In a society that favors constant motion and ties our worth to our productivity, it can feel uncomfortable or even impossible to slow down and find ease in stillness.
And so we invite you to escape the grind and do just that.
Join us on the gallery floor for an hour of lying down and making strange shapes with our bodies, just for fun!
This slow paced, beginner-friendly class centers mindful movement that reduces muscular effort and invites the body to relax into each posture.
Students will be encouraged to explore passive poses with longer holds to facilitate stillness of body and mind, release physical tension, increase flexibility, and promote deep nervous system relaxation.
​Supply/Proper Attire: ​
Please wear comfortable clothes you can move around in, and bring a water bottle, yoga mat, and any props that you like to use (blanket, blocks, bolster).
We will have a few extra yoga mats available to borrow.
