Courage & Calm, Light & Dark, Push & Pull.... Yin & Yang... every action requires an equal and opposite reaction. Given our very busy and stimulating lives an opportunity to balance our bodies and nervous systems, this class will introduce any level of practitioner to the understanding that our bodies need dynamic movement (Yang) but also to slow down to replenish and allow for deep rest (Yin).

Starting with an energetic and strengthening series (Yang). Getting the body and energy moving, as we begin to wring out all the stresses of the work day, both physically and mentally. This standing series will include the same poses in every practice and it gives the practitioner the opportunity to notice growth of practice and honour where they are at. This series contains no downdog or flow - making it an excellent option for those with upper body injuries or mobility issues (getting up and down off the floor for example).

The second half of our class is a wonderfully nourishing, releasing and restorative Yin Yoga practice. Mindful long held floor based stretches targeting the deep connective tissue, ligaments and fascia of the body; increasing our flexibility, rebalancing our energy, whilst allowing for the mind and nervous system to settle down deeply into a calming meditative state.

The result? A sense of balance, a deep feeling of release and "letting go" of tension carried and stored in our bodies and minds. A sense of being in harmony and naturally energized.

This class will benefit both a beginner and advanced practitioner as the practice is truly for each individual.
