All Levels Yin
Thursdays 6.45pm 75 minute Interactive Live Stream
We prepare ourselves for stillness with some movement and breathwork at the beginning of class in order to easefully transition from activities of the day into postures and a mind-frame that supports the calming of the nervous system and the opening of the body. Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style where the postures are held for longer periods of time to create moderate stress on the connective tissues of the body with the aim to improve circulation, joint health and flexibility. This slow approach is inherently meditative and encourages quiet self-reflection, self-compassion and relaxation. This class suits absolute beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

Everything we experience needs to be processed and moved through us otherwise it builds up, starts pouring out in ways we don't quite understand. Yin Yoga is a container for sifting through that which is held in the body. The time spent in the postures, without forcing, connects us to an innate state of allowing that we have become distanced from. Our culture rewards pushing, striving, overcoming and dominating. There needs to be a balance and Yin yoga is one way to steer towards that balance.

This slow approach is inherently meditative and encourages quiet self- reflection, self-compassion and relaxation. Working with a sequence of Yin yoga poses that open the body and the energy channels within we will move towards stillness and guided meditation for deep relaxation. This session is a great way to reconnect with yourself and process what is held in your body. There will be lots of quiet time to allow wisdom to bubble to the surface.
