CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Morning classes: Wake up and Prepare for the Day!

Beginning with mindful moments and breathwork, Gillian leads students in a yoga practice to open and stabilize the body and mind. Focusing primarily on shoulder and hip mobility, this breath-led practice includes Sun Salutations, standing postures, and core work. With the chill October mountain air, morning sessions will take place indoors at the Blue Lotus Yoga Studio.

Evening classes: Wind-down and Stretch

Whether you're prepping for the race or cheering competitors on, join Gillian in this centering and stretchy wind-down to release tension from your day. Expect prone and seated stretches, and some standing and balance postures. The evening sessions will take place at the Downshift Brewing outdoor back patio.
