Class Structure
Tuesday – Yin Yoga (12:00 PM – 1:00 PM)
A slow, restorative practice that targets the deeper connective tissues of the body. Through long, supported holds and quiet introspection, Yin invites release on both a physical and energetic level. Each session explores specific meridian lines, encouraging balance and subtle internal reset.
Wednesday – Hatha Yoga (6:00 PM – 7:00 PM)
A grounded, intentional practice focused on alignment, breath-led movement, and functional strength. Hatha offers structure and clarity through foundational postures, mindful transitions, and steady presence.
