Yin + Aroma Yoga with Cat
Mondays from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM.
Experience a blissful fusion of Yin Yoga with essential oils to bring you into greater connection with your body and mind. Cat Doyle incorporates quality essential oils into the class, while expertly guiding you through an all-levels Yin practice.
Yin yoga is practiced passively with longer held poses (2-6 minutes) mainly focused on the lower body. In the body, yin is represented by the stiffer connective tissues (ligaments, tendons and fascia) and joints. Energetically, yin is stable, solid and balancing.
Essential oils work on many levels to shift your mood, physiological processes and your health. Therapeutic grade oils are used aromatically and topically to support your physical and mental health. Each week will consist of two different oils to give variety, expand your knowledge of essential oils, and have effects on your mind and body.
Expect to leave feeling more relaxed, less stressed and smelling lovely!
