During this Yin Yoga Summer Series, we will use floor-based Yin poses to restore, heal, stretch, and destress the body while relaxing the mind and soul. Yin is beneficial for all body types and all levels – from beginners to people with existing joint issues and injuries. Holding these healing and prop-supported poses will open the thicker layers of connective tissues around the joints, unravelling areas of tension that a dynamic yoga practice cannot always access.
This evening class is to help slow down the nervous system to be with your mind, body, and soul. Each week will focus on a different theme both physically and mentally. Yin yoga targets your deep connective fascia tissues and ligaments. It is a slower and more meditative practice, giving you space to turn inward and tune into your mental and the physical sensations of your body. In yin yoga, you will hold poses for a longer period of time, sometimes up to 3 or 5 minutes, this helps to stretch and lengthen tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.
Blocks and straps will be provided. Please bring your pillow, yoga mat and/or blanket(s) for your comfort. Attendees are welcome to bring additional props if required. Comfy clothes essentional.
