Yin Yang Charity Yoga class

Use one of your prepaid passes or buy a single class pass for £10 to book this class.


Yin Yang Yoga blends two styles of yoga into one practice – bringing together the benefits of passively holding yoga poses with more dynamic sequences and standing postures.
Yin is more internal, passive, cooling and downward. Yang is more external, dynamic, warming and upward.
When these terms are applied in yoga, Yin Yoga is a slower practice where poses are passively held for longer. It works on the deep, dense (Yin) connective tissues and joints in the body. Yang Yoga, in contrast, refers to a more active practice. This works on the (Yang) muscles and blood flow, building strength, stamina and flexibility.

Benefits of a Yin Yang Yoga practice
Yin Yoga
* Improves flexibility and joint mobility
* Calms and balances the mind and body
* Reduces stress and anxiety
* Works deeply on the connective tissues (fascia, tendons and ligaments)
* Can prepare the practitioner for meditation practice
Yang Yoga
* Strengthens and tones the body
* Improves flexibility and circulation
* Increases stamina
* Calms the mind down by inviting us to synchronise movement with breath
* Removes tension in the body to allow breath to flow.

Practising Yin and Yang Yoga together
“The practice of yin/yang yoga helps us learn about stillness in movement and the flow in stillness.” Sarah Powers  
The class will begin with Yang and finish with Yin to leave you feeling calm and grounded.
