About this event

(Glover) Core and Restore Yoga @2319 Wisconsin Ave NW Thanks for keeping it safe, DC! Please arrive at least five min before class. Thanks! Class description: Deepen your strength and then surrender to deep rest in this Core & Restore yoga class, a practice perfectly designed to balance functional core movement with rejuvenating relaxation. This all-levels class begins with an energizing, core-centric sequence focusing on deep abdominal stability, obliques, and spinal support through purposeful yoga balances. After building fiery strength from the inside out, the pace slows down into passive, deeply restorative floor poses to release tension in the hips and shoulders. We close the practice with an extended, guided Savasana relaxation to calm the nervous system and let the mind quiet completely. You can leave this class feeling centered, open, and entirely rejuvenated. Read on to learn about class levels, details on the class sequencing, and important information about your class location/format. Why the same class type can feel different when taught by different teachers: It’s our mission to ensure yoga is accessible and meets your needs! Each Yoga District teacher has their own way of teaching yoga, so we recommend trying a variety of class types with a variety of teachers. With so many options, you're bound to find a teacher and class type that work for you! Class levels: - In our all levels, aka level 1-3, classes, options for all levels of experience are offered. - In our level 1-2 class, options for both total beginners as well as intermediate practitioners of yoga will be provided - In level 1.5-2 classes, options for beginners with some experience as well as intermediate participants are provided. - In level 2-3 classes, options for both intermediate and advanced participants will be provided. - In level 1.5-3 class, options for beginners with some experience as well as intermediate and advanced participants will be provided. - In level 1 and level 1-1.5 classes, options for people totally new to yoga are the focus. Here's what to expect in the beginning, middle and end of class: Classes usually start with a series of "grounding", stabilizing movements. This can help you reconnect your mind with your body, while connecting the pace of body movements to the breath. Then the class usually transitions to more warming, strengthening, engaging poses. Toward the end of class you may find poses that focus on flexibility and release. Class usually ends with a final relaxation in "savasana" pose, during which you can lay quietly in stillness to let go. This combination of practices can help you achieve what some refer to as the goal of yoga: awareness of interconnectivity and oneness, bringing about a compassionate way of being.
