ONLINE Yin Yoga

Service Description

Yin Yoga is a slow paced, passive form of yoga. Yin Yoga is unique in that you are asked to relax in the posture and soften the muscles so it offers a deeper access to the body. Āsanas are mainly floor based and are held for a longer period with the support of props, as we focus the practice on myo-fascia (connective tissue) release. When these postures are linked with mindful breathing they release body tension and stress, increase flexibility and nourish the joints and fascia of the body. This style of practice supports the pace of our busy yang lifestyle. Through fascial release you will experience a greater range of mobility and you will be supporting your nervous system and immunity. Accessible for all levels and all abilities. Yin classes can be helpful if you are: - Experiencing Anxiety - Wanting to improve range of movement and flexibility - Needing to slow down - Seeking balance in your life - Feel like you are depleted or lack energy **This Livestream Option Is Best Suited To:** - Students with a regular yoga practice - Those confident in moving with their own breath and body awareness - Those familiar with adapting their practice safely at home *As this livestream runs alongside our in-studio class, the teacher’s primary focus will be with students in the shala. While you’ll be warmly welcomed into the virtual space, individual guidance and modifications will be more limited online. For this reason, we recommend that absolute beginners, pregnant students, or those managing injuries join us in person where we can better support you. If you’ve practiced with us before, you’ll recognise the rhythm, care and intention we offer in every class. And as always, you’re encouraged to move at your own pace, take rest when needed, and meet yourself exactly as you are. *What You’ll Need: - A yoga mat or carpeted floor - Cushions, bolsters or pillows - Yoga blocks or folded towels - A blanket - Access to some wall space for support, occasionally for some postures *How It Works: - Upon booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your Zoom link. Also, you can access this link under “My Bookings” via our booking app or website. - Please join the online class about 5-10 mins before class starts so the teacher can admit you in from the zoom "waiting room". This way you'll have time to settle in, check your sound and video. - If joining from a phone, download the Zoom app beforehand for best results.
