I was initially drawn to yoga to complement my gym based fitness. Within a few classes I was hooked, drawn by not only the effect Yoga had on me physically but also emotionally and mentally. Yoga teaches you how to really listen to, and connect with, your body, your breath, and your mind. This connection is fundamental not only to my own personal practice, but also to my teaching. Drawing from the flow of Vinyasa and Hatha yoga and also the more passive and longer held postures of Yin yoga, my classes include a combination of flowing postures and held postures, to challenge the body in different ways, enabling deeper exploration of the practice and all the positive effects that Yoga brings. I hope that you will leave my classes feeling not only more flexible, stronger and invigorated, but also calmed, balanced and restored.

Description

In this autumn extended Yin class Sam will guide you through a series of floor based, longer held, Yin postures, encouraging the use of props to support you as you invite stillness, softness and ease, prompting a sense of mindfulness and wellbeing.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is the season to nourish your Lung Qi, to invite in what you need to sustain you, and let go of what you no longer need, what depletes you. We will explore this aspect of TCM during this specially themed class.

A practice suitable for anyone new to the practice of Yin yoga. Guidance and alternatives will be offered.
