Yin Yoga
The nourishing practice of Yin Yoga, with its longer holds, is designed to target the deeper yin tissues, ligaments, joints and deep fascia to stretch and improve mobility and flexibility in our joints.
Energetically, Yin Yoga may stimulate the energy pathways in the body known as meridians to allow the vital force to flow freely.
Yin Yoga, with its holistic combination of body, mind, and spirit practices, supports restoring balance, calm and a sense of rejuvenation.
Yin Yoga is a still, meditative practice. It is mostly practised on the ground with few standing poses. It generally suits all levels of experience.

Flexibility and joint health
The extended holds in Yin poses stretch the deep connective tissues (fascia, ligaments, and joints) more effectively than active yoga, leading to increased flexibility and improved joint mobility
Improve circulation
Long holds and focused breathing increase the flow of blood and oxygen to tissues, which may help to flush out toxins and promote healing and cell regeneration.
Facilitates emotional release
The deep stretches and long holds can release stored tension and strong emotions, allowing for an emotional detox.
Deeply relaxing
The still, meditative nature of Yin yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting deep relaxation, calmness and a sense of overall peace.
Cultivates mindfulness
The focus on present moment awareness during long holds encourages observation of thoughts and sensations, fostering self-connection and introspection.
Improve sleep
By easing stress and promoting deep relaxation, Yin yoga is known to be particularly effective at improving sleep quality.
