Yin is back at LION!

Yin Yoga is a gentle and relaxing all-level class that works deeply into the connective tissues such as ligaments, bones and joints, in turn stimulating the energetic flow of the subtle body.

Passive and soft poses are used within the practice, the challenge is to maintain the postures for long periods of time, whilst bringing awareness to the breath and presence of mind, which in turn cultivates inner strength and outer flexibility. There is a power in stillness and the regular practice of stillness whilst focusing the mind brings mental clarity.

Allow yourself permission to slow down.

After working in the entertainment and hospitality industry for over 25 years Barney came to yoga several years ago when in search of a healthier more relaxed way of life. He was instantly hooked. Then about 5 years into his own practice, he decided to train to teach and completed his 200-hour yoga teacher training in Morocco and has since added on additional training with Norman Blair. Barney believes yoga has helped bring a calmness and balance to his life, enriching it in the process. As a passionate Yoga teacher his aim is to share this, empowering others to tune into their own mind and body, developing a feel-good practice for themselves. His teaching style is a mix of Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin. He likes to take a calming approach, allowing students space to breath into postures, whilst presenting the odd challenge or two!
