In this class, we will aim to connect to our body, mind, and spirit by holding poses aimed at releasing, stretching, and enlivening the connective tissues of the body for 1-5 minutes at a time. The slow pace and held postures allow us time to connect to what exists in the present moment: physically, emotionally, and mentally. In this safe, supported space, we are asked to connect deeply to our breath, meet our edge, find stillness, and approach everything with the perspective of a mindful observer. Through this curiosity and openness, we are able to connect to an innate sense of stillness, calm, and peace. This practice is informed by yogic philosophy and Chinese medicine; it is suitable for all ages, experiences, and body types. For questions about this class, please feel free to email Morgan at morgan.dashko@gmail.com.

Morgan Dashko began practicing yoga in 2011 while in college and in serious need of stress and anxiety relief. After attending her first class, she became enamored with the vinyasa and power flow styles and thus began a mostly daily practice. Morgan completed a 200-hour RYT training in 2013 and has been teaching ever since. Through time, she’s moved more toward gentle flow and yin styles, and in May 2023, she completed a 30-hour yin training at Stone Wave Studio in Gardiner. Morgan fully believes in the ability of yin to help people connect to their own wise teacher, divine path, and personal healing. Her life on and off the mat is informed by meditation practice, a deep awe and love of life, and a desire to connect with the world around me. When she’s not practicing or guiding class, you can find her dabbling in homesteading-type activities or on a farm. Morgan is grateful to Emily and Felicia for welcoming her and is stoked to be a part of the VSAIA community.
