DESCRIPTION: Yang or flow or vinyasa yoga as it’s commonly known, encourages the stabilisation and strengthening of the outer muscles (the superficial group), through a series of poses (asana), where we are contracting the muscles to stabilise and build balance in our bodies. This style of yoga warms the muscles, encourages blood flow and fluid to our tissues, while our nervous system is conditioned through pranayama (conscious breathing). 
Yin yoga is passive in style, in that we let the superficial muscle group relax, as much as possible to encourage gravitational forces assigned by the pose we are taking, to move into a designated area in our body. 
Holding the pose for 3-5 minutes at a time and relaxing the body in the shape as much as possible, we are gently allowing the muscles to pull away from the bones, and getting into the deeper tissues of the body such as the fascia, tendons and ligaments. 
The combination of both forms of yoga, produces an effect that stimulates heat in the body through movement, warming the muscles, increasing blood flow and vital energy, while calming the nervous system through conscious breathing. 
Once we enter this warmth, we then incorporate yin poses, conditioning the deeper tissues of the body, while stimulating the meridians (energy lay lines), helping to rejuvenate the chi that carries revitalised energy to our organs.
Classes begin on Saturday, April 6 at 9am and are 75 mins in length. Suitable for beginners and seasoned practitioners.
