Relax and Recharge with Our Candlelight Yin and Nidra
Come and relax with candlelight while you recharge your mind and body with Yin yoga deep tissue stretches. Slow down and go deeper into the full body, opening up tight joints and increasing your mobility. Then move from deep stretching into a full mind and body Nidra resting meditation. Come out floating on air, rested and recharged.
Balance the Body with Yin Yoga
Do you have tight hips, wake up with a stiff back, or lower back pain? Are you actively exercising but find you struggle to deepen your skills and postures? You might find that your exercise is all Yang, or muscular based, and not enough Yin, which is deep tissue focused. You’re not alone. Most of us need to balance our Yang with more Yin.
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin yoga is the lesser known counterpart to an active Yang yoga practice. Yang yoga includes active yoga postures that are about engaging, strengthening, and compressing muscle tissues. Think Hot 26&2 or Vinyasa Flow. The focus is in creating balance and strength.
Yin yoga focuses on the other half of our tissues, the deeper connective tissues. Think white tissues like ligaments, tendons, fascia. These tissues should be hydrated and elastic for a healthy body. They should “slide and glide,” allowing us comfortable mobility. As we age, these are the tissues that become stiffer and decrease our mobility. Yin Yoga is about focusing on deep tissue stretching and compressing for healthy joints and mobility.
Both Yin and Yang yoga bring a sense of mindful focus and lead to relaxation. Both are powered collaboratively with our breath. However, Yin yoga guides us to stretch in passive postures, allowing softening, strengthening and hydration of the deep tissues.
The Yin and Yang practices work together in a necessary balance. If muscles are very strong, but connective tissues are stiff, this leads to tightness and injuries at a deep tissue level. If deep tissues are open and loose but muscles are weak, this can lead to over stretching of muscles and, again, injuries can occur.
Solution? Create your Yin-Yang beautiful body balance. Keep your body working in harmony by bringing the elements that you need.
SOUND HEALING APRIL 28 at 7:00
We are delighted to announce that Austin Shook, of Alignment Sound Energy,
will be coming to 360 Yoga to give us another amazing Sound Healing!
April 28th at 7:00 pm
Sound is vibration that touches every part of our physical being. Sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. Come let the unique tones of this sound bath initiate healing processes and create the perfect state for deep meditation, creative thinking and intuition.
Wake up your ability to hear and feel as you bathe in the sounds of singing bowls, the Handpan, flutes, gongs, and many other unique instruments. Let go and simply receive the harmonies and vibrations washing over you.
Austin will play an array of instruments to aid you in achieving deep relaxation as you naturally slip into the parasympathetic state of your nervous system. With the aid of these instruments, space will be held for you to connect with the deeper aspects of yourself. This experience is an invitation to enter into your own essence, deeply connect with your body through ethereal sound vibration; to release, soften, unwind, envision and meditate.

Esak is a world class practitioner, competitor and teacher. He is the most well known and well respected teacher in the Bikram community, period. The Bikram postures are the basis of every workshop and class he teaches. He is in demand all over the globe and we are tremendously happy to have Esak lead these events at Bikram Yoga Charleston.
Posture Clinic: In this class Esak covers the common basis of all hatha yoga postures in our Bikram practice. Additionally he answers your questions about specific posture technique, and breaks them down into their crucial elements. Esak will also be providing extra instruction for back bending.
Intermediate (“e84”) Class: This class is open to anyone with a basic foundation in the Bikram postures — that means you! It’s not an advanced class. Rather, it goes just beyond the Bikram 26, allowing us to try something new! This is a 90 minute hot class that is safe and fun!
