Vin-Yin Flow

Vin Yin Yoga, also referred to as Yin Yang Yoga, is a yoga sequence that combines Vinyasa Yoga and Yin Yoga. This is normally done with Vinyasa as the first half of the sequence and Yin Yoga as the second half. The Vinyasa portion warms the body up and rids your body of excess energy. After this, your body is ready to relax and lengthen during the Yin Yoga portion.  Come to experience breath, flow, balance and stretching to release in our mind, body and spirit anything you’ve held onto throughout your day.  

All levels. (prenatal, beginner and first timer friendly).

Lead Instructor - 200-hr E-RYT , Certified in Restorative and Yoga Nidra

“I have done yoga for almost half of my life. As I began my yoga journey it was the physical aspect of yoga as well as mental that attracted me. I had no idea that my yoga practice would take me to such a deep personal relationship with God. It improved my focus, ability to hold prayer and space. As I continue along my journey and deepen my faith I’m happy to share what I have learned and where I have come from. I feel I can truly relate to people on all yoga levels, as I have been on them. My style of yoga is Vinyasa Flow and I enjoy the creative freedom that I bring to my practice. I love to sprinkle in some fun. The freedom to express my faith through yoga is something that I cherish about this studio.”

Laura lives in Lincoln with her husband Kristian, their five children, two cats, and pug puppy named Joy. She loves all kinds of music, reading, and travel.

Practicing yoga creates space that allows us to pause to acknowledge the beauty in our breath. Space gives us permission to wonder how we can hold things a little more loosely. My journey with yoga has encouraged me to seek out the moments where things feel a little bit lighter and a little less overwhelming to me and in turn, hold space for those around me to do the same.

 

Yoga allows us to show up as we are and tune in, and sometimes it is nice to do that in community with others. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be part of the Studio 4:8 family, where showing up, having faith, and figuring it out together are part of the daily routine.

I began practicing yoga in my bedroom with a VHS tape my grandma gave me when I was 14 years old and going through some very difficult times. Although my practice has certainly developed, changed and evolved over the past 3+ decades, I am so grateful for each step of the journey. I have predominantly practiced at home on my own, with Studio 4:8 being the first place I ever practiced in a class setting. The studio, the members, the instructors, every bit of my time at this studio has blessed me in immeasurable ways and never ceases to leave my cup overflowing.

Yoga has the power to make both my best, and my worst, days better. It helps center and ground me, fosters a quieting of the mind, connects my body, mind and spirit and helps draw me closer to my Creator and the purpose He has for my life. Yoga creates a unique opportunity to link breath and movement which is probably my favorite part of the practice. It has been a journey for me in the realization that the real depth and breadth of yoga is in the breath and the culmination of each individual’s journey toward stillness in the mind and body. In the flow of breath and motion, yoga coaxes us from the confines of our known, across a silent threshold and into the vastness of still.

I moved to Lincoln in July 2020 after having spent much of my life in North Platte, NE. and I have two children, ages 24 and 22. Other occupational titles I hold include: physical therapy technician, Licensed Massage Therapist and USA Swimming club coach. I love anything outdoors with hiking, paddleboarding, kayaking and gardening among some of my favorite outdoor activities. I also cherish time spent with family and traveling as well as cooking and creating things like herbal salves and tinctures.

I am hopeful to be of service to God and others as an instructor in this beautiful space.

Practicing yoga gives us a chance to understand the mind and body connection. Giving us a chance to understand our patterns, strengths, weaknesses. All are important to establish a work-life balance, which is very much needed in today’s world.

Yoga helps me conquer my anxiety, live in the moment, continuing my journey of self-discovery.

When I am not on my yoga mat, I love being outdoors. My hobbies are kayaking, hiking, and camping. When stuck in doors I am an avid reader.

I live in Lincoln with my husband Joe. We have six grown children (along with our fur baby named Abby), and eight grandkids.
