Join us for this special Yin Yoga demo session! This is a 1-day session to try out the practice and see if the class is a right fit for you. Yin yoga is a style of yoga where passive yoga posture(poses) are held for extended periods of time. Typically 3-5 min., sometimes longer. In these passive postures, muscle activity is minimized, with a focus on stretching connective tissues, such as fascia, ligaments and tendons. We will gently settle into postures, supported by yoga props, while deeply connecting to breath. These longer holds allow the muscles to lengthen passively and for physical releases under the skin to occur. This practice supports overall flexibility, circulation, and range of motion in the joints and ligaments. It also is a practice in mindfulness, as conscious breathing occurs, quieting the mind and supporting nervous system health. This class is for those new to yoga, as well as seasoned yogis looking for a deep stretch. Yoga blocks/bolster are encouraged if you have them, otherwise the teacher has props to use during class.

Join Tony for this special one-night cooking workshop! Ropa vieja is a classic Caribbean dish of shredded beef stewed in a flavorful tomato-based sauce with peppers, onions, and spices, traditionally made with flank steak or chuck roast that is slow-cooked until tender.

Special Note: The instructor will provide the shredded beef already cooked, while students will prepare the side dishes together in class. The instructor will go over how students can make the shredded beef at home. Please bring containers to take food home with you! *There is a $25 ingredients fee, payable to the instructor at class.
