A slow and gentle yoga class focused on flexibility and releasing tension. Suitable for all levels including beginners. The postures are held for longer than in a regular class with the aid of props for comfort to encourage release
Yin yoga is a gentle yet powerful mind-body-spirit practice that offers relief from the stresses and strains of the busy lifestyles many of us lead. Through long held, deeply releasing postures the muscles of the body relax allowing the work to begin on the deeper, less pliable tissues of the body, easing tension and creating more flexibility.
As you hold each pose, you'll be invited to turn your attention inwards, allowing yourself to notice whatever arises in your body and mind. You'll cultivate more patience and a greater willingness to surrender.
Each class finishes with a guided relaxation so you'll leave feeling fully rested and restored.

We suggest that you wear something comfortable that allows you to move, sit and lie down comfortably. Layers are always very handy as are socks so that you can keep warm, particularly during relaxation.
Please bring a yoga mat if you have one and a blanket or large towel. If you have your own yoga props such as blocks and bricks please feel free to bring those too, although don't worry if you don't have these - a blanket/towel can be just as helpful.
