YOGA CLASSES

Slow yoga is a mindful, unhurried style of practice that moves through poses at a gentler pace than a typical yoga class. Rather than flowing quickly from one pose to the next, you'll spend more time settling into each position, focusing on alignment, breath, and how the pose feels in your body. It's yoga with space to actually experience what you're doing.

Absolutely. The slower pace gives newcomers more time to understand each pose, follow the instructor's cues, and find their footing without feeling overwhelmed. That said, slower doesn't always mean easier — holding poses for longer can be genuinely challenging, even for experienced practitioners.

Yes. Holding poses for longer periods builds muscular endurance and deepens flexibility over time. Many students are surprised by how much they feel the effects of a slow class — it may look gentle from the outside, but the sustained effort adds up.

Expect a calm, unhurried atmosphere with thoughtful instruction and plenty of time to settle into each pose. Classes often include breathing exercises, a brief meditation, or a longer final relaxation at the end. The overall tone is supportive and non-competitive — you're encouraged to work at your own pace throughout.

Breath is central to slow yoga. You will be guided to use the breath to ease into poses, release tension, and stay present. You'll likely leave with a greater awareness of how your breathing patterns affect both your body and your state of mind.

Comfortable, stretchy clothing and a water bottle are all you need. I provide mats and props, but you're welcome to bring your own. Wearing an extra layer or bringing a blanket can be nice, as the slower pace means you may feel cooler than in a more active class.

Not at all. there's no need to have any particular level of flexibility.
