MOON • YIN

Soft Yin

A soft yin sequence, looking into the hips and gentle twists. If you've never practiced Yin before, this class will introduce you to the benefits of cultivating stillness and softness. Build the foundation of your Yin practice as you're guided through a relaxing sequence with ample instruction to draw awareness to safe stretching. While Yin classes often hold poses up to ten minutes, this introductory practice will ease you in with shorter holds.

MOON • VINYASA

45mins

Straight(ish)

An uncomplicated vinyasa, slow, considered with no chaturangas. The focus is moving with precision, as if floating the limbs through liquid honey. A great class to not only lengthen your hamstrings but to find extra support from the upper body - shoulders, arms and hands. If you don’t have 2 blocks at home - 2 thick books of a similar size will do, these will act as your arm extenders. This flow is great if your short of time but want to stretch your legs and strengthen your tummy muscles.
