Yin Yoga
Melt into Yuminess! Yin is meditative, slow paced, balancing an active or yang lifestyle. Yin yoga works on the connective tissues which responds best to a slow, steady load, which is why we hold the poses for longer. If you gently stretch connective tissue by holding a yin pose for a long time in this way, the body will respond by making it a little longer and stronger. Experience nourishment and release to mind, body and the nervous system.
Wednesdays 4:45pm-5:45pm

Warm Yin-Yang
Yin yoga is often described as the other half of a yoga practice. Waking up with a balance of Yin & Yang and breaking down the connective tissue fuzz that develops as we sleep. Practising in a ‘warm’ room, not hot. The Yang practice is a more movement based practice, affecting muscles, making them longer and stronger. Our slower Yin practice encourages the body to slowly and mindfully enter yin shapes. Using the breath and remaining focused on the sensations promoted by the pose developing qualities of surrender, allowing full nourishment to the body’s meridians and joints, a perfect beginning to your day.

Core Flow
Expect to increase energy and vitality while building strength and stamina. Some of us can benefit from more mobility (flexibility) while for others building strength and stability is going to be more useful. Our understanding of this and our knowledge of how to personalise the postures is essential to getting the most out of the practice. This class uses a combination of movement, postures and breath to work on strength, flexibility and balance to give you a good physical work-out finishing with some grounding and stretching.
