Based on ancient Chinese and Taoist philosophies, yin yoga is a simple, quiet but powerful practice. Experience this grounding and calming practice which has profound physical, energetic and emotional effects. Despite its relaxed appearance, yin yoga is physically and mentally challenging, but in a very supportive way. While ‘yang’ yoga works on your muscles, ‘yin’ yoga focuses on your fascia – your deep connective tissues. During seated or supine (lying down) postures, practised for several minutes, you will be able to increasingly turn inward and observe the responses of your mind and body, finding ways to breathe through the discomfort and to sit with your thoughts more easily. Physically, you will nourish tissues in the body, easing tightness and deeply held tension. You will target meridians (energy channels) in the body, opening up blockages and allowing Qi or our life force to flow more easily.
