What is Suspension Yoga?
___
Suspension Yoga is an equipment based Yoga class incorporating
the earth, air, and space between.
This class highlights support throughout each asana, including inversions,
which allow for decompression of the spine. Inversions stimulate
the lymphatic system, and help move toxins out of the body. Suspension Yoga can be
strengthening, lengthening, and restorative.
This practice of Yoga is accessible to all
levels, and is encouraged to those with any previous injury, especially in relation to joint or muscle weakness, or pain.
The yoga swing supports the
weight of the body, allowing
less weight on any previous injury.
Beginner Suspension Yoga
___
Beginner suspension yoga is to get you more familiar with the equipment,
and how to play on it. In this class, we will ask questions, move slowly,
and gain comfort, and confidence on the yoga swing. We may move into inversions, but that is always optional.
Restorative Suspension Yoga
___
Restorative suspension yoga is slow, and steady. We will utilize the
yoga swing to assist in more passive asana, whether on the ground,
or in the air. In this class, we will hold asana for a longer period of time, settling into softness.

COMPLEMENTARY CLASSES
MOVE + MEDITATE
___
In this class, we’ll focus on breath and energy control (pranayama) while moving. As your awareness shifts inward, the natural rhythm of the heart and breath begins to slow. Through repetition, we bring our attention away from external distractions and toward a single internal focus. To support this process, we’ll introduce simple, dance-like movement paired with a slow, steady-paced song. This will help deepen the meditative experience. The result is a peaceful sense of unity—where movement and meditation become one.
Open to all bodies and all experience levels. No mat needed. Just bring water, wear comfortable clothes, and come as you are.
