SELF-CARE SUNDAYS & OTHER SPECIAL EVENTS

 MyoYin Yoga is 90 minutes of deep passive stretching in yin yoga stillness combined with soothing self-myofascial massage with therapy balls ('myo' is from 'myofascia': myo = muscle, fascia = connective tissue), ending with a guided yoga nidra meditation during an extended savasana for deep rest.

This class can help you to:

• increase flexibility
• reduce muscle tension
• find freedom in your fascia
• soothe your nervous system
• work on your skill of meditative mindfulness
• feel overall more relaxed and at ease in both body and mind

Expect to learn techniques for self-myofascial release using Yoga Tune Up therapy balls both independent from and in combination with yin postures (poses held passively with little to no effort or movement for between 1-5 minutes each).   Options are always given for all bodies and abilities, and beginners are welcome. 

The room will be warm and dimly lit; dress for comfort.  You're welcome to bring your own therapy balls and yoga props, but some will also be available to borrow or purchase.

 The deeply rejuvenating and meditative practice of Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation of yogic 'sleep' (NSDR: non-sleep deep rest) that will quiet your mind and relax your body, right down to your innermost center. This practice does not include movement; you will lie down on the floor with support from blankets, bolsters, and whatever you need to feel cozy and comfortable while you follow with your awareness as you are led toward a place of profound relaxation and inner peace - you'll awake from this practice feeling fully refreshed and renewed. 

Expect to be guided verbally to set an intention (sankalpa) then led through a combination of progressive relaxation, breath awareness, body scan, and/or imaginative visualization journeys.  

No meditation experience is necessary!  Room will be warm and dimly lit; dress for comfort.

 A Self-Care Sunday Practice 
NO PRIOR YOGA EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.

Join Julie for a practice that infuses the mindful movement and breathing that you expect from a yoga class with the targeted musculoskeletal techniques that Physical Therapy has to offer.  This class is designed to address tightness in your hips and lower back, as well as weakness in your "core", that contribute to poor posture, lower back pain, and limited mobility.  

Teacher: Julie Pierce

Class format:  60 minute class; in-person at MYC 
Cost: $12 drop-in, or purchase a class pass for Julie's classes (8 classes for $80 or 12 classes for $100).   (Please note that this Self-Care Sunday special event does not qualify for a "first class free" class with Julie.)
