Yin yoga is a slow, deep practice of yoga that really allows our body to slow down, rejuvenate and release physically, mentally and emotionally - improving inner silence, awareness and reducing stress and anxiety.

The postures are passive, mainly on the floor but still challenging!
Postures are held for a long period of time, between 3 to 5 minutes or more, applying moderate stress to the connective tissues working deep into the bones, tendons, fascia and ligaments.

The focus is mainly on hips (where we hold a lot of emotional tension), pelvis, inner thighs, hamstrings and lower spine as well as shoulders. We use props to ensure support and comfort allowing us to relax into the postures, increase circulation to our joints and improve the flow of qi (subtle energy) through our body.

It is the perfect compliment to other yang yoga practises or physical forms of exercise such as running , cycling or if you spent a long time sitting down at your desk

Saturday it is the perfect time to let go of all the tensions in your body and your mind from your whole week and start the weekend, fresh, calm and re-energised
