- About Instructor: Erika Cain Yoga Instructor, Unwind’s Creative Expressionist and instinctively curious about natural healing modalities.

Blissful Alignment
A yoga practice to guide us into balance as we age gracefully and joyfully. Inspired by Anusara Yoga, this class has a strong emphasis on the “Universal Principles of Alignment.” These principles are the focal point of the practice and will give you direction on aligning your body, heart and mind in a way that optimizes strength, good health, and wellbeing. This class is suitable for most levels, including beginners who live an active life.
- About Instructor: Gillian Whatmore: A British yoga devotee since high school and a massage therapist for 30 years, this whimsical soul shares magic both on the yoga mat and on the massage table. With extensive experience coupled with the Anusara Yoga approach, Gillian is a wealth of knowledge in the yoga studio – you’ll be sure to sparkle a little brighter when leaving her class. Her passion for healing and helping deeply resonates on the massage table. As a Neuromuscular Massage Therapist and a practitioner of John Barnes Myofascial Release, Gillian has a wonderful method of transporting you into an optimized version of yourself, both physically and energetically. When she’s not at the studio, check the water for you may see her racing her Sunfish sailboat! Favorite asana: “Half-moon pose because it counters our daily motions and lets us shine out.” What she loves about Unwind: “It’s genuine nature” (we love your genuine nature too, Gillian!)

Rewind: Restorative / Yoga Nidra
Location

Therapeutic yoga for deep rest.
Thursdays at 5 PM
Known to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, this passive class guides participants into reclined postures softly supported by props and held for five or more minutes each. The practice closes with Yoga Nidra, or “Yogic Sleep,” which is a state of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness. They say 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra = 3 hours of deep REM sleep and can rest the mind, reduce stress, and leave you feeling relaxed and restored.
- About Instructor: My name is Lauren Pidone and am from Washington DC. My love for yoga began as a way to express myself physically, emotionally and energetically. Yoga, meditation and movement have become my greatest tools for healing and strengthening both body and mind from chronic pain and traumas. Inspired by a blend of yoga styles, my classes allow students to cultivate strength, confidence, balance and peace on and off the mat.

Cleanse: Backyard Flow
Location
A Monthly Ritual Offered by Unwind
First Sunday of the Month 9:30 AM *note the earlier time during the warmer months!
Together, we come into the breath and quiet the mind as we find steadiness in asana surrounded by the cleansing power of mother nature. As we absorb Vitamin D, and tune into the natural melodies of the great outdoors, we practice appreciating the strength of our practice without needing to achieve anything other than coming into the present moment and truly experiencing it.
Come as you are, be in the flow, and enjoy homemade pastries, coffee and mimosas.
