Eastern traditions recognise that true wellbeing comes from balancing the opposing energies of yin (calm and cooling) and yang (energetic and fiery). This workshop will offer you an opportunity to drop into the quieter, calmer, restful energies of yin & restorative yoga.
In the initial yin practice (a largely floor-based practice - not a downward dog in sight!) poses are held for 3 minutes or longer allowing muscles and connective tissues to gradually release. We will then drop into deeper stillness through restorative poses. With the body supported by props (pillows and towels are a good replacement for bolsters and blankets), but before the edge of stretch our nervous system can drop into a deep relaxation so we return to our lives a little more balanced, revived and refreshed.
This workshop takes place live online via Zoom so please come with your blankets, bolsters, cushions and whatever you can gather to make a restful nest.
