Slow Flow

A gentle, meditative class that links breath with movement at a relaxed pace. Each sequence is intentionally slowed to allow deeper awareness of alignment, breath, and muscle engagement. Expect deliberate transitions, longer holds, and mindful exploration of each posture to build strength, stability, and flexibility without strain.

Class structure

  • Opening: Settling breath, short centering meditation, gentle joint mobilizations.

  • Warm-up: Slow cat–cow, pelvic tilts, low lunge variations and shoulder mobility to prepare the spine and hips.

  • Standing flow: Grounded movement with mindful intention—warrior variations, balancing postures held for several breaths.

  • Mid-sequence: Longer-held standing or kneeling postures to cultivate endurance and proprioception; slow transition to floor.

  • Floor work: Targeted hip openers, twists, and gentle backbends with generous time in each pose for release.

  • Cool down: Supported forward folds, restorative poses, and guided relaxation to integrate the practice.

Key Benefits

  • Improves body awareness and alignment

  • Builds sustainable strength and joint stability

  • Enhances flexibility through slow, sustained stretching

  • Reduces stress by encouraging a steady, calming breath

  • Suitable for beginners, those returning from injury, or anyone seeking a mindful, low-impact practice

What to bring

  • Yoga mat

  • Optional props: block(s), strap, blanket

  • Comfortable, breathable clothing

  • Water

Restorative

An overview of restorative yoga

Restorative yoga is a gentle, supportive practice that uses props and extended holds to promote deep relaxation, release chronic tension, and restore the nervous system. Poses are typically passive and fully supported—blankets, bolsters, blocks, and straps create stable alignment so the body can surrender without effort. Sessions emphasize slow, deliberate breathing, mindful awareness, and long holds (often 5–20 minutes per pose) to encourage parasympathetic activation and restorative physiological responses.

Class Structure

  • Intention and breath: classes begin with a short centering, setting an intention and connecting to the breath.

  • Gentle transitions: a few simple movements or seated stretches prepare the body to settle.

  • Supported poses: 4–6 fully supported poses are held for long durations with guidance on breath and subtle adjustments.

  • Guided relaxation: sessions often conclude with extended Savasana or a guided meditation to integrate the practice.

  • Closing: brief reconnection, gentle movement, and an opportunity to reflect on the experience.

Key benefits

  • Nervous system regulation: prolonged stillness and slow breath shift the body from sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) mode.

  • Stress reduction: lowered cortisol and a deep sense of calm help reduce anxiety, improve mood, and enhance sleep quality.

  • Improved recovery: supportive poses relieve muscular tension and promote tissue repair—useful after illness, injury, or intense physical training.

  • Enhanced body awareness: mindful attention to sensations fosters greater interoception and self-regulation.

  • Accessibility: the slow pace and heavy use of props make restorative yoga suitable for all fitness levels and bodies.
