Yin Yoga (Monday)

Instructor: Will Harris (https://www.getlofti.com/well-with-will)

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga. Postures are held for extended periods to target deep connective tissues—ligaments, joints, and bones—that aren't the focus in more dynamic “yang” styles of yoga. Through a meditative approach, simple postures are held longer to find stillness while creating space for the body and mind to renew itself and slow down. Suitable for all levels, this class will leave you with a new level of openness and relaxation throughout.

Vin/Yin(Thursday)

Instructor: Lavon Egleton

This class offers the best of both worlds. It begins with a vinyasa sequence meant to draw your awareness into the present moment with breath and movement This practice engages muscles, builds focus, and expends energy which preps for the stillness to come. The class then transitions the cooling counterbalance of Yin. Longer held poses allow you to embrace the power stillness and acceptance to slowly and safely target connective tissues and joints. You well leave feeling present and more flexible in mind and body.
