Yin Yoga
This monthly Yin Yoga class involves slowly moving into shapes or postures, finding your 'edge' - a depth where you can comfortably hold a stretch for several minutes or more, before slowly moving out of the shape into a ‘rebound’ which allows tissues to return to their original state. Yin is practiced mainly down on a mat on the floor. There are very few standing yin postures. This style of yoga slows us down and can be great preparation for bedtime.
What are the benefits of Yin Yoga?
• Helps improve range of movement, hydrates tissues and aids mobility – great for all ages and especially those over 40.
• Reduces recovery time and improves function of muscles after working out at the gym, running cycling, swimming… and other more physically activity.
• Switches off the adrenaline fueled ‘fight or flight’ response, guiding you to a restful, balanced state of body and mind.
IMPORTANT: If you have booked my weekly Monday Hatha Yoga class this yin class is included in your ticket. So, please don’t book this as well.
No experience is required. But please note yin yoga is mainly a floor-based practice and so is unsuitable for those who cannot get down on the floor.
Wear loose fitting comfy clothing.
You will need a yoga mat, blanket, a cushion and maybe you’d like to bring a yoga bolster or bed pillow. Items to help support the body and make you comf
