Instructor: Mary Lou MacGregor
This yoga class will move through a series of asanas or yoga poses that create an accessible, transformative practice. Different poses are

health, and feel more wholesome. We hold the key to our own well-being. Please bring a yoga mat.

Yin Yoga

Instructor: Mary Lou MacGregor

Yin Yoga is a slower pace style of yoga that incorporates principles of traditional Chinese medicine with asanas or postures. Yin Yoga
consists of fewer poses which work the connective tissue of the body; the tendons, ligaments and fascia. These are areas of our bodies
we do not always consider but every healthy body needs the stretching until one reaches their place of resistance, holding still and
holding for time. This creates a strong mind in that we learn to be mindful of our movements and our thoughts. Working these parts of
our bodies assists individuals with arthritis, stiffness and assists with mobility issues. Yin Yoga is a practice that helps to control breath,
teaches a deeper breath which calms body and mind. Yin Yoga balances the Yoga Flow. Please bring a yoga mat.
