This spring, Elise and Matthew will share the Sunday 6:30pm time slot. Elise will teach the regular Sunday Slowdown class on April 6, April 13, and May 25 through June 22. Between April and May 18, Matthew will return for a special Restful Spring Renewal Series. (Please note that you’ll need to sign up separately for Matthew’s workshop series.) Sunday Slowdown will not be offered on the days when Matthew's series is in session.

Allow yourself to unwind, release tension, and rejuvenate both body and mind in this nurturing practice on Sunday evenings with Matthew. He will guide a serene, one-hour session of Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra — a perfect blend of gentle movements and deep relaxation. In this restful class, you'll experience the soothing stretches of Yin Yoga, targeting the connective tissues and fostering introspection. You will then transition into the tranquil practice of Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation practice, to reach profound levels of relaxation and inner peace.
