Join us for this unique and powerful musical experience which will combine a 75-minute Yin Yoga practice with the full and resonant sounds of LIVE cello music being played by our guest musician, Sam Shin.
The rich vibrational sounds of this extraordinary and complex instrument will provide the perfect ambiance for a deep and inward meditative journey, creating one fluid experience of weaving together conscious breathing, mindfulness, and stillness.
Brigid Murphy will be guiding this more passive Yin Yoga practice, which involves variations of seated and supine poses typically held for 3 to 5 minutes, targeting mostly the lower body - the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, and lower spine. Longer holds work to unwind and release the body’s deeper layers of fascia, an effective complement to a more dynamic Yang practice.
Sam Shin is a talented and dynamic local musician who is well-known for his unique improvisation-style of playing. This fluidity, combined with his deep knowledge of music theory, allows him to adapt and synchronize the bellowing notes that emanate from his cello with the energy in the room, culminating in a free-flowing and harmonious experience for all.
Sam offers his musical gift on a donation basis. Please consider offering him a “love” offering as an expression of gratitude and appreciation for his generosity and energy. This class is accessible and appropriate for both beginners and long-time practitioners. All are welcome! If you want to ensure your space in the room, sign up in advance. Regular class rates apply. Drop-in classes are $15.
