Are you new to Yoga? Or has it been a while since you were last on the mat? We will start slowly and gently, discovering how we feel in the body as we move into a series of yoga poses to the extent that we can at the time. We will develop an understanding of the benefits of each and how to enter and exit each pose smoothly and safely. We will also look at variations that may be more beneficial for individual needs. We will synchronise the movements with the breath and learn some helpful pranayamas you can use on and off the mat as well as some simple mantras and their benefits. Yoga is wonderful in helping to manage and reduce stress, increase flexibility, strength and muscle tone, and effectively balance our entire system.

Take command of your day and set the intention to flow with a calm mind and awareness of the heart and soul.
During this Ashtanga practice we will surrender to the present moment to find our full peace and power; focusing on energy and the breath through a sequence of Ashtanga styled asanas. Grounding a foundation to build upon a beautiful day. I’ll be grateful to see you there 🫶🏼

~ Suitable for ALL levels ~

By slowing the mind and the beats of the heart, we will take a journey of powerful connection into the body, mind and soul. Working through the five elements to bring balance to both the physical and subtle body.

This is your opportunity to tune into the body and observe the mind.

The elements according to Yin -

Wood element : Gall Bladder and Liver Meridian lines

Fire element : Small Intestine and Heart Meridian Lines

Earth element : Stomach and Spleen Meridian Lines

Metal element : Lungs and Large Intestine Meridian Lines

Water element : Kidney and Urinary Bladder Meridian lines

Yin Yoga Principles
The three principles of Yin (the three Tattvas)
1. Come into the pose to an appropriate depth (find your edge and diminish the Ego)
2. Resolve to remain still (unless your body opens and allows you to go deeper)
3. Hold the pose for prolonged periods of time (1-20 minutes)

By following the three Tattvas of Yin, we are able work past the superficial layers of the body - tapping into our energy channels (meridian lines/Nadis) in a similar way to acupressure, as well as working into the deeper connective tissues of the body, such as the Tendons, Ligaments and Joint capsules.
