Class Descriptions
Yin Yoga / Deep Stretch
Classes:
Zoom Sundays
5pm – 6pm
Limber Studio, Falmouth
Mondays: noon – 1pm
Fridays: noon – 1pm
Yin Yoga is also called Deep Stretch yoga. It’s is a challenging, sweet practice that leaves you feeling alive and calm. Most poses are seated or reclining and are held for a few minutes to create stress on the connective tissue system.This stress makes the connective tissues stronger and more flexible and can encourage an increase in bone density, which in turn reduces the likelihood of bone fractures.
Class includes breath work and meditation tips to keep you comfortable in the long pose holds. Yin attracts athletes pursuing increased flexibility for their primary sport, desk workers and drivers looking to release chronic tension, and those who just want to feel comfortable and joyful and sleep well.
Gentle Yoga Classes
Videos and Studio Classes
Gentle Yoga is great for all experience levels, including none at all. The poses build strength and flexibility while the breath work balances the nervous system and clears the head. Poses are described clearly and deep stretches lead to a gentle flow of poses, including balancing and simple twists. As an experienced instructor I help you safely into modify poses to accommodate limitation or injuries.
Yoga Nidra
Videos & Special Classes: Class info here: Special Classes: Oct 6, Nov 3, Dec 1, 2023
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation that allows you access to the part of your brain you access through REM sleep. It’s known as the yoga of sleep and is practiced lying down in complete stillness. The practice is at least deeply relaxing and at best completely transformational. An hour of yoga nidra can be a restful as 3 hours of sleep. Give it a try.

Yin Yoga - Sunday evening Zoom
Yin yoga is a challenging, sweet practice that leaves you feeling alive and calm. Most poses are seated and are held for several minutes to create stress on the connective tissue system: the fascia, ligaments and tendons. This stress builds the connective tissue stronger and more flexible and can encourage an increase in bone mass which in turn helps reduce the likelihood of fractures.
Bonus* it releases deep held tension and bolsters the immune system. Yup, really. (Amazing practice)! Yin is appropriate for students of all levels. I am able to modify poses to accommodate injuries or limitations.
Class includes breath work and meditation tips to keep you comfortable in the long pose holds. Yin attracts athletes pursuing increased flexibility for their primary sport, desk workers and drivers looking to release chronic tension, and those who just want to feel comfortable and joyful and sleep well.
