Un-Heated Yoga Classes
VinYin Yoga®
Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures – or asanas – that are held for longer periods of time (5 minutes). Yin yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body — the tendons, fascia, and ligaments — with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. A more meditative approach to yoga, yin aims at cultivating awareness of inner silence, and bringing to light a universal, interconnecting quality.
VinYin Yoga® begins with an all levels moving fluid asana practice (Vinyasa) to increase flexibility, warm and strengthen the muscles and bring presence to the mat. Once achieved the class moves into a balanced experience of supported stretching (Yin) that will lengthen the muscles to support release of toxins and stress. This practice is a beautiful balance supporting the countless benefits of a healing yoga practice.

VinVersion Yoga®
Un-Heated VinVersion Yoga® is derived from Hatha Yoga which encompasses all types of yoga. “Hatha” is Sanskrit for “forceful”, the ancient Indian language, where most yoga terminology comes from.
Modern Hatha yoga classes are slower paced with less flow between poses. This allows for time to focus on relaxation and the Pranayama breathing techniques taught during these classes. Our un-heated classes will introduce optional inversions when appropriate and will prepare you for our advanced VinVersion Yoga® in the hot room.

Gentle Yoga
Our gentle yoga classes begin lying down on your backs, focusing on proper breathing and physical and mental relaxation. Followed by a gentle warm up that prepares the hips, lower back, shoulders and neck for a safe practice! We move from pose to pose with conscious breathing and we challenge the practitioner into safe asanas (poses) gradually developing a sense of presence and empowerment.
hOMe School Restorative & Yin
Restorative yoga is a form of yoga that seeks to achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation with the aid of props. The use of props makes it easier for you to maintain balance while you are stimulating and relaxing your body. Bolsters, blankets, blocks and straps are always provided in our hOMe School Restorative yoga classes. Both Yin and Restorative forms of yoga asana are slow-paced. They enable you to move slowly and focus on maybe 10 different poses for the entire class. Both forms of practice calm the mind and nervous system, enable you to turn inward, and focus on the breath.
