An all-levels practice to “floss” the tension out of tight shoulders and a stiff neck. This class will focus on joint mobility, releasing pent up tension in the muscles that support the shoulder, neck and upper back, while strategically training these areas to be stronger and more supportive for those long days at work, or after a weird night of sleep. Recommended props: yoga mat or chair, 2 blocks (or books) Also meets: Tuesday, Thursday
This class is appropriate for all students with all experience levels, including new and beginner students who are still learning the basics.
Gentle, seated with slow hand movements.
Niki took her first yoga class at 12 and has been a student of the practice ever since. Her philosophy is that yoga is as much about what happens on the mat as what your mentality is all day long - managing stress, choosing love over fear and overcoming excuses. She holds an advanced Psychology degree from the University of South Florida, and is registered as an E-500 and Y.A.C.E.P. with the internationally acclaimed Yoga Alliance. Yoga is for every body, and her style is down-to-earth. You’ll move, and you’ll learn a lot, too! Expect variations of postures, modifications, props, breath work and specific cues to advance your own practice, class by class.

I've taken this class regularly for more than 6 months. We frequently do a thing where we make circles with our heads, as if we're tracing the face of a clock. My clock's gears would grind at 2:00 every single time, but Niki tells us to breathe through it and go slow. Yesterday was finally the first time I had no grinding, and it felt like such an accomplishment!

This class is the only thing I can imagine getting out of bed for, and it was worth it to make progress in the effort to differentiate my back, neck, shoulders, and facial muscles from one another. I'm so grateful for Niki's expertise, patience, and superb classroom management.

This class has helped me reduce long standing pain and reconnect with my neck and shoulders in a positive way. I use the library classes between lessons.

I learn so much every time I join a class with Niki. It's teaching me to slowly ease into a stretch and I feel amazing after every class.

This class got me moving muscles that haven't been stretched or moved in a long time. I definitely plan to take more like this class.

While my primary concern is neck degeneration, I have wrist and hand arthritis that is significant. This class today made both feel much better!
