#3 Fundamentals of YIN YOGA Series, August 6, 13, 20, 7:30pm CYCo

At Carolina Yoga Company, CYCo (Carrboro Location) join me for this three-part series exploring the fundamentals of Yin Yoga. Each session will include discussion about the principles of Yin, a practice to apply the information, and end with a Yin practice. While Yin yoga is not the same as restorative yoga, it does have some restorative characteristics, and can be more or less intense depending on the approach. Modifications will be offered to make the practice suitable to all yogis. Each class will:

• incorporate floor postures that are both strengthening (yang) and deep tissue stretches (yin), promoting a balanced body
• practice the mapping of sensation in the mind and body to our responses, and developing tools to replace reactivity with the tools of the mind and body
• explore meditation and breathing techniques to promote both inner and outer alignment to explore a healthy edge that targets the body’s energy centers.
