Myofacial Release
This fun and interactive class will focus on techniques to release your muscles, fascia, connective tissues and tendons. Self myofascial release (SMFR) is a self massage technique, utilizing blocks, balls and other props to help you relax. We will learn about the benefits of releasing the stress held in tight connective tissues and muscles. SMFR stimulates and relaxes constricted tissues.
Tight myofascial tissue can restrict movement in your joints and muscles, causing tightness, tension, and ‘knots’ you can’t get rid of. Because these areas are tighter, they may create imbalances in the way you move, with can create additional tightness that you’re not immediately aware of.
These techniques are being incorporated into some Yin yoga classes as well as other classes. You will feel like you have had a massage and can use these techniques in classes and at home.

Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a practice for relaxing and calming the nervous system that bridges asana with the physical and mental benefits of yoga. By tapping into how our body responds to relaxation in a safe, secure environment, Restorative Yoga can be a transformative practice. It is grounded by principles that promote comfort and safety so that the mind can find a state of deep relaxation. This relaxed state allows access to the parasympathetic nervous system, the body's natural relaxation response.

Book Club
“Say what you mean: A mindful approach to non-violent communication”
Join Jeannette and Kyla for an 8-week exploration of “Say What You Mean”, a book about mindful communication.
Communication is hard. Non-violent communication offers an approach that embraces the belief that all humans are compassionate beings but become difficult (violent) as a learned behavior to get their needs met. Learn how to apply principles of non-violent communication with principles of yoga and mindfulness such as (1) presence: bringing mindful awareness to the interaction, (2) intention: clarifying and setting a goal for the interaction, and (3) attention: learning to really hear and understand in a way that enables you to navigate the difficulties, express yourself clearly, and listen like it really matters--which it most certainly does.
In studio and virtual.
