Radhika’s Class:

Yin Yoga, (All Levels)

Mondays from 2:15 to 3:30 pm

Yin Yoga is a quiet practice in which each posture is held for a longer time, while encouraging the entire body to relax. In this 75 min class, each posture will be maintained for at least 3 min while normal breathing is maintained.

Yin postures typically target the lower back, sacrum and hips, while also working on knees and ankles. This form of practice focuses on the joints and connective tissues by encouraging more opening and spaciousness in each joint. The result is that more freedom of movement, lightness and relaxation will be felt after each practice.

This class is suitable for beginners and all levels of practitioners, except for those who are pregnant (when it is advisable to attend pre-natal classes with specialized care), injured, or recovering from recent surgeries.
