MyoYin Yoga & Yoga Nidra are a match made in yoga heaven! These Self-Care Sunday offerings are held at Midland Yoga Collective on the first Sunday of each month (plus occasional bonus classes on other Sundays). Whether you take one or both classes, you're sure to leave feeling super relaxed!

~~~

MyoYin Yoga is 75 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), all ending with a relaxing sound bath savasana.
This class can help you to:
- increase flexibility
- reduce muscle tension
- find freedom in your fascia
- soothe your nervous system
- 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).

~~~

Yoga Nidra is a 45 minute fully-guided meditation experience that will quiet your mind and relax your body, right down to your innermost center. This practice (often referred to as "yoga naptime") requires no movement or experience. Expect to be guided verbally through layers of inner awareness toward profound relaxation - you'll awake from this practice feeling fully refreshed and renewed.
