A gentle blend of Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga, this class explores the energies of yang and yin to create more balance and harmony for the mind and body.
Each student is encouraged to move slowly with awareness. The Vinyasa portion of the practice links slow to moderate movement to the breath and is designed to warm the body in preparation for the Yin portion which includes holding poses for 2-5 minutes. The Yin poses allow the connective tissues, muscles and more to stretch slowly to create more space internally.

In December 2006 Betsy Paul painted a picture for the company Christmas card, and two clients offered to buy it. So she decided to auction the painting and donate the proceeds to the Cashiers-Glenville Fire Department. Years later, the art benefit is still going strong. Art benefit tickets are $5 each and are available for purchase every month (only 100 tickets sold monthly). There is also the option of purchasing a “season ticket” for $60 which gives you one chance to win on each drawing for the next 12 months. The paintings are on display at Betsy Paul Properties. Come by during office hours (Mon-Sat 9-5) to view and purchase ticket(s). The office is located at 870 Highway 64 West next to the historic Toll House. Or if you prefer you can mail your check, payable to the Cashiers-Glenville Fire Department, to Betsy Paul Properties, P. O. Box 713, Cashiers, NC 28717.
