Yin Yoga

Is often simply described as yoga for our joints.

Yin Yoga classes target physical pain and discomfort in your Neck. Shoulder. Spine, Hip. Ankle.  

Yin Yoga is a super slow-paced style of yoga where postures are held for long periods of time. 

Yin Yoga works by applying moderate stress to the connective tissues of our body to create more space and ease in our joints.

What are our connective tissues?

These are the parts of the body that ‘connect’ or hold us together such as bones, tendons, ligaments, and fascia… where all the long, deep aches are! 

Yin Yoga increases circulation into our joints and greatly improves flexibility.

It is also a more meditative style of yoga that cultivates awareness and the importance of inner silence and quiet.

Yin yoga is a powerful antidote to our busy lives and restless minds.

You’re guaranteed to leave calmer. And most students report back that they sleep much better.

We currently offer Yin Yoga (and Meditation) THREE times a week.

Tuesdays 6.45PM | Thursdays 6.45pm | Sundays 5.30PM.

No yoga experience needed.

Yin yoga’s teaching in the Western world, beginning in the late 1970s, was founded by martial arts expert and Taoist yoga teacher Paulie Zink. It is now being taught worldwide, due in large part to the teaching activities of Yin yoga teachers and developers Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers.

Introduced to the modern yoga world largely through Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers, Yin is not intended as a complete practice in itself. Rather it is regarded as a complement to more active or dynamic (Yang) forms of yoga and exercise .
