsters, blankets and blocks will allow you to explore deeper stretches without injury and allow for deeper opening in the body. This is an approachable practice for all bodies that also invites challenge and a deeper listening.
