Yin Yoga's work may be quieter, but it runs deep: essential nourishment for the body's tissues; exploring into emotions that connect with certain movements, injuries, or traumas; diving into the mind's ability to find inner peace amongst the outer chaos.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn Is The Metal Element. Classes will incorporate aspects of the Lung/Large Intestine Meridian; emotions around change, grief, sadness, letting go, finding clarity; breathwork; & turning inward as we begin to move towards winter.
Live classes are FREE or pay-what-you want. Replay streaming access available only with purchase of a package or membership.

My classes often include guided meditation. This enables a settling-in to the present time & space. It allows us to notice our pacing of breath & sensory perceptions in & outside of our bodies.
Mindful Restorative Movement assists our bodymind to relax, create safe space, let go of tension, encourage circulation.
We then progress to deeper, therapeutic work. Yin Yoga's focus, through longer held postures + awareness of breath, helps us target & nourish connective tissues.
Connective tissue encases our muscles & organs. It supports our joints. It facilitates transport of our body's fluids & nutrients. Connective tissue contains many nerve endings & can respond to physical & emotional pain.
Healthy, supple connective tissue can enable smooth movement, greater endurance, better self-awareness of our body's position & balance. Dehydrated or over-stressed connective tissue can lead to restricted, stiffer movement & build up of chronic pain or tension from held trauma.
With gentle application & repetition of practice, we can release emotional binds to assist our bodies in recovery from myriad stresses resulting from life events, physical labor & athletic demands.
With Yin Yoga, we use props. This is not because we CAN'T do a posture; rather, knowing how our unique bodies CAN approach the shape of a pose to target the joint or body line we want to access.
Props used with Restorative Yoga, often function for sensory benefit. We position the body to relax, feel safe, & let go of tension in supportive, healthful postures. In this way, we may open ourselves up to the recovery of body & mind.
I also create bespoke handcrafted macramé yoga straps & accessories. Click the link below for an eco-friendly way to support your practice & to support my fiber arts shop!
Are your yoga classes beginner-friendly?
Yes! My Zoom classes aim to provide easy-to-follow verbal instruction, plus physical demonstrations, options & modifications to offer accessible ways of exploring every posture.
When attending live class, there is no pressure for you to show up on camera. While streaming classes, you can press pause whenever you need more time. Take it at your own pace.
Can advanced yogis & athletes find benefit in these "gentle" exercises?
You can! Following my cues will guide you to your own personal edge of intensity for each pose. Yin Yoga acknowledges with respect that every day is different in the bodymind experience. The greater your personal intuition becomes, the deeper benefits you will reap in your practice.
What are common Yin Yoga props or substitutes I can find at home?
Bolster --> substitute a large firm couch cushion or firm pillows
Blocks --> try a stack of books
Strap --> use a long winter scarf, or adjustable belt
Blankets --> like soft, flat cotton throws or large beach towels.
Do you teach other yoga styles beyond Yin Yoga & Mindful Movement?
There is great importance to a wellness or fitness plan involving activities of various intensities & styles of movement. My classes focus on the slow, restorative practice of Yin Yoga & Mindful Movement. I invite you to pepper these classes into your active (Yang) weekly routine or workout arc to maintain balance = Yin + Yang ☯️
