A Yin class usually consists of a series of passive floor poses held for up to 5 minutes or more, that mainly work the lower part of the body - the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues.
Benefits of a regular Yin yoga practice :
*Calms and balances the mind and body
*Reduces stress and anxiety
*Increases circulation
*Improves flexibility
*Releases fascia and improves joint mobility
*Balances the internal organs and improves the flow of chi or prana

Yin yoga works on the yin tissues – also known as the connective tissues. Connective tissue responds best to a slow, steady load, which is why we hold the poses for longer. If you gently stretch connective tissue by holding a yin pose for a long time in this way, the body will respond by making it a little longer and stronger – which is exactly what you want.

Different Yin yoga poses stimulate and remove blockages in the myofascial meridians in the body, which in turn balances the body’s internal organs and systems. Yin yoga requires the muscles to relax around the connective tissue in order to get a stretch, so not every yoga pose can be done safely or effectively when practising Yin style yoga.

Vinyasa is a style of yoga where poses are strung together to form one fluid sequence of movement.

The class is fast paced and rhythmical , with a focus on connecting the movements with the rhythm of the breath .

Vinyasa means to move with the breath, which is essentially the core of a Vinyasa flow as it's focus on transitions & movements , with less time spent in stationary Asanas

Rasa Yoga is fusion of both form and flow. Using leading edge biomechanics, functional anatomy, and creative patterns of movement to support optimal strength, flexibility, and vitality in the body temple.

Rasa Yoga is a modern yoga school that honours the roots of yoga and is committed to the equity and inclusion of all. We are dedicated to the Alchemy of Yoga and the Artistry of Life.

Rasa is a Sanskrit word that means “essence, juice, taste, nectar and fulfillment of the soul.”

Rasa Yoga is a soulful fusion of asana, mantra, mudra, myth, pranayama, meditation, functional anatomy, Tantric yoga philosophy, shadow work, and soul alchemy.

Using yoga we can work through various movements with the hips. This ensures the joint stays lubricated, and maintains flexibility in the muscles and tissues surrounding it.

As you practice body awareness through yoga, you become mindful that there isn’t just physical tightness in the hips, but emotional. It’s where we store our emotional vulnerabilities leading to blocked energy.

When you practice a hip opener sequence on a regular basis you notice an improvement in your range of motion, reduction in tightness and that wonderful emotional release. You’ll also see improvement in the rest of your practice, improved circulation and increased energy levels.

Yoga can help us become more consciously aware of our posture. This enables us to stabilise and revitalise our hips by working the correct muscles around the joint to bring us into alignment.

Balancing the two sets of muscles, the abductors and glutes, will help stabilise the thighbone in the hip joint. This is achieved through a strengthening and lengthening practice that keeps the hip secure.

Standing in alignment also works wonders for our mood, giving us a sense of purpose and determination.

Whether it is from sitting at the computer all day, a difficult workout routine or just day-to-day activity and stressors, many people hold tension in their shoulders. It may feel like the side of the neck is actually getting shorter. In fact, it is often the levator scapulae, the muscle that attaches the shoulder blades to the neck, tensing up and pulling in an uncomfortable manner.

However, this tension can be alleviated and eliminated through a Yoga routine. This class is dedicated to release the shoulders and decompress the lower back by strengthening and lengthening .
