Recharging Flow
Melanie Schwank
Looking to totally and completely de-stress? Want to relax the nervous system and calm down? Take this 20-minute, Level 1 class with Kyle Miller and stretch (and breathe) your way to that amazing feeling of tranquility. Focusing on basic movements, sleep, relaxation, and stress relief, class style is yin. Yin yoga is a slow-paced option where asanas, or poses, are held for longer periods of time--usually five minutes or longer! Created by martial arts expert and Taoist yoga teacher Paulie Zink in the late 1970s, yin yoga poses put modest pressure on connective tissues in order to increase flexibility and circulation in the joints. Movements are also designed to enhance the flow of qi in the body, or the energy believed to run through meridian pathways. A meditative yoga option, yin is all about inner silence. Breath deeply and stretch with Kyle, and let go of daily stress and tension!

Kyle was born and raised in Santa Monica, CA and has been practicing in the area for over 15 years and teaching for 8. Her study and practice deepened when she moved to NYC at 22 and was exposed to the philosophy and teachings behind the physical practice she already loved so much. She delved into study at Jivamukti in NYC, attending their teacher training and completing their 800-hour apprenticeship program. She travelled to India to study one on one with a teacher at an Ayurvedic Retreat and Hospital. She continues to study, practice and celebrate yoga every single day, through conscious action and joyous offering!
