Noelle Kelly
Noelle discovered the path of yoga in 2010 and fell in love with the practice right away, not only for the physical benefits but also the mental, emotional and spiritual benefits.
Noelle has studied under numerous teachers, in a range of different countries and surroundings. Learning from such a diverse group of teachers helped her gain a unique perspective and understanding of all aspects of yoga.
Completing her initial training at the end of 2020, Noelle is now a 500RYT with almost 1000 hours of training completed as well as over 600 hours teaching experience as she began teaching in early 2021.
Noelle has a passion for all types of yoga from Hatha to Ashtanga, Rocket to Vinyasa, Kundalini to Yin and Restorative.
Vinyasa is her main self-practice and teaching style.
In 2022, Noelle was lucky enough to spend two months training in Rishikesh India, the yoga capital of the world so she takes a holistic, spiritual and inclusive approach to her classes to uplift not only the body, but also the mind and spirit.
Description
Yin yoga is a slow-paced, mindful style of yoga in which the postures are held for longer periods of time, ranging from 2 to 5 minutes. We incorporate the use of props like bolster pillows to allow the body to stretch passively. In yin yoga, time is more important than intensity. Yin postures apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body i.e. the tendons, fascia, and ligaments, with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Practitioners are encouraged to establish their own “edge” in every pose, and to work within the limitations of their own bodies, find stillness and observe whatever arises.
Yin has its origins in traditional Chinese Medicine and has similar effects to acupuncture as it works with chi and the meridian lines in the body. Yin yoga can improve energy flow, enhance the flow of chi in the organs, and offer emotional and mental health benefits. In addition to people seeking a calmer, quieter practice, Yin is also an excellent style of yoga to complement more active forms of yoga and sports. Often practiced later in the day, it is the perfect way to unwind both the mind and body at any time of day to allow for balance in the body and a restful sleep.
