FIRST TRACKS FLOW/FLOW YOGA: Flow Yoga with Rowie is a modern, fluid and dynamic practice, open to all levels. It is a physical and mindful the practice that will challenge, strengthen and lengthen your body, whilst calming your mind. Flow yoga is characterised by smooth transitions between asanas paired with active and mindful movement of the breath. Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for a long time, Rowie will adjust the practice and give options to suit everyone in the space. *First tracks Yoga begins at 6:30am and is the only classes at the Cafe space. All other classes are at Shizen View hotel space.
YIN BLISS: Yin Yoga is a passive, relaxing, deep stretch style of yoga. Entirely floor based, all poses are done lying down or seated. The practice asks students to relax, exerting minimal effort, instead holding the poses for longer periods of time (3-6 minutes) particularly targeting the hips, back and lower body to promote flexibility. Perfect for beginner and anyone wishing to develop and improve their flexibility.
YANG YIN YOGA: A class that slows you down and helps you move out stagnant energy and tension. We begin practice with a Slow Flow sequence and finish with slow stretch Yin Yoga postures/long passive holds.
YASAI YOGA: Beginners Yoga for the community. Slow, Simple Beginner 30 minute practice taking you through simple strecthes and slow movements. Pay for the class by donating vegetables farmed from your garden OR with a ¥500 coin donation.
