(virtual) FALL EQUINOX + FULL MOON : Yin Yoga w/ Crystals + Essential Oils
Zoom online studio space opens 15 min ahead of class time so that you can get settled. You'll receive an email reminder prior to class that will have a link to the suggested playlist in it (please feel free to use this, your own music, or silence during your practice).
Can't attend this day/time? Class will be recorded and sent to all who register....watch & practice as much as you'd like (recording will expire after 1 week).
Join Jenny White in an all levels stay at hOMe yin yoga mini retreat, guiding us to shift into Fall and calling upon September's Full Moon energy as we drift further away from the sun. She'll guide you to incorporate crystals and essential oils throughout your poses, to enhance your practice if you like (optional).
Yin yoga is a gentle form of yoga, appropriate for any level, and the ultimate self care. In yin, we hold poses for longer amounts of time to allow gravity to take over, our parasympathetic nervous system to kick in gear, and calm in our mind and body. It is TRULY the best hour of self care.

SET UP :
I encourage you to treat your practice like a mini home retreat for yourself. Below are some of my favorite suggestions for a blissful practice :
- Set up your area in a quiet and dim space. If you love candles, essential oils, etc, set them up around you. I have students that practice in their in their living room, in a dedicated yoga space in their home, in their closet! Truly just get to your mat, but if it helps you to create an aesthetic space that grounds and calms you, then have fun creating your special space.
- For aroma yin, I suggest incorporating your oils in the following ways :
diffuse your blend in your yoga space
prep a damp facecloth ahead of class - add a drop or two of your blend. place it in the fridge for a couple of hours before your practice, then have it near your mat to use during savasana.
keep a bottle/roller/spray bottle of your oil or blend nearby your mat to incorporate during class.
- A yoga mat is not necessary for yin, but if you have one, unroll it. You could even get super comfy by placing a bath mat or blanket on top of your mat (especially if you have hardwood floors)!
- Have several yoga props available...blocks and bolsters if you have them, bed pillows, blankets and towels if you don't.
- It might feel lovely to wrap yourself in a blanket during your practice or savasana - consider having one nearby just in case!
