Join Lisa on her monthly yin sessions with a yin yoga workshop focused primarily on the heart chakra and heart/lung meridians. A guided meditation throughout class will focus on self-love.

There’s a reason why yoga teachers love sequencing heart-opening classes — in fact, there are plenty. To start, us modern-day Westerners spend an awful lot of time contracting the front of our bodies (think of our posture as we sit in front of a computer or in a car), and it’s rare that we balance this behaviour with opening the eastern face of the body. The result? Short and constricted front bodies, less effective breathing patterns and a temperament that is closed rather than open and receptive to the world. Yin yoga can make a huge difference.

 (TCM) and bodywork therapies all agree that the importance of the heart reaches far beyond its physical functions and plays a profound role in our energetic, emotional and spiritual lives. Yin yoga with its gentle, passive poses, is the perfect practice to encourage the liberating experience of opening the heart while also providing grounding and support.

Yin is a style of yoga where poses are held for several minutes in order to bring controlled stress within your connective tissue, which allows for deep release. No prior yoga experience is necessary! Each pose will allow you to relieve tension within your body along with a guided meditation to promote calm peacefulness within your mind.
Aromatherapy, salt lamps, eye pillows, bolsters and lots of blankets set the scene for the extra long savasana at the end of the class!
