This practice blends gentle movement, quiet stillness, and deep relaxation. It's suitable for any level, from beginner to advanced.

It starts with a somatic flow to shake away tension and connect with physical sensation, breath, and emotion. Somatic movements might include tapping, stretching, body waves, or free-form  movements that sync body, mind, and emotion.

Next we move into Yin Yoga, a quiet, meditative practice that allows you to slow down and quiet your body and your brain. Yin poses are passive and focused on deep fascia release rather than strength. Yin Yoga also improves flexibility, boosts circulation, and reduces tension.

Lastly, we sink into the magic of Yoga Nidra — known as “yogic sleep” — for deep rest and restoration. Neurobehavioral research shows that Yoga Nidra can be an excellent practice for helping with anxiety and sleep challenges. It's done lying down in a comfortable position.

Classes are held over Zoom. Cameras are optional. All movements are an invitation, not a requirement. Do what feels good in your body.
