Yin Yoga Evening - A Quiet Challenge
Yin Yoga Workshop
7pm - 9pm on Friday 8th November 2019
The practice of Yin Yoga is to stress the tissues of the body that we don’t usually access in the more energetic Yang style Yoga practices, such as the connective tissues, ligaments, tendons and bones. It can be to slow down, soften, relax and be mindful, to gain experience of the energy body and to become acquainted with our thought patterns. Ultimately it is to enhance our self awareness, tune our insight and access our own inner wisdom. Yin is about the feeling and involves “unhurried postures unstained by striving” (Sarah Powers).
To practice Yin is to bring forth the values of softening, patience, kindness, compassion, acceptance, surrendering and non striving. It will help people to feel more in a world that is so disconnected. On a physical level, we access and affect connective tissues that we don’t access in our yang practices. The focus on function and feeling rather than on aesthetics, will result in a more positive outcome for students. The poses and stretch sensations can be quite impactful and energetic despite seeking stillness through the longer holds. The time out to meditate and spend time with yourself is invaluable in today’s busy world.
The workshop is an open level - caters for any level of ability/experience.
It will develops your mobility, flexibility, posture, body awareness, balance, breath work and relaxation.
Investment - £18 early bird price if booked by 11pm Thursday 31st October 2019, £20 thereafter.
