Yin
Yin classes are for those looking to slow down and unwind. These classes offer a chance to connect with your breath and find space within your body. Known for its super-chill vibe and therapeutic effects, the class has been described as a massage from the inside out.

This type of yoga is excellent for stretching your muscles and tissues and releasing any tension in your body. In addition, it can help you focus on your breath, stay present in the moment, and work through any challenges that arise. Overall, Yin Yoga is an excellent way to relax and unwind.

Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga is a form of yoga practiced at a slower pace, providing many benefits. This type of yoga promotes a deep sense of relaxation in the mind and body, releases muscular tension, aids in stress and pain management, and enhances strength and flexibility.
During a restorative yoga class, you'll practice seated, supine, and prone poses supported by bolsters, blocks, and blankets. Each posture is held for up to 10 minutes, allowing the body to access and release deep connective tissues such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia. Restorative yoga is an excellent way to improve your physical and mental well-being.
The primary difference between Yin and restorative yoga is that Yin yoga focuses on stretching the connective tissues, while restorative yoga concentrates on releasing mind-body tension and bringing the nervous system into a state of healing.

Teachers at Your Yoga Place
Owner- AnnMarie S. McBrearty E-RYT200 E-RYT500, YACEP
I grew up in East Northport and started practicing yoga in high school. Even when I moved to the city for work, I continued to study and practice yoga. In 2006, I received my 200 Hour Yoga Certificate from Yoga Works NYC after training with renowned instructors Jodie Rufty, Jenny Arthur, and Alan Finger.
In the years that followed, I began teaching yoga and honed my skills by pursuing the 500 Hour Teaching Certificate from Yoga Sutra NYC in 2010. The program was led by a team of accomplished trainers, including Guta Hedewig, Jill Cammera, Edwin Bryant, Chase Bossart, and Adrienne Burke, all of whom helped me to fine-tune my skills and develop a deeper understanding of yoga. Additionally, I have had the privilege of studying under Jason Crandell, Srivatsa Ramaswami, Rodeny Yee and Todd Norian, all of whom have been instrumental in my development as a yoga instructor.
Since returning to East Northport in 2011, I have been teaching yoga locally and privately. I am proficient in Vinyasa, Hatha, Alignment, and Classical Methods in the Krishnamacharya lineage. I take pride in my ability to teach anatomy-based alignment and creative vinyasa flow, and I am grateful to have had the support of Pamela Shannon, who encouraged me to pursue teaching in the early 2000s.
As a lifelong student and practitioner of yoga, I have always aspired to have my own studio in which I could share my love and knowledge of yoga with others. I am thrilled to finally have a studio in my hometown of East Northport, and I look forward to creating a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about yoga and its many benefits.
