Slow Flow is a slower moving, nurturing, vinyasa-based practice. Expect to move mindfully through a gentle standing sequence with plenty of time to focus on breath and alignment, and a long grounding cool down. A great way to unwind from the day while still getting a well-rounded practice.

This class is designed to help you let go of stress and worry as it calms your nervous system, bringing you into a state of deep peace and tranquility. Class will begin with a gentle feel-good movement series designed to stretch out all the parts of the body to get it feeling loose and open before lying down. Then, once you are still, you will be guided through a short meditation to help relax your body and quiet your mind. You will then simply rest and be immersed in the soothing, mystical sounds of crystal singing bowls, a gong, chimes, and a rainstick. Participants have described this experience as feeling like a deep sigh of relief, as the sounds seem to speak to your soul, conveying the message that everything is ok.

Research into touch links it to our happiness, our mental and physical health, our feelings of love and being loved, and even our alertness and ability to do math. In this class we will explore movement and touch as building blocks for community and respectful communication with each other. Come prepared to move your body with music, share kind therapeutic touch and have plenty of fun! Everyone is welcome!
