Yin Yoga

Yoga Pose | Breath | Stillness | Meditative

Monday & Wednesday 7pm - 8pm

Yin Yoga, also known as Moving Meditation is a slow-paced style of yoga with more passive floor-based poses which are generally seated or reclined poses. Practiced in a warm room, each pose is held for longer periods of time; about three minutes or more in relative stillness whilst taking, slow deep even breaths. The practice targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body; primarily working the lower part of the body-the hips, pelvis, inner thighs and lower spine.  The slow breathing calms the mind.

The class is led by an instructor who provides instructions to guide you into the poses and each class will differ depending on the target areas being focused on by the pose. Props, such as yoga blocks and straps, are available and modifications are offered, to help you find comfort in the pose.

Yin Yoga is the perfect for everyone, great for beginners with simple instructions. A great complement for those who participate in a high impact sport or are recovering from injury letting your body slow down and reduce the build up of lactic acid from cardio and high impact sports and reduce your recovery time, a common choice for athletes.
