Clarity & Connection with Nicole Morin

pya_nicole

Thursdays, February 23 – March 16, 6:30-7:45PM
$15 Single / $40 Series
@Side Space

Awaken more clarity and connection with yourself through Yin yoga. This restorative practice accesses deeper tissues in the body to release physical and emotional tension and offers a reset for the nervous system.

4-week series exploring Yin yoga postures, Chinese meridian theory, breath awareness and meditation techniques.

Each week will be thoughtfully focused and sequenced to support a different meridian pairing.

  • Week 1: Liver & Gall Bladder
  • Week 2: Kidney & Bladder
  • Week 3: Spleen & Stomach
  • Week 4: Heart, Lung & Intestines

Students will learn a basic understanding of yin yoga, the meridian lines of the body and their physical/emotional ties, prop-based asana instruction, and given time for quiet contemplation and stillness throughout. The classes are inspired by Sarah Powers’ ‘Insight Yoga’, Yoga of the Subtle Body by Tias Little, and many of Pema Chodron’s books.

The series is designed so that each can stand alone, but the offering is more powerful bundled as a 4-class series as the knowledge will build each time.
