Description
In this Yin Yoga Series we will explore the application of compression, stretch and twist in classes that focus on specific areas of the body to improve mobility, circulation, energy flow and dissolve tension, stress, toxins and scar tissue. Each class focuses on providing a variety of postures to one specific area of the body that are held for time. This work creates space and length into the deep connective tissues, fascia and other Yin tissues in the body that are often more plastic than elastic and need the application of stress over a period of time to improve mobility. Each class will be taught at a mindful and meditative pace and will provide you with the tools to nurture your own body when you find yourself in moments of injury, strain or stress, through the use of meditation, asana and Savasana. Every practice will be taught from the floor and you will either be in postures on your belly, back or in a seated position. The classes are nourishing on the nervous system and provide the body and mind with time and space. You will also be offered lots of modifications and variations through the incorporation of Yoga props during your Yin practices to support your unique body, empower you on your mat and to make all the classes inclusive and accessible. This course will be beneficial to anyone new to Yin Yoga, seasoned practitioners who love Yin Yoga, individuals who are working with injury and are looking for recovery practices and Yin Yoga teachers looking for class inspiration, sequencing options and how to become more comfortable using props in class.
