Yin Yoga
Yin is a quiet yoga form that targets the connective tissue of the hips, pelvis and lower spine. Postures are held three to five minutes or as long as ten minutes at a time. This type of practice is complementary to all vigorous physical activity, including some of the more muscular Yoga styles and helps prepare the body-mind for meditation.
PranaVayu Yoga
This practice blends specialized vinyasa sequencing, a unique system of skeletal alignment principles, guided meditative practices, and a Buddhist-inspired philosophy of universal interconnectedness to facilitate positive mind body change. The meditation component of PranaVayu Yoga teaches us how to calm the body and mind, develop meditative insights, and facilitate an attitude of friendliness and compassion toward ourselves and others.
