The practice of yoga has been around for thousands of years—and through the ages, like a magnificent old tree, it has branched out in a myriad of uniquely beautiful directions. Though they’re all rooted in the foundation of yogic philosophy and principles of alignment, individual classes can be a different from one another as earth and sky. Here at Kindness, we feel blessed to be living in a time of rich evolutionary growth for this ancient practice. We are dedicated to providing the Denver community with a rich diversity of experience that honors yoga’s sacred past and looks to our community’s bright future—while helping us all learn to fully embody the present.

Kindness Kids engages children ages 3–12 with a fun, play-based yoga practice while parents enjoy a more grown-up practice in another room.

Using a series of guided visualizations and deep relaxation techniques, this “inner body yoga” is designed to help practitioners move beyond the conditioned mind into a state of expanded self-awareness. By gaining access to the deeper realms of the mind, the student can more effectively release tension, anxiety, unwanted habits and self-limiting beliefs—awakening his or her greatest potential. Each class begins with 15 minutes of gentle, meditative movement, with the balance of the practice experienced in savasana.
Prenatal yoga class supports women during pregnancy by integrating yoga practices with education about the natural changes in the body and mind. Breathing, postures and other yoga techniques explored in this class allow participants to nurture and open their bodies throughout pregnancy. All of the practices and techniques learned will directly benefit the birthing process.
Restorative Yoga is particularly effective for those who feel weak, fatigued, or stressed, but is beneficial to anyone wishing to experience its therapeutic power and grace. Restorative yoga is used to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for balancing the body. By stimulating this system, you experience a lower heart rate and blood pressure. This also helps stimulate your immune and endocrine systems in a healthy way. The deep relaxation response, elicited by rest ovate yoga also results in benefit to internal organs. Many of the postures will utilize props (pillows, bolsters, blankets, blocks) to facilitate a deeper sense of relaxation while in the poses.
Kindness Yoga is pleased to offer a community class to veterans of America’s armed forces, along with their family and friends. In honor of this group’s ongoing contribution to our way of life, this class is free. Any members of the community who would like to participate in this class may also attend for free.
Vinyasa is a flowing, dynamic yoga practice that connects breath with movement through a series of postures. This popular form of yoga allows for a lot of diversity in teaching styles, giving instructors the creative freedom to tailor the sequences and pace to reflect their individual personality. Although styles vary, most classes will feature several elements of traditional Ashtanga yoga—including sun salutations, pranayama (breath work) and bandhas (muscle constrictions). These elements are creatively sequenced to build heat, explore energy and foster greater awareness in mind, body and spirit. This practice will build strength, aide balance and weight loss, while reducing stress and increasing vitality.
Yin yoga stretches the connective tissues of the body. Primary connective tissues include the hips, thighs and lower spinal area. These types of tissues do not stretch the muscles (as in the yang form of yoga) but they stretch and exercise the bone and joints areas of the body. This type of asana practice is beneficial to a wide variety of people. Yin yoga is a perfect match for yang yoga, and provides a deeper stretch. Although yin yoga is not as intense as other yang forms of yoga, its long duration can be difficult to maintain. The duration of some posture positions may last up to 20 minutes at a time.
