Yin Yoga is a gentle physical yoga practice rooted in ancient wisdom traditions. It can, with regular practice, support wellbeing on a number of physical and energetic levels. It also lends itself particularly well to ‘moving inwards’ or meditation. That said, no experience of meditation is required to enjoy the deeply restorative and stilling nature of Yin. Participants will be given time, props and space to explore the stillness of each shape and guidance to shift seamlessly from one supported posture to the next. Previous participants have described this workshop as ‘nourishing, deeply relaxing and a balm for the body and mind’ and ‘a welcome opportunity to re-set the physical and mental self’ as well as ‘a great opportunity to acquire practices that can easily be replicated at home’.
Comfort is a priority in this mini-break workshop and participants will be shown how to use props to optimise physical comfort for longer held poses. Bring along a favourite jumper, throw or toasty socks to feel truly at home in this practice. The workshop will break for thirty minutes at a mid point to enjoy a complementary hot drink.
