Class Overview

Immerse yourself in a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience with Element Yoga's signature "Chill" class, Yin & Restorative. This class harmoniously blends the slow, meditative postures of Yin Yoga with the gentle, supportive techniques of Restorative Yoga, creating a unique practice that soothes the body, mind, and soul. Ideal for those seeking stress relief, increased flexibility, and deep relaxation, Yin & Restorative is perfect for all levels. Class Variations: Classes with Douglas Johnson (who trained under Yin Yoga pioneer Paul Grilley) will be pure Yin Yoga, an exercise focused on stretching muscles, strengthening joints, and balancing meridians (energetic channels). There will not be a focus on relaxation in this class. About Yin Yoga: Yin Yoga is a slow-paced practice that involves holding poses for extended periods, typically between 3 to 5 minutes. This practice targets the deeper connective tissues, such as ligaments, fascia, and joints, enhancing flexibility and promoting joint mobility. Yin Yoga encourages mindfulness and inner stillness, making it a perfect practice for balancing a more active lifestyle or fitness routine. About Restorative Yoga: Restorative Yoga focuses on deep relaxation and stress relief through supported postures held for longer durations, up to 10 minutes. Using props to fully support the body, this practice allows you to release tension, calm the nervous system, and enter a state of deep rest. Restorative Yoga is gentle and accessible, making it suitable for everyone, including those recovering from injury or experiencing chronic stress. Join us for Yin & Restorative, and discover the profound benefits of slowing down, tuning in, and finding stillness within. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a complete beginner, this class offers a sanctuary for deep healing and rejuvenation. Class is warm. Props are provided.
