Slow Down, Stretch Deep, Sleep Better

Join us for Yin Yoga tonight at 7:15 PM for the perfect midweek reset. This calming, floor-based practice is designed to release tension from deep in your muscles and fascia, gently improving mobility while calming your mind.

Yin is a beautiful way to unwind in the evening. Long, supported holds activate the parasympathetic nervous system (your "rest and digest" mode), helping to reduce stress, support your joints, and prepare your body for a more restful night of sleep.

Whether you’re balancing a busy work schedule, training hard, or simply need space to breathe and reconnect, this practice is for you.

Did you know your gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in your body? It's main job is hip extension and is active in each and every step we take, however, many of us don't utilize this muscle optimally. This can potentially lead to low back pain, si joint pain and more.

This is where yoga can help! Not only can a mindful practice enhance our body awareness, but many yoga poses (ie: Bridge, Chair etc), can help to strengthen and tone your glutes!

Let's breakdown Bridge Pose.

When the glute max is strong and properly engaged in Bridge:
✔️ You lift from the hips, not the spine strengthening the glutes and keeping the low back supported.
✔️ Your knees track safely over your ankles and you avoid extra wear and tear on the outer knees
✔️ You build strength where it matters: your posterior chain

This isn’t just about looking good, it’s about moving better, feeling stronger, and protecting your body from compensation patterns that lead to pain.

🔥 Want to learn how to truly fire up your glutes in Bridge?
