monthly yin yoga class to start July 18

Starting in July, a monthly Yin Yoga class will be added to the Five Forks schedule. The first class is from 6:30-7:30 p.m., July 18, in the mind/body studio.

The class will be a mostly seated yin flow, with slow movements, deep stretches, long holds and guided breathwork. If you're used to flow yoga, this will be a new experience.

Yin works to stretch the connective tissue and awaken the energy flow that runs through it, while strengthening (and re-lubricating) our joints. Yin also calms the mind and takes you deep inside yourself.

For more information, see the "anyone (y)in-terested" blog in the June archives section.

About Me

I owe my passion for yoga and its transformative nature to my teachers, namely Max Strom. I have been teaching since December, 2006. I teach an all-levels vinyasa flow class, which focuses on the breath as the key to change and healing. As my teacher, Max, says, we just add the poses to the breath. I have completed a 30-hour teacher training with Max in Kansas City and another 54-hour training with him in Greenville; a 230-hour, 9-month intensive with Max's students and owners of North Main Yoga studio, Brian and Liz Delaney; and a Yin Yoga teacher training with Shala Worsley from the Asheville Yoga Center. Most recently, I have begun studying Thai Yoga Massage privately with Asheville therapist Lia Pardy. In April, I will enroll in the Asheville School of Massage & Yoga to pursue my massage therapist license.
