Yin yoga is a restful, slow-paced yoga style. It is inspired by the Chinese philosophy of the opposite forces of yin and yang. Yin is seen as
a receptive and restful life force, while yang is active energy. Thus, yin is a more restful and calm yoga style, where we stay in one pose for
2 to 5 minutes. It can be seen as a long meditation where the mind and body come to rest in one pose. It is very complementary to other styles of “yang” yoga, such as Hatha or vinyasa yoga, which is more active.

This is an online class (organised via Zoom). 30 minutes before the class you will receive an automated e-mail with the access link.

In this Deep Rest mini-series, we will focus on the recovery of your body and mind. The classes are based on mindfulness and yoga Nidra techniques. Anyone who can lay on the back can join the class. It’s not necessary to have any prior yoga experience.

Benefits of the classes:
- Relax your body
- Release mental pressure
- Reduce stress and anxiety

This is the perfect class to do right before sleep as a part of your evening routine.

Each class will focus on a different element of relaxation. You will always receive a recording after each class (valid for six days), so no need to worry if you missed out on a class or want to practice again.

We will start the class with gentle mindful movement to reconnect with the body, quiet the mind and become fully present. From thereon, we will continue with the Yoga Nidra practice.

Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a powerful meditation technique, and one of the most accessible yoga practices to develop and maintain. While you will rest comfortably on your back on the floor or your bed/sofa, I will take you through guided meditation and visualisation with my voice.
