Flexy Flow Yoga
Flexy Flow is an ACTIVE yoga class that focuses on linking asanas (postures) together. It is a flowing sequence that links breath with movement while getting the heart rate up. It is great for building strength, increasing flexibility, improving cardiovascular health, and maintaining a lean, toned, healthy body.

Yin Yoga & SMR
This class is a combination of gentle yoga, deep stretches and SMR (Self-Myofascial Release) therapy; perfect for relaxation! You can expect to hold stretches for longer periods of time to allow for deep opening of connective tissues. Stretching coupled with SMR therapy will dramatically improve range of motion (flexibility) more than just stretching alone. SMR is great for relieving muscle pain, treating sciatica, plantar facetious, and this list goes on!
What is SMR?
Self-Myofascial Release (SMR) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on relieving muscle pain that affects the fascia (connective tissue that covers the muscles). It is a hands-on technique that works to relax, lengthen and realign your fascia, thus increasing your flexibility. The goal is to bring you pain relief and increase your range of motion using props such as lacrosse balls and small rollers
This is a very popular choice for BEGINNERS or to take after a faster-paced class. It is perfect before bedtime as it helps calm the nervous system, enabling your body to relax, release, & unwind.
All classes are finished with an essential oil infused warm compress (East St. Paul location.) Please BRING your own yoga mat + water.
