THE EVOLUTION OF ASHTANGA

Monday · Friday · Sunday I 8:00 AM - 9:20 AM

Facilitator: Kristin Varner

Primary series ashtanga vinyasa poses, sequencing, and breathing with emphasis on the joy, creativity, and love that’s cultivated in an atmosphere of infinite possibilities.

The Evolution of Ashtanga honors the genius of primary series ashtanga vinyasa yoga - its intelligent sequencing, rhythmic vinyasa, and breath-centered movement - without outdated rigidity, hierarchy, and performance-based expectations. Ujjayi breath anchors movement, and mindful postural adaptions are encouraged to support energetic awareness, balance, and integration. 

Poses are not earned. Bodies are not corrected into ideals. Perfectionism is recognized as a killer of creativity and love. The practice is approached as an evolving experience - one that emphasizes curiosity and self-inquiry over striving and comparison.

YIN YOGA

Saturday | 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM  &  Wednesday | 6:15 PM - 7:15 PM

Facilitators: Kristin Varner, Daphne Rivera & Community Yogis

A gentle, slow-paced postural yoga practice designed to invite deep relaxation, release, and mindful awareness.

In this offering, poses are held for longer periods of time - often around three minutes - allowing the body to soften gradually and the nervous system to settle. Most yin yoga postures are practiced seated or lying down, with a primary focus on the lower half of the body - areas that commonly hold tension, including the lumbar spine, pelvis, hips, hamstrings, and thighs. Occasional upper-body postures - such as adapted shoulder openers - may be included to support balance and ease throughout the whole somatic system.

The sustained, passive nature of yin yoga allows gentle traction to reach deep layers of connective tissue, including fascia, tendons, and ligaments. By relaxing the muscles, we create space to access the tissues surrounding the joints without strain. This practice offers an opportunity to slow down, listen inward, and experience renewal from the inside out - leaving you feeling spacious, grounded, and deeply supported.

Please note that the location of the Yin Yoga offering on Wednesday evenings is in Smith Hall at All Saints Episcopal Church.
