• HATHA & YIN YOGA CLASSES AT POLYNESIAN SPA

Madelyn Skilton brings her expertise in Hatha, Yin and Vinyasa Yoga to Polynesian Spa, offering supportive classes that cater to both beginners and those with more experience.

Hatha & Yin Yoga

Join our Monday evening class for a balanced practice that combines Hatha’s steady pace and postural focus with the calming release of Yin. Each class begins with gentle breathwork and intention setting, before moving into a Hatha sequence designed to build strength, balance, and awareness. Poses are held for several breaths, with modifications available for those with injuries or mobility limitations, as well as progressions for anyone wanting to deepen their practice.

Towards the end of class, Madelyn introduces a Yin sequence with longer holds and deep stretches to invite softness and stillness into the body. The session closes with meditation or Shavasana, leaving you centred, grounded, and refreshed.

Schedule:

Monday evenings – 5:30 to 6:30 pm

Yoga mats, blocks, straps and bolsters are included in the price. Classes are $25 and pool packages can be added.
