Thursday Night Summer Workshops :Candlelight Yin with Angelique

September 7, 2017 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

Thursday night is the new Friday night! This summer Sky House is hosting unique and engaging workshops every Thursday night! From yoga to herbal ceremonies you will find something that will engage your body, mind, and soul. Early Registration: $15 Drop-In/Day of: $20 Aerial classes: $20/$30

Candlelight Yin Yoga is a deep, meditative, and often profound practice. This practice will be lit entirely by candlelight helping us to balance our emotions, still our minds and open the deep connective tissues in the body. Candlelight yoga offers a calming way to end the day, beginning with a slow flow to build strength, flexibility, and balance, followed by some restorative yoga, and of course, candlelight. The class is accessible to beginners and also offers some challenging alternatives for more experienced students.
Most yoga practices help improve strength, flexibility, and balance; but at some point the muscles reach the limit of their flexibility, and people often still struggle with joint problems and difficulty sitting still for prolonged periods. In the practice of Yin Yoga, the deeper connective tissues are gently stretched and strengthened with a different approach—holding passive poses for several minutes at a time, allowing time for the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia to release. This can open up new flexibility of the joints and connective tissue and can give us a feeling of ease and lightness in the body. Many report feeling more relaxed and open after a yin yoga practice.

This workshop will include instruction on getting comfortable in the poses, breathing, and meditation. We will use mats, blankets, and blocks to support the full experience of the poses. A gentle yet deep class suitable for all levels; modifications and props provided.

Advanced Registration: $15
At the Door: $20
