£30pp

Cultivate harmony and balance as we breathe into our yin poses, releasing and letting go of tension, increasing flexibility as our Fascia, connective tissues and bones are energised as we soften into edge. Stimulate the meridian channels, releasing blockages an encouraging energy, Chi, Prana, life force to flow through your entire being.

Expect myo-fascial release techniques, using cork or tennis balls to activate more Qi through the acupressure points and meridians with yin postures. We will also find somatic movement patterns to release any stagnant tension/trauma/emotions.

This workshop will continue with the theme of element of Fire and season of Summer which brings radiance, fire, and expression. Balance your wellbeing by turning inward with this fascial movement & Yin yoga workshop celebrating manifestation and change. Pranayama breathing excercises to restore harmony to the mind, body, and spirit — and balances the solar and lunar within us. Restore and balance our energy by encouraging us to turn inwards and towards stillness to counteract the late nights, long days, and lust for life that summer carries with it.

At the end of the session we will have a Yoga Nidra to fully connect to our Sankalpa/Intention and to create a sense of true rest and restore.

Sankalpa means an intention formed by the heart and mind -- a solemn vow, determination, or will. In practical terms a Sankalpa means a one-pointed resolve to focus both psychologically and philosophically on a specific goal. A sankalpa is a tool meant to refine the will, and to focus and harmonise mind and body

In Yin Yoga, we hold the poses for a longer time than usual awakening to the more yin qualities of the self.
As we stretch into a pose and let go, we address mostly the connective tissue and the ligaments of the body.

In the modern world, we find that many yang patterns and the archetype of the "warrior" are quite predominant.
We are "dreaming" of another reality in which we might find more happiness, we struggle to change what is...

As we soften into our heart and body tissues we become more ready to simply flow with life. Our muscles relax,
our fascia becomes more elastic and plastic. The heart softens. 

Yin Yoga is a beautiful ceremony. It vibrates to different rhythms and traditions, recites poetry, follows our heartbeat and it's quality is always Love.
