FLUID Bliss®: Where Fluid Yoga Flow and SPA Yoga Meet

Rev up your body with a slow Fluid Yoga vinyasa flow of smartly sequenced asanas designed to promote strength and flexibility, then renew your spirit and mind with the SPA Yoga signature floor-based, whole-body sensory experience. We’ll find balance between movement and stillness, effort and rest, steadiness and ease—in a 50/50 split of standing and floor work. Close practice with a luscious extended savasana that will bring you to your happy place.  It’s a Yin / Yang practice with a FLUID / SPA VIBE.

The Spring Equinox marks the beginning of a period of renewal and growth. What has been lying dormant for winter is now ready to come to light. We see this in nature and within ourselves. This is a time when we feel a pull to do some “spring cleaning” in the structure of our lives by creating new habits. By tapping into the energy of the season, we can create a clear sense of what we want to accomplish and how to get there.

Join Julie Iatron for a 90-minute Yin Yoga workshop in Acton, Massachusetts that invites us to slow down, let go, and come to stillness as we shift into this period of growth.
