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.

Description
Tune into your body, relieve stress and prepare for rest in this yoga class. Honoring individuals’ energetic levels at the end of the day the pace is slower than our Vinyasa class yet more energised than our yin & restorative classes. The more gentle and calming nature of this class is great for beginners, but is also great for intermediate and advanced students who feel like slowing it down and sinking deeper into their practice.
This class allows you to move the body and burn off excess energy so that you can wind down to a deeper state of relaxation as you prepare for your evening.
A lovely class for getting out of your mind and into your body combing both yin and yang styles not only working on the yin tissues in the body (connective tissues - ligaments, tendons and fascia) to help improve flexibility but also creating the feeling of space and freedom in your body and mind.

Description
Myo-fascial release and yin yoga are both powerful practices and even more so when combined into one practice. Having studied and practiced both yin yoga and myo-fascial release techniques separately for many years, putting them together is a perfect combination to work both the muscular and fascial systems, ironing out any stuckness to create more space and freedom in the body and mind. Combining roll and release techniques with the deep long held postures of Yin yoga helps to free your movement limitations while developing muscular flexibility as well as increasing circulation and mobility in your joints. This myo-yin fusion will help to relieve muscular aches and pains allowing you to move more freely, expanding your range of motion and promoting the free flow of energy through the whole body.
This class is for all levels and ideal for anyone looking to unwind, release and let go of tension and tightness from the body. Practicing these techniques will also help to prevent injury and reduce pain while increasing range of movement and aiding recovery. We combine Yin yoga postures with myofascial release techniques using balls and then we soften and breathe space into our bodies as we unravel, release and let go of tension in our tissues. You will experience blissful sensations as we rebound between each posture stimulating and promoting freedom in the meridian channels of energy as well as the myofascial anatomy trains in the body.

An Introduction to Yoga
A day retreat with Gemma and Niamh
Come back to basics and join Niamh and Gemma to get introduced or re-introduced to some of the fundamental aspects of this ancient practice.
Starting a yoga practice can be exciting but it can also be daunting, this day will be tailored to students new to yoga. All you need to bring is yourself and an open mind.
The day will begin by finding a seat on your mat where you will receive a welcoming introduction, followed by an introduction to pranayama where you will settle in, explore your breath and surrender to stillness, you will then be guided through a gentle meditation that will transition into your first movement practice.
Move through a gentle practice, syncing breath with movement to find your flow. During this practice there will be an option to receive hands on assists to guide you to move into the poses in a way that works best for your body to get the full expression of the pose, in turn receiving maximum benefits.
Once our physical practice is complete we will take a short break for some light refreshments followed by an exploration of some different types of meditations including a walking meditation in the garden and a crafting meditation
After break be prepared to enter a bliss state where you will be guided through a beautiful practice to help you move beyond tension, re-energise and find balance. This deeply relaxing practice of holding poses for a few minutes at a time, using the support of props will help settle the nervous system, create space and freedom in both body and mind and prepare you for the wonder that is Yoga Nidra. Of course this practice will also provide you with the option of physical assists and a deeply grounding therapeutic touch.
When you leave the dome you will feel reconnected with yourself and confident to enter a yoga class or begin a home and you will be sent away with a gift that will forever remind you of the beginning of your yoga journey.
