What the class is like
Yin & Restore is the opposite of a workout, and that is exactly the point. We settle into a small number of floor-based shapes and hold each one for two to five minutes, fully supported by bolsters and blankets, so the body can finally let go rather than work.
Those long, passive holds reach the deep connective tissue around the hips and spine that faster practice rarely touches, and the stillness gives the nervous system a chance to drop out of fight-or-flight. It is profoundly calming — many members tell us it is the best sleep they get all week.
No flexibility or experience is needed; the props do the work and you simply rest into them. It pairs perfectly with a busy life or a hard training week, and it is the class we point people to when stress, stiffness or poor sleep is the thing they most want to fix.
