The autumn equinox, marking the transition from summer to autumn, is often associated with themes of balance, reflection, and release, aligning with the natural cycle of life and also resonating with the premenstrual or luteal phase of a woman's menstrual cycle. This time of year encourages slowing down, introspection, and letting go of what no longer serves, mirroring the way trees shed their leaves.

Unwind after a long day, come to your mat, get grounded and walk away feeling both nourished and free. This class is accessible for all levels. It is a mixture of hatha and vinyasa from Rise up and Dance above Shoreline Bray on the southern cross.

A Yin Yoga class usually consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body—the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues. The poses are held for up to five minutes, sometimes longer. This intimate practice of yoga requires students to be ready to get intimate with the self, with feelings, sensations, and emotions, something of which I have noticed can be easy to avoid in a fast paced yang yoga practice. Yin yoga is often used in programs that deal with addictions, eating disorders, anxiety and deep pain or trauma. It won’t be easy or lazy, just slow, thoughtful, and grounding. .
