This is a free class as part of the Heart of Biddeford Spring into Wellness 2021 celebration week! This is a live, online via zoom.

Yin yoga works to strengthen, re-lengthen, & hydrate the connective tissues while settling the body into passive floor postures. Explore inner workings of mind & body through deep stillness as you hold each shape for longer times (can range from 2-5 minutes!)

This is a great class for beginner yogis and advanced yogis alike! Yin yoga, paired with meditation, helps increase awareness of our body, breath, and mind. This is practice compliments the more active, energetic practices and movement exercises you may participate in. It is also a great reset to balance out the high-energy day to day rush.

Grab some blankets, pillows, bolsters, blocks, straps, belts, whatever you think you need for some props and we will see you on the mat!

Note: Registration closes 60 minutes before class & zoom link will be e-mailed ~30 minutes prior to start of class

Our heated vinyasa classes link flowing moving with breath and both build strength and work to increase flexibility.

Class are heated to 90 degrees with increased humidity. You’ll experience a mindful, flowing, creatively-sequenced practice that encourages you to get out of your head, provides a challenge, and gets you sweating, moving, and deliciously ready for savasana (guided rest.)

Classes will be accessible and as always modifiable for all levels. If you have never practiced yoga before, we suggest checking out one of our foundations or non-heated classes first before jumping into the heat so you are familiar with the movements. Drink plenty of water before class and throughout practice, and let the teacher know that you are new.
