What is Slow Yoga?
This approach to movement uses ease, relaxation, and non-force to encourage the nervous system to slow down, release built-up muscular tension, and enable your body to move more freely and with less strain.
In this style of yoga practice you’ll start by bringing your structure to the floor and releasing tension and fatigue through therapeutic rocking, gliding, and sliding movements designed for fascial release.
The goal of each sequence is to bring awareness to your body, beginning at the surface and slowly, incrementally, returning your attention toward your own center.
Rooted in yoga, Zen Buddhism, and somatic education, this unique session integrates sensory awareness practices with finely articulated movements to unite breath and motion, promoting fascial release without strain
All exercises will be performed slowly, in isolation, and without force.
About Ryan
After dedicating most of my life to athletic training and competition, my body gradually began to struggle under the relentless strain, fatigue, and physical demands I had been placing on it. Since then I have discovered and developed a yoga practice that runs as a countercurrent to the pressures and models of fitness and exercise I was exposed to from a young age.
My yoga classes are slow, embodied, and focused on the inward, not outward expression of each posture. My goal is to help students cultivate presence through subtle movement and conscious breath, to calm and ease the body and help quiet the mind.
