Half Vinyasa Flow, half Yin Yoga - this class will challenge and then soothe you.
You will experience both sides of the yogic and energetic spectrum in this class. Yin Yoga is a complementary yoga practice to the more dynamic and invigorating Yang Yoga. During class you will wake up, lengthen and strengthen your muscles, body and mind with an invigorating vinyasa practice followed by a series of floor postures held passively for several minutes in order to access a safe and positive 'stress' on the deep layers of connective tissue in the body. Physically, Yin Yoga restores and maintains the natural mobility of the joints, primarily between the navel and the knees. Energetically, Yin Yoga opens the body's meridian system, which enhances the body's energetic flow and supports emotional equilibrium. It emphasises stillness and silence, and prepares both the body and the mind for a deeper experience in meditation and relaxation. Work hard, play hard, surrender completely.

In yin yoga we target the connective tissues, such as ligaments and fascia, along with the energetic systems of the body, bringing the body into balance and increasing it’s natural range of motion. Most poses are done while seated or lying down and are held in stillness for 3-5 minutes.

Challenging the body and mind on a much different level than other styles of Yoga, Yin will create a deep release through the connective tissues where tensions are stored and you will leave feeling lighter and more open. A therapeutic style for body + mind. This practice will leave you feeling refreshed, renewed and restored. Language: All of our classes are in English Best for: Everyone!
