Recharging Flow
Melanie SchwankA Level 2, 40-minute class from Shayna that focuses on basic movements as well as balancing poses and a sense of well-roundedness, this session allows you to get “everything you need” in a short amount of time. Its concentration on basic poses makes it ideal for yoga “newbies.” Beautifully sequenced to include a thorough warm-up before moving into standing and balancing poses, this basic class also includes a nice cool down section. A Vinyasa-style class, breathing is naturally a huge part of the session, as the melding of the mind with the breath is a staple of Vinyasa practice. Take some much-needed time for yourself and feel refreshed, focused, and calm, yet energized at the same time. Shayna starts the yoga class with Hero’s Pose, and encourages practitioners to use yoga blocks if needed to put less pressure on the quads and knee joints. Lengthen the spine, feel the energy in the body, and go from there!

Shayna was born and raised in Jersey but always has been a California girl at heart! She started practicing yoga while studying abroad in Australia during college. She fell in love and ended up returning to the states and completed her first 200 hour teacher training on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Since then, she has almost ten years and 1,000 hours of professional yoga training. Yoga was and still is like a best friend- a reminder to be present and enjoy being in your body. It led her to self-love, strength, and the ability to create a life she loves. Sharing the gift of yoga and witnessing her students’ personal transformation, inside and out, is an honor and a privilege for her.
