YIN FOR ALL SEASONS :: Second Summer Session

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18th from 5:30 - 6:45pm

with Michelle James

Pause.Notice.Allow.

Join Michelle for a nourishing Yin Yoga series aligned with the rhythms of the seasons. Yin is a slower paced, mostly floor-based practice where postures are held for longer periods, inviting stillness in both body and mind while gently stimulating the connective tissues (tendons, ligaments, and fascia).

This meditative, grounding practice supports mobility and flexibility, encourages fascial release and helps to deepen awareness of the mind-body connection. As the body softens and the mind quiets, you are creating space to turn inward, settle the nervous system, and connect within. 

By allowing gravity to do the work, you are invited to explore your edge of sensation with kindness and curiosity, cultivating a non-striving approach.

Each session is inspired by the five Yin seasons and their corresponding elements and meridian pathways, with space for intention-setting and reflection, offering a holistic framework for balance, resilience, and renewal throughout the year.

MEET MICHELLE: 

Michelle’s yoga journey began through her work with children and families and a desire to share yoga and mindfulness with families impacted by childhood cancer, inspired by her own family’s experience. With a background in early childhood education and over 20 years supporting children and families, she completed her 200-hour teacher training through Yoga Muse School of Yoga in 2019 and has continued to deepen her studies through additional training in Yoga for Recovery, Yoga & Cancer, Yin, Restorative Yoga and Reiki. Michelle continues to approach both teaching and practice as a lifelong student.

Michelle offers accessible practices that invite you to arrive just as you are, honoring that every body and every experience is unique. Inspired by nature and the rhythms of the earth, her classes encourage grounding, presence, and a deeper awareness of the mind-body connection. What begins gently often unfolds into opportunities for exploration and self-discovery. Along the way, you are invited to pause and notice with curiosity—to witness how postures feel in your own body and explore the relationship between effort and ease, challenge and compassion.

Off the mat, Michelle enjoys spending time in nature - kayaking, hiking, four-wheeling - crocheting, laughing and adventuring with her husband, three grown children, and two precious grandchildren.
