Our Mission
Through mindful movement and meditative balance, Dogwood Studios provides yoga therapy services to help empower our clients to progress toward greater health and well-being.
With our many years of experience, we can help you find balance with the following forms of yoga:
YIN.
Shady Side. A practice in which the muscles are relaxed associated with the pose, allowing for a release in the deeper fascia layers and other connective tissue.
Yin involves poses (asanas) performed on the floor comfortably holding the poses for several minutes while relaxing the associated muscles.
Yin yoga enhances the natural range of motion of the joints and facilitates a meditation practices.
Yin Yoga tests our patience and ability to not need an active state to be in the moment, and not multi-task, while benefiting our joints.
YANG.
Sunny Side. A more energetic and active practice. There are two types of Yang classes: 1) Functional movement based classes focus on the fundamentals of yoga poses (asanas), breath, gaze, strength and mindfulness applied to the skeleton, fascia and other connective tissue. These sessions are practiced in a moderate temperature controlled space; 2) Yoga Flow is where the fundamentals of yoga are synchronized together for a more vigorous practice.
In both Yin and Yang focused classes, our goal is wholeness and balance.
PERSONALIZED.
