Yin Yang Flow
with Ruby Koa

September 18 (Wednesday)
at 5:30 pm

Class length
60 minutes

Go with the flow and give yourself a midweek reset in this all levels class. Options are given to practice the poses in a gentler or more advanced way, encouraging students to listen to their bodies. The first part of class will usually be more yang and the second part will be more yin.

Yin Yang Yoga blends two styles of yoga into one practice – bringing together the benefits of passively holding yoga poses with more dynamic sequences and standing postures.
Yin and Yang are the Taoist concepts which describe the two relative qualities present in everything. Yin is more internal, passive, cooling and downward. Yang is more external, dynamic, warming and upward.

When these terms are applied in yoga, Yin Yoga is a slower practice where poses are passively held for longer. It works on the deep, dense (Yin) connective tissues and joints in the body. Yang Yoga, in contrast, refers to a more active practice. This works on the (Yang) muscles and blood flow, building strength, stamina and flexibility. Yang styles of yoga are those with rhythm and repetition like Vinyasa Flow.

Ruby loves teaching this class from her intuition and tries her best to mold the sequence to suit the needs of the students present that night. This means that sometimes the class may flow in a slightly different format than described here.
