Description:

Yin Yang Yoga - A perfect balance of passive and active elements of yoga. Drawing harmony to the mind and body while syncing the breath with the Yang postures and slowing the nervous system down with the more passive and restorative Yin poses.

Qi Gong can be thought of as a study in the lost Art of Deep Relaxation.

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi Gong is a holistic system of coordinated Breath work, Movement and Mindfulness.

The class will involve; Guided deep breathing to calm the nervous system, stretching to open the body's meridian channels to increase the flow of the body's natural energy, and a series of slow graceful movements to cultivate lightness and harmony in both body, mind and spirit.
