Yin Yoga is a part of the original Hatha Yoga tradition. Yin Yoga combines the influences of Indian Yoga with Chinese Daoist practices and Western science to improve our health and well-being on many levels. With its emphasis on long held, passive stretches of the deeper connective tissues, Yin Yoga mobilises and strengthens our joints, ligaments and deep fascial tissue networks throughout the body.
As Yin Yoga is mainly a seated or supine practice, we will use our available studio props such as bolsters, blocks, straps and blankets, to fully support and hold the body and ensure the optimum pose can be achieved for your body’s ability.
Yin Yoga classes are deeply relaxing, restoring equilibrium, balance and harmony throughout your body.
