Yin Restorative Yoga

Yin Restorative Yoga is taught by Masako Miyakawa.

The calming, grounding, and quieting practice of YIN Yoga will open your hips, spine, and shoulder joints gently yet very deeply. Poses are held to affect the tight, contracting tissues of ligaments, tendons, and fascia. Since all the poses are done on the floor, often-neglected parts of our body are safely toned. This practice compliments more YANG activity such as vinyasa yoga, running, swimming and weight lifting. You will feel tightness melt away and your energy begin to flow. Each class ends with deep relaxation supported by props so that you restore your body’s natural ability to relax and rejuvenate.

Masako stumbled into a yoga class after having a particularly hard day in February, 2001. The rest, as they say, is history. She practices yoga not only for its physical, mental, and emotional benefits, but because it is just so much fun! Sharing what she has learned and experienced with her students has brought her joy and happiness beyond all measure. Originally from Japan and having gone to all-girls Buddhist school has prepared her to infuse Buddhist teachings with yogic philosophy, and weaving them into the class. She is known for her mindful, caring, kind, and light-hearted approach to yoga and to her students. Masako is a certified Integral Yoga and OM Yoga teacher, with additional training in: restorative, yin, pre-and-post natal, and chair yoga.
