Yoga for Gentle Grounding with Rachel
Fridays @ 10am
Yoga for Gentle Grounding offers a gentle, balanced combination of yoga poses, stretching, conscious breathing, and intervals of relaxation and reflection. We will emphasize seated and reclined poses, offering us the opportunity to connect with the earth and feel rooted in our bodies. Supported by the ground and within ourselves, we will cultivate calmness, while continuing to build strength and flexibility.
This class is suitable for all practitioners. Beginners to yoga are welcome, as are those with somewhat reduced mobility. There are also benefits for more experienced yogis who would like the time and space afforded by a slow-paced class to enter deeply into the poses and to practice grounding and reconnecting with themselves.

Yoga for Joint Health & Recovery with Jill
Saturdays @ 9am
Having been a teacher of multiple modalities for 30 years, Jill brings a breadth of knowledge and experience to this class to meet each student where they are and help them feel better in their bodies. Yoga for Joint Health and Recovery starts with an extended period of floor work to get the joints moving in a gentle and somatic way and held poses and breath work sprinkled in as treats after discovering new sensations through those specific joint movements. There is always a healthy dose of hip, spine, and pelvic focus, balance work, use of props, and encouragement of individual exploration within poses and movements so that each student can feel empowered and successful in bringing the practice to their own unique situations. Whether you’re looking to recover from fitness activities, down-regulate your nervous system from the stresses of adulting, or just move your body in an accessible way, this class is for everyone. Throw in some humor and sass, a sense of community and camaraderie, and a carefully curated playlist that may or may not elicit occasional singing and dancing, and you’ve got yourself a fun and relaxing way to kick off your weekend.
