Yin yoga is a slow and meditative form of yoga inspired by Taoism and Chinese Medicine. The poses are floor-based and time is spent in each pose to allow you to deeply relax into them. We use plenty of bolsters, cushions and blankets to ensure you're comfortable and warm.
The poses will mainly focus on the pelvis and spine, encouraging the flow of energy (prana, qi or chi). It is complementary to more dynamic (Yang) forms of yoga and together they form a holistic practice. Time spent in each pose encourages self-reflection and deep body awareness.
A great way to ease yourself into the festive season.

During this workshop we’ll explore a range of restorative poses and also a deep lying relaxation known as Yoga Nidra. This extended relaxation includes guided body and breath awareness and visualisation. Both practices are helpful in reducing stress, anxiety and insomnia.
Only 5 spaces are available so please book quickly.

We think more about food than we do breathing. We can last 3 weeks without food, a few days without water but only a few minutes without breathing. Breathing is not only essential, it is directly linked to our ability to relax and focus the mind. Where the breath goes, our mind follows so by controlling the breath we can tame an unruly mind - what a attractive prospect!
During this relaxed 3-hour workshop we'll look at breath in the flow of asana sequences (such as sun salutation), as well as seated and lying exercises to expand, lengthen and also explore the pauses between each breath. It's in the pause between breaths that you can learn to experience a still mind.
We'll explore how we breathe when active and passive, and practice a range of simple breathing techniques, known as pranayama, that help to energise, balance and calm the body and reduce mental chatter.
When used regularly, deep yoga breathing can boost your performance in sport and on other nerve-wracking occasions such as presentations, speeches and interviews.
You'll be encouraged and supported to reflect on sensations and feelings that arise from each of the exercises. Handouts on the techniques will be available to take home, including a short home practice suggestion. All equipment is available at the studio and refreshments will be provided mid-afternoon.
Everyone is welcome, including complete beginners. Please wear comfortable clothes to allow you to sit and move comfortably. Cross-legged sitting is not essential.
