Downtown YOGA in the Park: Las Vegas

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 7 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.

CLASS INFO & ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS :

> OUTDOOR ASHTANGA FLOW || EVERY SATURDAY

Saturday 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 Univeristy 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.

ALL AGES, ABILITY LEVELS, & BODY TYPES ARE WELCOME || LEVEL 1-2

WHEN: Every Saturday & Second Sundays - 8:45am - 10:00am

> SOUND THERAPY SUNDAY || 1ST & 3RD SUNDAYS

Every 1st & 3rd Sundays we deliver resonating sonic vibrations via Tibetan bowls, rain-sticks, healing chimes, gongs, & other instrumentation that help set us back at equilibrium. These deeply-felt frequencies are made possible from the peaceful stylings of Sable Danielle. Following the sound bath, attendees are guided through prompted journaling topics, collective discussion, & mindful intention setting.

WHEN: 1st & 3rd Sundays - 8:45am - 9:00am

Whether you're new to yoga, or a seasoned practitioner, this gentle (though powerful) practive will leave you feeling grounded, refreshed, & at peace. The yoga portion of the class is led by Brianna Harris, & the tea/meditation portions are led by Amber Nicole, founders of the non-profit organization Rooted N Flo- an organization dedicated to empowering BIPOC communities on their holistic health journeys.

> MOONLIT MONDAY VINYASA || EVERY MONDAY

Get in sync with these active sessions that feature extended sequencing, allowing the body movement to link with the flow of breath, typical of the Vinyasa style. 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 2-3

WHEN: Every Monday - 8:00pm - 9:00pm

> GUEST INSTRUCTION FROM A DIVERSE NETWORK OF YOGA PROFESSIONALS

Our classes often feature a guest instructor teaching a session (or recurring class) in order to enhance the diversity & scope of the techniques offered here at Downtown YOGA. Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Iyengar, Yin, Kundalini & other integrated forms can all be found in action on the lawn throughout the warmer parts of the year. Check the monthly schedule on the @DowntownYoga_ Instagram page for guest teacher info & corresponding class dates. We certainly invite all yoga-goers to try different forms of yoga that will expand their practice, hopefully bringing forth novelty and growth.

In the life of any person, especially in the year 2025, taking the time to tap in with the breath & brain (while simultaneously testing our anatomy in rewarding ways) allows for growth to occur on conscious & subconscious levels. Human expression is rooted in an individual's experiences, & what better to experience wholeheartedly than your own being? Plus, it allows us to come together as a community and raise our collective consciousness (& conscientiousness) as we share time & expend effort together !

Yoga is an ancient Sanskrit word loosely translating to union or yoke. It is said in reference to the unification of one’s body & mind through continual practice, leading to outward clarity & knowledge of self gradually taking root in diligent yoginis & yogis all over the world... for millennia!

It is truly intended for all humans, & every BODY.

See ya' on the mat soon! Namasté.
