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.

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.

Ease into your morning with mindful movement and breath work in the most beautiful setting. Situated overlooking Bracebridge pool, the Bracebridge terrace will provide us with a beautiful place for an energising and invigorating practice synchronised with the breath. Suitable for all levels.
