Yoga

In Yin yoga, the poses are held for a long period of time to target the connective tissues (such as the ligaments) rather than focusing on the muscles. Yin Yoga has its roots in China and was founded on the Taoist theory of yin and yang – opposite concepts that, together, represent balance. Yin is stable and passive, while yang is changing and active. The yin poses, therefore, are passive and performed while seated or lying. The poses are held with the muscles fully relaxed, allowing time and gravity to deepen the stretch and target the fascia. The time spent holding these asanas allow for deep self reflection and meditation.

Suitable for all levels

Join Sian for a seven week journey through the Chakras. Each week will focus on one chakra as we make our way from the root all the way up to the crown. The sessions will be Yin/Yang style yoga, using Yang-movement, flow and strength followed by Yin - restoration, stillness and reflection, to really help balance each chakra. Sian will also channel reiki and use sound bowls for part of the session. Yin Yoga is a slow paced, meditative version of the spiritual discipline of yoga.
