Gen MethotA Level 3, 40-minute class from Shayna Hiller, Open Heart is an advanced flow option focusing on backbends and overall strength. Get ready to step out of your comfort zone and seriously sweat while enjoying this Vinyasa-style class. Flow from one yoga posture to the next, such as press handstands with back bending variations as well as arm balance transitions that melt into active inversions. Handstands and similar movements get the blood flowing and subsequently contribute greatly to circulation, and the session’s healing cool down session ensures muscles don’t get tight once the 40 minutes are up. Join Shayna and get ready to challenge yourself! You’ll laugh, you’ll fall, and you’ll have a great time, all while advancing your practice and taking those next steps into perfecting your handstands. Start on your back with knees bent and focus on breath quality, and take a moment to thank yourself for finding the time you need to care for your body and mind.

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.
