Injury Recovery

Healing & Recovery

Healing and recovery from injury can be physical, emotional, and mental. Often, it’s a bit of all three. For physical recovery, we offer a variety of classes that provide adaptions and encourage listening to your body for a safe practice.

Healing and recovery can also be finding way in a difficult world, mental health, significant events in your life, and other things that have a way of influencing our mind and body. For this healing, we offer a variety of classes that are trauma informed that focus on a mind-body connection to facilitate mental health and nervous system regulation.

  • This class is intentionally focused on strengthening the back, abdominals, and lower body to support back health. Expect to start with a mindful warm up moving the spine, postures that encourage growth in your practice, strength building, and ending with savasana. This class is suitable for all levels.

  • This class is intentionally focused on increasing strength and flexibility to all the major joints through breath and asana, creating space by stretching into places where there is muscular tension/trapped energy, and strengthening the hips, knees, and shoulders. Expect to start with a mindful warm up moving the spine, postures that build endurance and stability, and ending with savasana. This class is suitable for all levels. 

  • This slow, intentional Hatha practice guides you through the chakras using steady postures, gentle movement, and focused breathwork. Classical asanas, restorative shapes, mantra, and visualization help stimulate each energy center and support the free flow of prana. Class ends with a restful Savasana to integrate the work, leaving you feeling grounded, calm, and energetically balanced.

  • Essential Hatha is Namaste’s signature class offering a true all-levels yoga class where you can focus on what your practice needs. Whether you want to be more mindful in your body and movement or want to find your edge and advance your practice, you will find it in this class. Expect to start with a mindful warm up or pranayama (focused breath), and intentional guided asana sequences with cues on proper alignment with opportunities to try variations and different levels of both physical and mental challenges. Each teacher brings their own style to this all-levels class. 

  • Gentle Restorative Hatha is a guided, calming yoga practice focused on relaxation and gentle stretching. This class combines traditional postures with somatic restorative elements and uses props (blankets, bolsters) to support the body in restful postures. Slow, gentle movements help re-educate the brain to relax and improve muscle function. This class is supportive in reducing stress, calming the nervous system, and promoting a sense of well-being. This class offers cues on proper alignment, including multiple variations, providing you with the tools to safely practice yoga in your own unique body.

  • Restorative Yoga is a trauma-informed practice and can be transformative for overall well-being and focus through nervous system regulation. This class requires little physical effort and is grounded in principles that promote comfort and safety for the body so that the mind can find a state of deep relaxation. This relaxed state allows access to the parasympathetic nervous system, the body's natural relaxation response. Expect to start with gentle movement followed by 2-4 postures on the mat where the body is fully supported through the use of props so that no effort is needed and a focus on the breath. By tapping into how our body responds to relaxation in a supported environment.

  • Somatic Yoga is a trauma-informed blend of Hatha Yoga, somatic experiencing, pranayama (focused breath), and healing meditations. In this practice, we explore new movement patterns, referred to as “somatic movement flows” that combine classical hatha yoga postures to intentionally bring your focus to movement rather than a posture.This class begins gently and gradually expands into a fully guided practice. You’ll have the flexibility to customize your experience, whether you want to modify or intensify movements. Somatic experiencing can help identify root causes of muscular pain, enhance your nervous system resilience, and empower you to reprogram outdated stress patterns stored deep within your body.

  • Start your day on the right foot (or maybe both feet) and a big stretch! This early morning class is a welcoming blend of gentle joint mobilization, dynamic stretches, breathwork, and strength-building movements. We'll move through flowing sequences designed to open up your joints, invite space into your muscles, and reconnect you with your breath. Come as you are; pajamas, yawns, and bedhead welcome. Leave feeling a little lighter, a little stronger, and a lot more ready to take on whatever the day brings.
