Gentle yoga in Bucktown, ChicagoSlow flow, long holds and a steady breath.
Gentle Yoga combines the deep release of yin poses with the fluidity of slow-flow vinyasa, plus some core strengthening. The pace is unhurried, and every movement is connected to the breath.
What to expect
Monica Brown has taught Hatha Yoga since 2002, when she certified through the Temple of Kriya Yoga. Her teaching starts from the idea that the breath is often the first place we lose connection with the body, and also the way back to it.
It's a good fit if you're new, stiff, coming back after time off, or you'd simply like a quieter class.
