Yin Meditation with

The practice of Yin Yoga is designed as a pathway into your connective tissue. Much of our life experiences - trauma, loss, heartbreak, etc. - are stored in our bodies - particularly in our connective tissue resulting in tightness, restriction, fascial buildup, etc. Yin is so powerful because it offers us the safe space, by holding supported postures close to the ground for an extended length of time to release physical limitation, and open the door to emotional freedom. Pre-register here using the Mind Body Scheduler.
Royal Meadery will be at the 4th Annual Drink Albany on October 5! Last year this event SOLD OUT, so make sure to get our tickets early - a limited amount of discounted Early Bird tickets will be available until tomorrow, 9/21/18.
