In this Yin Yoga Series we’ll be exploring Yin poses for surrender, relaxation and nervous-system reset.

In this 5 week Yin yoga series we’ll explore Yin poses that promote relaxation and a sense of ease in the body, leaving you feeling more spacious and calm after each class.

As the days get longer and the light slowly returns we’ll gather on mat 5 Wednesday evenings in February and March to calm our nervous systems, dive deep within and focus our attention towards letting go of whatever no longer serves us.

If you find yourself anxious or overwhelmed about the world and the constant unrest or simply could use a grounding and nurturing practice to keep you centered, this workshop series is for you. 

The classes will focus on long, supported holds to open the spine, center the mind and calm you down, as we prepare the body for a restful sleep or relaxed evening. Each class will have a different focal point, but certain poses will be practiced continuously through the series for the participants to experience the effects and benefits of a consistent and continuous Yoga practice. 

We’ll practice getting out of our heads and into our bodies, releasing stress through mindful breathing, allowing you to take a step back and assess what you really need at the given time. 

During practice we will explore of the second limb of the 8 Limbs of Yoga, The Niyamas:

Saucha: Clarity/purity

Santosha: Contentment

Tapas: Discipline/ sacrifice

Svadhyaya: Self-study/reflection

Isvara Pranidhana: Surrender
