Description
Indulge in a deeply nurturing and nourishing yin yoga practice softly illuminated by salt lamps and low lighting. We explore and experience long held yin shapes to access and influence the fascial network of your body. Yin provides space and time to cultivate breath and body awareness, to sense muscular holdings, stresses and tensions and provides an opportunity to release, let go and let be.
This quiet, slow, somatic and therapeutic yoga supports your mental, emotional and physical health and wellbeing. The practice promotes presence, slowing down and turning inwards to explore the deeper layers of your inner landscape.
This class is an antidote for those who experience stress, anxiety, burnout and fatigue. Your yin practice will leave you feeling grounded, calm, replenished and relaxed and well prepared for a good night’s sleep.
Join us to release, regulate and rest.
Paula teaches with a functional approach which respects the unique anatomy of each individual and provides adaptations and choice - emphasis is placed on the therapeutic function of the pose rather than the aesthetic. Paula guides yin yoga with somatic enquiry - guiding you to the insights and wisdom of your body.
This introspective practice is suitable for everybody and is beginner friendly.
We use artificial candles, fairy lights and salt lamps - scent free.
