That’s where Yinnergy comes in. Developed by Chocolako, Yinnergy is a unique approach to Yin Yoga that combines the stillness of traditional postures with the tracking of inner energy and mindfulness. During a Yinnergy class, you will spend five – ten minutes in each posture to allow your body to fully surrender and release tension. This practice supports the generation of healthier cells and fresh vitality in your mind, body and spirit. Connect to your deeper self and tune into your inner wisdom to recharge and find balance amidst the stresses of modern life. Whether you are new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, Yinnergy is a practice that every person can benefit from. Chakra Innergy Yoga Healing Class Description: \u2028In this class, we will explore the ancient wisdom of yoga and its connection to the seven chakras (inner energy centers) within the body. Each chakra is associated with specific physical, emotional, and spiritual attributes, and by working with these centers, we will unlock a greater sense of balance, vitality, and peace. This gentle and compassionate approach to yoga honors the unique needs and experiences of each individual and supports the exploration of present moment awareness to integrate mind, body and spirit harmoniously. while easing in and out of mindful movement, you will focus on bringing awareness to seven chakras, starting with the root chakra at the base of the spine and working our way up to the crown chakra at the top of the head. By exploring each chakra attentively, you will cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world, as well as a greater sense of inner peace and harmony. Slow Flow Motion\u2028 Class Description:\u2028 This slow flow-based (vinyasa) styled class unites movement and form. Designed for new and experienced students alike, this class intends to build strength and flexibility, yet made accessible with a variety of options within poses. Expect to engage in dynamic movement with integrated breathwork. Chocolako’s Innergy style of yoga builds core power, stretches, strengthens and cleanses the body, and offers the opportunity for deep nourishment and release.\u00a0\u2028 First half of the class explores meditative movement through postures to help unravel stress and tension. Second half of class winds down with postures that facilitate rest and stillness. As with any class, students are encouraged to adapt the pace and postures to their own pursuit of vigor or gentleness.
