Sink into stillness and surrender in this deeply restorative class that blends the grounding practice of Yin Yoga with the profound relaxation of Yoga Nidra.
The first portion (~45 mins) of class focuses on Yin Yoga — slow, floor-based postures held for several minutes to gently stretch the body’s connective tissues, release tension, and quiet the mind. Supported by props and mindful breath, this meditative practice invites you to soften, slow down, and create space within.
The practice then transitions into Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation often described as “yogic sleep.” As you rest comfortably in savasana, you’ll be led through a journey of body awareness and visualization designed to promote deep healing, stress relief, and inner calm.
This class is suitable for all levels and is especially nourishing for those seeking balance, recovery, or a moment of stillness amid a busy life.

Preparing for class:
*Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for parking, checking in, and setting up your mat. Classes take place in the Alma room located in the front courtyard of Casa de Luz.
*While we do have a limited number of mats available, we may not have enough for every student in larger classes. To ensure everyone is covered, we kindly ask that you bring your own mat if you have one. This way, those who truly need to borrow one can do so. With your help, we can continue to support one another and make our shared space comfortable and accessible for all.
We also invite you to bring any personal items (blanket, eye mask, pillow, etc.) that will help you to feel extra comfortable during class.
*Some of our classes may include optional physical touch, such as gentle adjustments or supportive contact, to help guide you in your practice. Your instructor will always announce this at the beginning of class.
If you prefer not to receive any physical touch, please feel free to let the instructor know before class begins. We fully support your choice and want to ensure that you feel safe, respected, and comfortable at all times.
To prepare for a yoga class, channel your inner yogi by wearing comfortable, stretchy clothes, bringing a yoga mat, and leaving your ego at the door. Remember to hydrate before and after class, and don't forget to silence your phone – nobody wants to hear your ringtone during Savasana.
Breathwork in yoga is like the secret sauce - it takes your practice to the next level. It helps you stay present, calm, and focused, and can even enhance the physical benefits of the poses.
Yoga can help with fatigue like a shot of energy for your body. It can help improve blood flow, increase energy levels, and reduce stress. Plus, it's a lot more fun than drinking a cup of coffee every day.
The breath is like the DJ of your yoga practice - it sets the rhythm and keeps everything flowing smoothly. It helps you stay focused, calm, and connected to your body as you move through the poses.
Choosing the right yoga class is like picking a movie to watch – you want to find one that matches your mood and interests. Check out different studios, read class descriptions, and don't be afraid to ask questions. And remember, if you end up in a class that's not quite your cup of tea, there's always the next one.
