Kayla, my daughter, demonstrating Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga:

• Target the deeper tissues in the body, using slow, relaxed and supportive floor poses
• This is a meditative yoga that promotes inner calm.
• Yin Yoga can improve all forms of movement from everyday activities to athletic performance.
• Yin yoga supports overall health, from the mood to immunity by targeting the meridian pathways, simular to an accupuncture session.
• Yin yoga is modified to meet all levels, if however you have a medical condition, please seek advise from your Medical Provider prior to starting yoga. 

Yang Yoga, demonstrated with Tina

Hatha/Yang Yoga

When we work with standing poses it is critical to do poses with attention, good alignment  that prevent injury and help to contribute to improving posture, core stability, strength and flexibility.

Somatic

Somatic involved deep, inner awareness of tightness and tension and teaching the neuromuscular system to release stored stress and tension that lingers unconsciously creating discomfort on all levels of our being. My training in Somatic  includes Christa Rypin, author of Yummy Yoga and Dr. Don Stapleton, creatorof Self Awakening Yoga.
