Weekly Offerings
MINDFUL MONDAY
Mondays, 6:00pm – 7:15pm
Hosted by Providence Power Yoga
This class blends the low to the earth postures of yin yoga, pranayama, and meditation. Students are encouraged to relax their muscles, bask in stillness, and play their edge while holding postures for several minutes. This slow and mindful practice encourages students to deeply connect with the present moment; allowing everything else to fade into the background.
YIN YOGA
Thursdays, 6:00 – 7:15pm
Hosted by Providence Power Yoga
Yin Yoga utilizes passive stretching to apply moderate stress to the body’s connective tissues : the tendons, ligaments, and fascia. This low-to-the-earth style of yoga incorporates principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Elements Theory. Students are encouraged to relax their muscles, bask in stillness, and play their edge while holding postures for several minutes. Benefits of this practice include increased joint mobility, rehydration of the connective tissues, and restoring Qi flow throughout the body. The option to receive hand-on-assists is offered during this class.
