Melt is a slow, soulful yin practice designed to help you soften the edges, unwind deep tension, and slip into a state of ease. This class invites you to dissolve the layers of stress that accumulate throughout daily life, using long-held shapes, steady breath, and mindful stillness to coax the body into release. You’ll ease into poses that target the connective tissues, hips, spine, and shoulders- areas where we tend to hold the most tension. Expect quiet guidance, soothing imagery, and plenty of space to simply feel. As the body softens, the mind follows. Melt is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect inward, and let yourself be held in stillness. By the end of class, you’ll feel lighter, softer, and more spacious, like something inside you has gently loosened. Everyone is welcome—no experience necessary!

This class blends the deep stillness of Yin yoga with guided meditation to help you slow down and reconnect — both with your body and your breath. We’ll begin with long-held, floor-based Yin poses to gently open the body, release tension, and prepare the nervous system for stillness. From there, you’ll be guided into a simple, accessible meditation to calm the mind and deepen your inner awareness. No experience with yoga or meditation is necessary — just come as you are. Whether you’re feeling stressed, scattered, or simply need space to breathe, this class offers a gentle reset from the pace of daily life. Expect minimal movement, lots of stillness, and a soft return to yourself.

Each class in this series offered Tuesday mornings from 9:15 – 10:15 offers a coordinated collection of the challenging, slow-moving, ballistic and/or controlled muscle- building workouts. As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass and with it the ability to do the things that we would love to be able to do for the rest of our life, but we don’t have to lose that muscle mass. We can defend our muscle mass, mobility, and co-ordination.

Strength training doesn’t just enhance the benefits of yoga, it increases a yogi’s ability to not only achieve challenging poses but also enhances their ability to perform activities of daily living with less fatigue. When we build muscle, our bodies naturally burn more glucose even at rest; increase bone density; and demonstrate more muscle definition. As you get stronger you will notice that your balance improves, and your yoga practice improves.

A yin yoga practice that gently explores the edge between sensation and strain - physically and mentally. Through long held supported poses and steady breath, we’ll soften areas of tightness in the body while easing mental tension and overactivity. This class is about easing not pushing - edging toward challenge with curiosity, then allowing space and time for it to unwind.
