“Yin” means moon, the feminine energy and “Yang” means sun, the masculine energy. Yin is slow, passive and reflective while Yang is fast, active and engaging. The blending of yin / yang postures in this class allows your body and mind to totally relax while remaining present in the here-and-now.

Our core is a symbolic center of power. A strong core helps us a lot with yoga as well as our day-to-day postures. For instance, standing, arm balancing and inverting poses; it also helps to protect our lower back as it support the back by taking away the pressure we put onto it everyday. Core vinyasa is to connect different postures to a sequence to make the class fun and active. With focus put on strengthening our core, we will also feature few core strengthening poses.

Yin yoga is to hold the postures for a relatively longer period of time (typically 2-5 mins.), aiming at awakening the deep connective
tissues in our body, the tendons, fascia, and ligaments. Practising yin yoga on a regular basis helps to increase circulation in the
joints and improve overall flexibility.

To practise mindfulness is to observe ourselves at the present moment in a non-judgmental, non-reactive and compassionate way.
This class incorporates mindfulness practice into yin poses. A typical class starts with some breathing exercises (pranayama), then various deep stretching poses (yin poses). It is a more meditative approach to yoga as it encourages the cultivation of awareness of our inner body.
