About This Class

This evening gentle yoga class is framed as a restorative antidote to the pace of modern life — an opportunity to balance activity with stillness and to nourish, rejuvenate, and recharge. The practice opens on the back with reclined hip circles and supine twists, then progresses through a seated sequence of neck rolls, side stretches, and easy seated twists. A standing section includes half sun salutations, wide-stance Downward Dog, runner's lunges, triangle, reverse triangle, eagle shoulder stretch, and a straddle forward fold. The floor-based closing sequence features Baddha Konasana, IT-band hip work, windshield-wiper knees, flowing and held bridge, thread-the-needle pigeon, wrap-leg spinal twists, and a long Savasana. Throughout, the instructor emphasizes softening the nervous system, non-forcing, diaphragmatic breath, and meditative awareness, blending yoga with Qigong and Tai Chi sensibilities. Props such as blocks, blankets, and bolsters are offered as options. The class is ideal for evenings, for those carrying stress or tension from sitting, and for anyone needing a mindful, slow-paced reset.
