Mel instructs the following:
  • Gentle Yoga
  • This 75 minute class is available to everyone at any skill level. This is a great class for beginners and seasoned yogis looking for a quiet calm space to connect to their inner stillness. It is for people needing healing, restorative, relaxing, and supported poses. It's a change of pace for your mind and body as well as safe for prenatal mamas. In each class you always go at your own pace and listen to your body. Gentle yoga begins with a short meditation to help you engage in conscious breathing. A series of basic yoga postures will follow to warm and strengthen the body. Some classes will include restorative postures. These poses open and relax the muscles through passive stretching. They also facilitate deep relaxation of the mind. All classes will end with savasana, however some gentle classes will offer a longer supported savasana (15-20 minutes). Savasana is a key component of almost every yoga practice for relaxation and integration as it aids in the calming of the body, mind and nervous system.
