Yield to Yin- An Extended Yin Yoga workshop w/ Crista Ellis

This is not your average yin class. This is a potent practice where the challenge is cultivating strength and flexibility in relationship with your mind and body. Poses will be low to the floor, holding anywhere from 3-12 minutes. This extended yin yoga workshop will allow us the time to explore and understand our physical boundaries. We will have the space to safely approach edges and decipher where and when to challenge self-limiting boundaries.
