Downtown Yoga in the Park: Las Vegas

Join in centering (& CELEBRATING) the mind, body & being in the cultural heart of Downtown Las Vegas: Downtown Container Park. All Ages! Young & old, active or sedentary, every BODY is capable of reaching its own unique challenge & achieving growth along the way. Downtown Yoga continues to help Las Vegans (& visitors from all over the world) find these unique, healthy challenges through the mind-body practice of yoga. Drop by an upcoming class as we enter Year 8 of promoting wellness within the DTLV community! 🌎 Our classes unfold at a welcoming pace for all. Each position, or asana, assumed during class lasts several breath cycles to allow practitioners to ease themselves into complicating forms without getting left behind. It also requires purposeful concentration, as we utilize large muscle groups simultaneously, working through full ranges of motion at the joints. Breathwork techniques, like Pranayama & diaphragmatic breath, will be introduced. Pratyahara (sensory withdrawal) & Dhyana (meditation) are also attempted in our offered classes as we all venture closer toward the self. After working up a sweat, refuel the body with breakfast, lunch, dinner or a cool beverage from one of the eco-friendly park's dining/drinking establishments. Container Park discounts available for all Downtown Yoga attendees! See below for list of participating small businesses. ____________________ DOWNTOWN YOGA IN THE PARK WEEKLY CLASS SCHEDULE: SUNDAY MORNING: 10:00am - 11:15am @ CONTAINER PARK MONDAY NIGHT: 8:00pm - 9:00pm @ CONTAINER PARK *** BRING: WATER + MAT + TOWEL + SUNBLOCK + FRIENDS + FAMILY + OPEN MINDS *** ____________________ CLASS INFO & ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS : > SOUND THERAPY SUNDAY || 1ST & 3RD SUNDAYS 🔊 Every 1st & 3rd Sundays our team delivers resonating sonic vibrations via Tibetan bowls, rain-sticks, healing chimes, gongs, & other instrumentation that help set us back at equilibrium.

Following the sound bath, attendees are guided through prompted journaling topics, collective discussion, & mindful intention setting.

The varying sequences/techniques attempted throughout class are designed to loosen the body, strengthen the muscles, mobilize the joints, & quiet the mind. There is ample opportunity for some upper-level asana postures/peaks for those more daring, but progressions also consist of approachable poses for newer yogis & yoginis to work themself into at their own pace. Rayce is the regular instructor for these classes. ALL AGES & BODY TYPES ARE WELCOME || CLASS LEVEL: LEVEL 1 - 2.5 WHEN: 2nd & 4th Mondays - 8:00pm - 9:00pm DATES: 4/13, 4/27, 5/11, 5/25, 6/8, 6/22, 7/13, 7/27, 8/10, 8/24, 9/14, 9/28, 10/12, 10/26 > OUTDOOR ASHTANGA FLOW || 2ND & 4TH SUNDAYS These morning sessions are led in the Ashtanga style by instructor, Rayce 'The Realtor' Rayos. Rayce founded Downtown YOGA in 2017 after gaining his RYT200 & CPT-ACE credentials, & graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas with Bachelor of Science degrees in Kinesiology & Business Administration- teaching yoga on campus to students, faculty, & staff along the way. His breath-centric class emphasizes techniques known as Pranayama, calls for sensory withdrawal (Pratyahara), & includes meditative elements (Dhyana). About 25-30 postures (Asana) are assumed during this class, spending 5-10 breath cycles (inhales & exhales) in each position, allowing the body to gradually acclimate to the imposed demands, & ultimately deepening the expression of poses as time passes. Relevant anatomical & physiological concepts are explored throughout the 75-minute session.
