Yin Yoga - Fridays 9:30 to 10:45am
Term 1: 5th Feb to 16th April 2021 (11 week block)

The term “yin yoga” comes from the Taoist tradition. Yang relates to movement, often repetitive movement, creating heat in the body. Yin is about finding stillness and cooling the body and the theory goes that we need both to come into balance to stay in optimum health & wellbeing.

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with poses, or asanas, that are held for longer periods of time—five minutes or more per pose. In Yin poses we focus on stilling the body, to cultivate stillness in the mind, we take the focus to the connective tissues providing a deeper release. The Yin style of yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body and the fascia that covers the body; by doing so this helps to regulate the flow of energy within. With practice, this exploration into our bodies can become meditative & deeply healing on all levels. Yin yoga can complement an already active life or help those who feel distracted by mind chatter.

Classes are designed to balance the entire energy system, help relieve stress, increase your flexibility, strengthen your physical body & leave you feeling revitalised and peaceful.
