Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga uses slow static holds that lead to deep release. It strengthens and enhances the health of the body’s connective tissue framework, including the fascia, ligaments and tendons as well as joints and bones. Yin Yoga enhances the flow of prana/energy to the body and can release blockages and excess energy in the meridian pathways.

Yin Yoga can be very beneficial emotionally as the practice invites us to sit with emotions as they arise and to cultivate mindfulness whilst deepening into the posture, we are invited to remain present with any emotions as they arise allowing the emotions to rise and fall, open and change. This can support us to let go of old emotional patterns that are stored deep in the body.

It may also be described as a body centred meditation, through deep still postures’ we can access a deep meditative state.
