Slow Yoga

Service Description

Slow Yoga is a nuanced, intentional and quiet practice that tunes you into the internal processes of movement, breath and the mind; it includes simple postures, breathing techniques, and invitation into a subtler knowing of yourself. Slow Yoga is not a slowed down vinyasa class or even gentle yoga. Slow Yoga is nervous system regulating, improves brain health (neuroplasticity), and deepens a sense of self-awareness (interoception). Good interoception correlates with increased vagal tone, presence, agency, greater resilience, and empathy. Slow Yoga increases physical strength, mobility, and helps you feel better in your body. Going slow allows time to bring awareness to both the biomechanics of how your body moves and the unique needs of your body; you will learn to support the structures that support you! No experience is necessary to practice Slow Yoga. Everyone is welcome. -Lisa McKenzie is a certified yoga therapist and an experienced yoga instructor.
