9:30AM Yin Yoga Class

Yin yoga works deeply into our body with passive, longer-held poses. It targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians. This is contrast to a Yang yoga practice such as Vinyasa yoga which targets the muscles.

Yin Yoga is particularly suited to help evoke the relaxation response; it also addresses connective tissue tightness around the hips, pelvis, low back and pelvic floor. Yin yoga is not a restorative practice. It is highly effective for persistent pelvic, low back and hip pain.

Pilates Classes

Pilates movement exercises train several muscle groups at the same time through smooth, continuous movements. Emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and complete concentration on smooth flowing movement you become aware of how your body feels and how to control its movement. No other exercise system is as gentle to your body while giving it a challenging workout. Modifications to the exercises allow for a range of difficulty from beginner to more advanced.

Over the past 20 years a growing body of scientific literature has started to provide evidence that Pilates can reduce pain, improve functional movement, improve posture and fine tune trunk flexibility and lower and upper limb range of movement.
