Life got you worn to a frazzle? It turns out there is rest for the weary. Get a dose of calm, grounding energy at Yin & Kava – A Relaxation Revolution Kava, a revered plant from the South Pacific, has long been used in rituals of celebration and connection. The root’s kavalactones offer a profound gift: a calm, relaxed, and easygoing state of mind. This powerful plant ally can: • Soothe intense emotions • Release deep muscle tension • Offer a gentle, euphoric lift • Foster meaningful community connection At Yin & Kava, we’ll begin with a ceremonial experience, sharing the kava beverage together to set the tone for relaxation and renewal. Then, we’ll drop into a yin yoga practice designed to amplify kava’s tension-melting effects. In yin yoga, we hold each pose for 3-5 minutes, inviting deep surrender and mindful awareness. This pairing allows you to fully let go of external stress and turn inward to reconnect with your source of well-being. Step out of the chaos and into stillness. Join us at Yin & Kava to cultivate a sense of ease, release, and connection.

Connect with the ancient energy of Zion’s red rocks in this grounding yoga practice. As we flow through mindful movement and breath, we’ll explore poses that promote stability, balance, and rootedness—drawing inspiration from the strength of the earth beneath us. Along the way, we’ll discuss the geological processes that shaped this stunning landscape over millions of years. Perfect for all levels, this class invites you to slow down, ground yourself, and tap into the timeless energy of nature while gaining a deeper understanding of the powerful forces that formed Zion.
