What is Yin Yoga? Yes it’s yoga, but not as you may know it. In contrast to more dynamic yang styles of yoga, yin poses are held for some time; allowing you to settle in and connect with your unique body. Postures are less uniform, extremely adaptable and mostly practised on the floor.

Yin yoga works deeply into the body, engaging our connective tissues, meridians and nervous system.
Whether or not you’re familiar with the Taoist concept of yin and yang, it’s clear that constant activity without adequate rest can lead to burnout – physically, emotionally, or both. Regular yin yoga practise can help us reset in a relatively short space of time; allowing our active lives to thrive.
What to expect
Our small group classes are held in a warm, welcoming environment.
We begin with breathwork to help relax the mind and body, then gradually move through a selection of asanas (yoga poses), holding each one for a few minutes while remaining mindful of our individual needs. Towards the end of the session, we invite rest, allowing us to fully absorb the benefits of the practice.
Each person’s experience during and after a yin yoga session can vary. Some may feel relaxed, radiant or energised, while others might experience physical or emotional releases. All of these sensations are valid and a part of the process.
Is it for me?
If you have an active mind, yin yoga can help calm it. For those who do a lot of exercise, poses can gently stretch the muscles and enhance flexibility. Additionally, yin yoga can promote better sleep and improve energy flow. Overall, most people will benefit from the balance it brings to modern day living.
Please bring a mat, blanket and pillow.
This set of classes will be led by a qualified yin yoga teacher (Duncan or Donna). We hope to see you there, but do get in touch if you’d like more information, email donna.yinfix@gmail.com
