Yin Yoga Sunday

Sundays  11.00 -12.30  am

Who is this class for?

• Maybe you want a starting point into meditation

• Maybe you want a slower, more meditative practice to balance your fast paced, active life
• Maybe you want to boost your energy as yin yoga is like having an acupuncture treatment 
• Maybe you want to turn inward and tune into your mind and the physical sensations of your body
• Maybe you want to stretch and lengthen your connective tissues and increase your flexibility
• Maybe you want to boost your circulation and lower your stress levels
• Maybe you have injuries or chronic conditions and would like a more restorative practice

Yin Yoga is a slow meditative practice which targets deep connective tissues in the body including fascia, ligaments, bones, and joints. It incorporates Traditional Chinese Medicine as meridian lines are targeted in the postures. Postures are typically seated or reclined and held for 3 to 5 minutes. The practice fosters stillness, mindfulness, and increased body awareness.  Many people find it a useful gateway into meditation.

What to expect:  Explanation of the theme/focus of the class.  Opening check in to see how you feel and check ins throughout the practice.  Breathwork.  Yin postures – there are plenty of props available to support you throughout the practice.  Relaxation to close.

The best bit: 15 – minute final relaxation to allow the body to integrate the practice.

Each week will have a new theme and will be announced on Facebook.
