About the Class:

Yin is a passive practice, with long-held postures that target the connective tissues: fascia, ligaments, joints and bones. Poses are typically held between 2-6 minutes with time for slow mindful transitions between; postures are done mostly seated or lying on the mat. In Yin the body is supported to allow the muscles to relax and gravity to do the work. Practice is comprised of finding your edge, becoming still, and holding for time. This is an introspective practice of mindful movement and breath. Class is designed around finding your place between effort and ease, moving with attention and intention, and listening to your body. You will work with pranayama, meditation, and yin asana.

DONATION TIME!

Roxie will be donating her hair to Wigs for Kids BC on March 25th and Across the Water will be donating 100% proceeds from Thursday night Yin Classes!!!

We are so THRILLED to be able to give in this way!! Roxie has been growing her hair for 5 YEARS to donate and is getting so excited to finally make the chop!

@hairbyhollyfischer will be lopping the locks and has some fun tricks up her sleeve for the hair that remains on Roxie’s head. We can’t wait to see what she has in store for us! Hair cut will be done at 12pm on March 25, 2022 at The Old Hat Hair Shoppe 595 Pandora Ave! Come peek in the window, cheer us on, and make a donation to Wigs for Kids BC! **EDIT: Hair cut time has changed from 12pm to 11am.

Wigs for Kids BC has such a wonderful start up story and they do such amazing work by offering FREE wigs to kids in need.
”Through the fundraising efforts of generous individuals Wigs for Kids is able to make a big impact on the lives of BC’s Kids and families. Each wig costs roughly $600 - $700 to make, which is 100% donation funded. Wigs For Kids also provides funding for medications and feeding supplies that are not covered by MSP. Recently Wigs For Kids has also begun supporting more initiatives to help the community, funding a volunteer driving program that drives oncology patients and their families to hospital appointments. This helps families who rely on public transit and taxis to get to and from appointments. Wigs For Kids also supports families with travel costs, whether is out of province travel for treatments or those that need to come from outside of the lower mainland for treatment.” - wigsforkidsbc.com

SWAG BAGS FOR KIDS!!

Lets be honest, who doesn’t love a good goodie-bag?
We wanted to do something extra special for Random Acts of Kindness Day so we have spent some time creating kid sized swag bags to go with every registration!

Every registration that happens in February 2022 will be gifted a SWAG BAG to get you started on your yoga journey!! Some things you may find in your swag bag are a yoga mat, water bottle, stickers, notepad and a few other treats!

Kids classes run on Thursdays and are ages 3-5, 6-9, and 10+

We so look forward to practicing and going on yoga adventures with you!
