Allow Dana Kaplan, E-RYT 500 to guide you through a deep, restorative yin yoga practice that will prepare you for a great night of rest! Yin yoga is a series of long-held floor poses in which we relax the muscles completely to allow the gentle stress of the pose to sink into the deep connective tissues (joints, ligaments, bones, cartilages, tendons & fascia). This gentle stressing of the connective tissues increases our range of motion. The focus is on the hips and lower back where we are abundant in these yin tissues. This practice is accessible to all levels of practice. Dana’s voice will guide and relax you. Richard’s heavenly music will help you to let go completely and go even deeper into bliss. The practice will end with a guided meditation and sound bath.

 

About our touring guest musician, Richard Brookens:

Following the energy of a Yoga class with live music, sometimes over original recorded tracks is a natural fit for a jazz musician who is also a Yoga teacher.  Richard’s Alto Flute, Bamboo flutes from India and China, Gongs, Crystal Chakra Bowls and Tibetan Singing Bowls, Chimes, and Ancient Sanskrit Mantra melodies create a tapestry of uplifting and peaceful vibes, opening the heart as the Asana opens the body.

 

Richard Brookens has been a professional musician for over 50 years and has taught Yoga and Meditation for the last 25 years. It was an organic process for him to combine his love of music and Yoga to play for Yoga classes over 20 years ago. He is currently on the faculty of Barry University in Miami, Florida and currently teaches 15 Yoga and Meditation classes a week.
