Intermediate Yin Yoga

Service Description

Yin is a passive style of yoga which first came about in the 1990s, making it a very modern branch of yoga family tree! All of the shapes which we explore in yin are designed to allow the muscles to rest (often with the help of props & variations) & the tissues in between to gradually find their true range of motion with the help of time & gravity. When we talk about an intermediate level practice it is not that the poses are different or more difficult or that less props or variations will be available. Physically the practice will be much the same as our monthly all levels yin classes, but that there will be less instruction to allow for more time in silent reflection as you find and hold your version of each shape. For many it is the stillness in body & mind which is the most difficult aspect of yin, but often also the most satisfying.
