Description
Yin Yoga combines the physical with the mental and is designed to calm a busy mind. It's a meditative practice where you just surrender to stillness and allow your body to soften and be supported by cushions and blankets on the floor, where you consciously let go of the mind chatter and the inner critic. This class is all levels and suitable for complete beginners.

Yin yoga is one of the best practises you can do to improve flexibility & restore range of motion in your joints and it is the style of yoga that helps us to really wind down and tune inwards as we settle into postures for a few minutes at a time.

Holding postures for a few minutes at a time can be surprisingly challenging. It's confronting and it challenges you slow down and to let go. Sometimes it feels boring, sometimes uncomfortable, other times blissful and then....little by little this hour of self care helps you develop flexibility and inner strength leaving you feeling balanced both physically and energetically.
