YIN/RESTORATIVE YOGA Both of these styles of Yoga are quiet, floor-based practices. Both provide deep benefits to your body and require a willing ness to pause and breathe - in stillness. Yin Yoga stimulates harder tissues in the body and can sometimes create strong sensations for you to navigate; Restorative Yoga is just deep ly relaxing. In this series, we will alternate between them: one week will be Yin, the next, Restorative - the best of both worlds. Prerequisite: at least one year of yoga experience. No class April 12.
