Yin Yoga is as old as traditional Hatha Yoga, it just never had a name until the 21st Century and yin yoga is fast becoming the most popular style of yoga today.

I teach traditional Hatha yoga but primarily focus on the slower yin and restorative styles. The undoing kind of yoga, not the doing kind.

A slower style of yoga supports our adrenals and activates our parasympathetic nervous system - the rest and digest. Most of us live too much in our sympathetic nervous system- the fight and flight.  This is causing so many to be unwell.

In a yin class we breathe more, we rest deeper and we let go of tension and tightness. 

We hold the poses for longer so the physical focus is much deeper than in a general yoga class and this longer hold creates space for reflection of the Self.  Layer by layer, breath by breath a true letting go occurs. 

Yin yoga is a more meditative approach to yoga than a vinyasa flow and I like to think of yin as the undoing kind of practice.  We do enough already. Now is the time to slow down and be still.  

Instead of doing, you get to undo all the tension you’ve built up over time.
