No experience needed. All bodies and ages welcome.

Join us for a radically different kind of self-care

Yin Yoga isn’t about sweating or pushing:it’s about softening.

In this floor-based practice, postures are supported with props and held for several minutes. Not with effort or strain, but with ease and stillness. The goal isn’t to stretch as far as you can, but to gently invite release physically, emotionally, and energetically. Brave Rest offers you space to slow down, breathe deeper, and listen inward.

This is self-care for the part of you that’s been running on empty.

No flexibility or yoga experience needed. This class is accessible for all bodies and ages.

Bonus: Held in the Light System

Class is held in a space designed to support the body’s natural intelligence, powered by The Light System. It uses dynamic bio-fields to help recharge the body at the cellular level.

Together, Yin Yoga and The Light System create a layered experience of rest: gentle on the outside, powerful on the inside.

"Each Yin pose is an opportunity to crawl into ourselves and stay awhile."

What You'll Experience

A Profound Combination

Yin invites you to slow down in a world that constantly asks you to speed up.

In this practice, supported poses are held for several quiet minutes. Not to stretch or force anything, but to soften, to listen, and to allow space. As your connective tissues gently respond, long-held tension starts to unwind: physically, mentally, and energetically.

Yin creates the conditions for more than just physical stillness: it invites emotional and energetic stillness, too.

As you rest in each pose, the body begins to let go, the nervous system shifts into a state of deep repair, and the layers of mental noise start to soften. You're tuning into your own inner rhythm, the part of you that knows how to heal, balance, and come back to center.

In Yin Yoga, each posture targets specific energetic pathways known as meridians, which are used in traditional Chinese medicine to support organ health, emotional well-being, and overall vitality.

As you rest into each shape, you’re not just releasing tension. You’re encouraging energy, or qi, to move more freely through the body. Bobbi may also offer gentle, intuitive energy work throughout class to deepen this effect, supporting balance on both the physical and subtle levels.

No experience needed. All bodies and ages welcome.

“Yin Yoga teaches us to bring balance to our lives and patience to our minds.”

Common questions

You’re Not the Only One Wondering…

What is Yin yoga?

Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative practice where poses are held for several minutes to gently target the deeper layers of the body—like fascia, joints, and connective tissue. With the support of props and stillness, it invites the nervous system to settle, the breath to deepen, and the mind to soften. It’s a deeply restorative experience that helps improve flexibility, increase energetic flow, and bring you back to balance. Gentle and adaptable, Yin is accessible for all bodies—no experience or flexibility required.

Who is Yin yoga for?

Yin Yoga is for anyone who feels tired, tense, or stretched too thin. It’s especially supportive for people who spend a lot of time on the go, hold stress in their body, or struggle to slow down—even when they know they need rest. Whether you're brand new to yoga or have years of experience, this practice meets you exactly where you are.

Every pose is fully supported and adaptable, making it a safe and nourishing space for all ages, body types, and mobility levels.

What do I need to bring to class?

We utilize a yoga mat, two yoga blocks, and a yoga bolster during class. Bringing your own is encouraged, but we do have extras available on a first-come, first-served basis. Comfortable, loose clothing is best—think layers you can truly relax in. You're also welcome to bring a water bottle and fill up on our Scalar-Charged water during class. Some students enjoy bringing an eye pillow for an added layer of calm and comfort during the longer holds.

Do I need to come every week?

You don’t have to come every week, but your body will thank you if you do. Yin works cumulatively. With each session, your system learns to unwind a little more deeply. That said, it’s okay to come when you can. Every class meets you where you are, and your body will respond either way.

Do I need to be flexible to do Yin Yoga?

Not at all. Yin Yoga isn’t about how far you can stretch. It’s about how deeply you can soften. Every pose is supported with props and can be adapted to meet your body exactly as it is. Whether you consider yourself flexible or not, this practice is here to help you release tension, not create it.

You don’t need to be bendy. You just need to be willing to slow down.

Is this class suitable for beginners?

Yes. This class is designed to be accessible for everyone, including complete beginners. You don’t need any yoga experience to benefit from this practice. Each pose is guided, supported with props, and fully adaptable to your body. Whether it’s your first time on a mat or your hundredth, you’ll be met with a calm, welcoming space where there’s nothing to prove, just an opportunity to unwind and reconnect.

How long is the class, and when should I arrive?

Class lasts 90 minutes. We recommend arriving about 10 minutes early to settle in, gather your props, and create a comfortable space before we begin. We start promptly at 6:30p to honor everyone's time.

Can I attend if I have an injury or limitation?

You're absolutely welcome in class. Yin Yoga is a gentle, adaptable practice, and most poses can be modified to meet your needs. If you’re working with an injury, recovering from something, or have a specific concern, please let Bobbi know before class begins so she can support you appropriately.

As with any movement practice, it’s important to get clearance from your treating physician before attending if you have a medical condition or are healing from an injury. Your safety and comfort are always the priority.

Will there be hands-on adjustments or energy work?

This class is designed to be a deeply personal and inward experience. Bobbi may occasionally offer gentle, optional energy support, such as light touch or energetic clearing, to help enhance relaxation and alignment. That said, all hands-on interaction is fully optional and always done with care and consent. If you prefer not to receive touch or energy work during class, just let Bobbi know before class. Your boundaries will be fully respected.

Is Yin Yoga a religious practice / will it conflict with my beliefs?

Yin Yoga itself isn't tied to a specific religion. It’s a quiet, supportive practice that helps you slow down and reconnect with your body. There’s no chanting, doctrine, or spiritual requirement. Many students find it complements their personal beliefs or faith traditions, while others simply enjoy it as a form of deep rest.

You’re always welcome to come as you are, bring your own values with you, and take from the practice what feels supportive.

Note: We intentionally do not use the word “Namaste” in class out of respect for its cultural and spiritual roots. This is part of our effort to honor the tradition of yoga without contributing to cultural appropriation.

No experience needed. All bodies and ages welcome.
