Vikes Recreation yoga programs - Sun to Stillness

Sun to Stillness

$20 included with membership**

This class invites you to move with the warmth of the sun—not as something to chase, but as something to receive. Through a sequence of sun salutations, we welcome solar energy into our bodies, building steady heat to awaken vitality, presence, and flow.

As the rhythm softens, we transition into restorative poses designed to guide the body toward intentional stillness and deep attunement. Here, we listen inward—resting in the quiet hum beneath the movement, allowing space for integration, grounding, and softness to emerge.

This is a practice of tending to energy, to rest, and to the shifting landscapes within. All levels are welcome.
