Chair Yoga
This class is a gentle form of yoga. You will practice yoga sitting in a chair or standing using the chair for support. Complicated maneuvers and complex movements are NOT present in this class. The chair is used due to the difficulty in getting down and up off the floor. You will learn many yoga postures, breathing techniques, meditation and ways of relaxation with the aid of a chair.

Come experience the art of relaxation. You will feel rejuvenated and renewed during and after each and every class! All levels welcome. LYB FRIENDLY CLASS

Yin Yoga
​Practicing surrender and receptivity. Slow it down for a nourishing and spacious practice. The intention of Yin Yoga is to safely and appropriately stress the connective tissue (ligaments, fascia and sometimes tendons) in the body rather then the muscles and cardiovascular system. Poses are held for at least 3 minutes to give the muscles a chance to relax allowing you to go deeper. This class is open to all levels and is a great compliment to a more active practice. All levels welcome. LYB FRIENDLY CLASS

​Gentle/Yoga Nidra
Take this time to give back to your body. Allow yourself to gently move and breathe in the body you're in today. This class is great for beginners as well as regular practitioners looking to unwind and relax. The second half of class will be Yoga Nidra, a guided healing relaxation practiced while lying on the floor in savasana to quiet the mind and find peace in your body. Leave feeling grounded, refreshed and rejuvenated. All levels welcome. LYB FRIENDLY CLASS
