'A yoga wheel is for absolutely everybody, from yoga pros to runners and crossfire athletes. That's because of its versatility and how it can aide us to stretch deeper and release tension in hard to access places. You can roll on it, lie on it, lay on it and breathe on it and it really helps to open your shoulders like no block can. Join me in one class, and have fun!
Yin and yang, male and female, strong and weak, rigid and tender, heaven and earth, light and darkness, thunder and lightning, cold and warmth, good and evil...the interplay of opposite principles constitutes the universe. (Confucio) In this practice we’ll seek for balance, strength and flexibility holding the poses more, and stimulating the rejuvenation of our connective tissues
The word hatha actually means willful or forceful – and refers to a set of postures that are designed to align the skin, the muscles, and the bones. They are designed to open the many channels of the body – specifically the spine (referring to the sushsumna nadi) so that energy can flow more freely through the body.While the practice of hatha yoga is slower paced, it is by no means a gentle practice. Compared to subtler practices that were in use at the time (which may have been as early as the 12th century), the physical practices of hatha must have seemed forceful and hence, maybe the name.

Outside of a few rise-and-shine types, most of us don't consider it our favorite part of the day--especially if you stayed up late the night before working, worrying, or wondering.

Learning to relax in a hectic climate is not easy and many of us forget the art of relaxation, living in a state of perennial mental tension. Stress and anxiety initially manifest on our body with muscle tension (especially shoulders, neck, abdomen and back). Often, we live so disconnected from our body that we are not even aware of having such muscle tension. By creating a comfortable position and slowing down a flow of thoughts, restorative yoga stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, i.e. the nervous system that determines the response to relaxation by slowing the beats, the breath, decreasing blood pressure and relaxing the muscles.
When the sun is setting, there is a magical feeling in the air, that of the light changing and another small cycle closing. For someone who is busy closing their own chapter (be it in work, love or something else), this is the perfect time to practice and remind yourself of the journey of letting go. From a practical perspective, temperatures also tend to be more consistent around sunset each day regardless of the time of year, offering you the perfect time to be out in nature, without worrying about summer heat or even the icy crisp of winter. Sunset Yoga has been a big part of our practice, and frankly, nothing beats a beach yoga class at this time.
