Yin yoga is a deeply calming & meditative practice. It is a perfect balance for runners and those who have a more active sports background or yang practice. Yin targets the deep connective tissues of the body – the ligaments, joints, bones, and deep fascia networks. A Yin class usually consists of a series of passive floor poses held for 3 - 5 minutes or more. We move into a pose, where you are encouraged to find your ‘edge’ without forcing or causing any pain. Yin poses mainly work the lower part of the body – the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues. On an energetic level, Yin yoga improves energy flow and enhances the flow of chi in the organs. A yin practice also offers huge mental and emotional benefits too.

An open level class incorporating flow sequences, longer hatha style holds, breath work and relaxation.

Flowing through postures, building some heat, stretching, strengthening & lengthening the muscles, building to longer holds and finishing with relaxation.

This is a very slow paced class where postures are broken down in more detail and is aimed at beginners, those new to yoga, returning after a break or those wanting a slower practice.

We delve into the main foundational postures as well as other aspects of a yoga practice. As we move at a slower pace, the focus will be on alignment in postures that feels right in our bodies, breathwork practices (pranayama), the intention and anatomy of the postures and much more!

A gentle slow flow class suitable for beginners and beyond, linking breath to movement, focussing on transitions and movements with some longer holds in poses. This class works the whole body and includes pranayama (breathing exercise) & a lovely relaxation too.
