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. Wednesdays 7pm Rise up and Dance, above Shoreline Bray on the Southern cross.

One of my favourite classes of the week! This is a great class for those who want the benefits of moving their body and getting rid of any built up toxins from the week do that you are nicely set up for the weekend ahead. Like a Vinyasa class, each movement is synchronized with breath. Expect this class to include traditional asana (poses) and sequences: sun salutations, standing poses, seated poses, backbends and an opportunity to learn how to deepen. We often go for a sauna/sea swim and or coffee after! This class is open to all levels and is from The Yoga Barre studio in Kilcoole.
