Jump start your Sunday and wake up your body with this invigorating, yet gentler Vinyasa Flow class. Each class includes warm up, pranayama, flowing asana series, meditation, and relaxation. This class is taught to all levels of strength and flexibility.
Yoga Lab is a class for all levels, beginners included! The first 60-minutes are all about finding structural alignment in yoga postures accompanied by time and pause for reflection. The forces of nature govern our bodies functions and well-being. There is an expanding force, a contracting force, a grounding and a rising force. We can look at each asana and see these forces working within our bodies. It’ is when we most efficiently harness the forces of nature inside of us that we can begin to move efficiently and sustainably through our lives! The final half hour will be a guided meditation inspired by the techniques of Yoga Nidra. A deep rest and reset.
The practice of gentle yoga is not only about feeling better; it is an invitation to feel more, to go where your body is tight and see where you can let go. Be inspired to practice at the level where you are comfortably challenged.
Focussing on movement and breath this class encourages students to develop strength, and stability, connecting body and mind. Suitable for all levels, including beginners.
Morgan’s intention is to guide students toward the center of their experience, which is an inherent state of calm found in the stillness of the mind. No previous yoga experience is required; all are considered equal.
Morgan's Vinyasa classes focus on nervous system regulation through a balance of movement and stillness. Her teaching style is influenced by the school under which she studies; Prana Vinyasa®, developed by Dance Anthropologist Shiva Rae, as well as her dedicated studentship to Yoga Nidra and Elemental Theory. Morgan’s classes take into consideration the current solar and lunar cycles and their influence on our collective embodiment.
