Bookended Yin: Vin–Yin–Restore: 90-Minute Saturday Evening Class with Desi
Yin Yoga is a beautiful complement to soaking in the hot springs. Join us before or after your soak to ease into deep relaxation and reconnect with your body. This mindful practice helps you slow down and tune inward.
We’ll begin close to the ground with gentle Vinyasa movement and breathwork to help you settle onto your mats. Then, we’ll shift into longer-held Yin poses (3–5 minutes) to nourish the deeper connective tissues, with mindful transitions in between. In the 90-minute format (when props are available), we’ll close with Restorative Yoga. Soft music may accompany the practice.

Venmo: @TrailRunningYogi_Desi
I took my first yoga class in 2008 while visiting Costa Rica and haven’t looked back since. Yoga continues to bring me a sense of community, ease, clarity, and joy.
Over the years, I’ve gravitated toward slower practices that support deep tissue release and connection to yoga philosophy. I’m trained in Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, and Yoga Nidra, with a 200-hour YTT from The Grinning Yogi (Pacific Northwest) and an additional 75-hour YTT from Channels of Healing / East Wind Yoga (Auburn, CA).
In my classes, I prioritize inclusivity, alignment, and creating a welcoming space where everyone can show up just as they are—whether it’s their first class or their hundredth. I enjoy blending movement and stillness, and working with fascia, especially as someone who understands the stiffness and injuries that come from running and commuting.
When I’m not on the mat, you’ll likely find me trail running somewhere beautiful.
I hope to practice with you soon!

Qigong: Tools for Self-healing: 1-1/4 hour class With Beth Freewomon
Qigong (A.K.A. Chi Gong) is a moving meditation technique that not only improves physical fitness, but also assists us in achieving a deeper sense of calm, relieves tension and stress, and helps us recover from injury and illness. It is part of the ancient systems of Taoism and Chinese medicine that value the interconnectedness and inherent wholeness of all of our Self and our body’s seeming parts. Qigong supports our bodies’ natural capacity for self-healing. Qigong allows us to relax, get out of “fight or flight” and our parasympathetic nervous system to take over so healing can happen. Our practice includes conscious breathing, stretching, activation of chi, flowing movements and more.
