Sunset Slowdown with Carly & Tobias

Release your day in a slow kind of way with Sunset Slowdown. This yang to yin style offering invites you to first dynamically engage your body to relieve tension built up through the day, then surrender into longer holds that promote the peace and relaxation your body-mind craves.

Everyone is Welcome Here

All bodies, backgrounds, and experience levels are welcome. No prior experience is necessary. There is never a cost. 

What to Bring

Because muscles are relaxed in yin yoga, it’s important to use supports like blocks, bolsters, blankets, and straps to protect joints, ligaments, and tendons from overstretching. The supports allow the body to surrender to gravity without causing any injury or pain. Please consider bringing any practice supports you enjoy - mat, blocks, straps, bolsters, or blankets. Community practice supports are available, and you’re encouraged to use them freely. Bringing water to hydrate after practice is also a good idea. We practice indoors, in a large room. We recommend wearing comfortable layered clothing to help regulate preferred body temperature.

This Practice is Not Sold

This practice is not sold. It’s shared. Our offerings exist through voluntary giving - as a living expression of the community we are. What we receive is made possible by the many who have given before us, and what we offer allows the practice to remain unowned and open.

Giving is part of yoga practice - not as a duty, but as a remembering. When we give, the grip of “me and mine” loosens. The patterns of separation and self-importance are disrupted. We step out of self-absorption - the root of suffering - and feel into the truth of interconnectedness. Every act of giving dissolves a boundary. The giver and the receiver are not two. This is how the practice continues - through open hands and open hearts.
