Mother's Day
Yin Yoga
w/ Megan
Saturday, May 10, 2025
9:30am-11:00am
$28
Adults only
Join Megan Grandinetti for a special Mother's Day weekend Yin Yoga class, to take 90 minutes for yourself to slow down, rest in your body, and rest in yourself. All genders, all bodies welcome--come if you are a mother or if you have a mother you'd like to celebrate.
Yin Yoga is an amazing tool for slowing down the body. To feel the benefits of movement with less trying, less exertion. To feel our bones and connective tissue not just as the things that hold us together, but as the elements that keep our bodies stable and grounded. It brings suppleness & fluidity to the body by targeting the joints, fascia, and connective tissue to allow for deep release.
Yin asks us to move INward. Toward ourselves, toward a deeper knowing of our bodies, beyond a superficial understanding. We hold poses for longer periods (2-5 minutes), allowing time and gravity to do the work instead of trying to accomplish great feats with our muscles. We find our appropriate edge in the pose where our body can hold without much effort and with perhaps some discomfort but no sharp pain. And we find stillness in the body, and through stillness in the body, find the stillness that we naturally are.

Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic, breath-based practice of yoga. This Intro to Ashtanga class is designed for those brand new to yoga, new to Ashtanga yoga, or curious about our Mysore program at Sattva. We will start off with the basics, especially how to breathe as you move through your practice, and then we will work through the beginning portion of the Ashtanga practice. We practice Sun Salutations, and then move through the beginning portion of the Ashtanga practice that we call the "Fundamental" postures.
Ashtanga Yoga is a practice that is approachable and healing for all bodies, all levels, and all sizes. We will offer modifications for all postures so you can make the practice work specifically for you and your body. We will also help you understand what you might expect when you join our early morning "Mysore" classes.
