Embracing stillness, enhancing flow and flexibility

This immersive course is an opportunity to explore the Yin Yoga postures in depth while embracing the stillness that the practice can bring about in the bodymind. You will also learn the principals underlying Yin Yoga and how to share the practice effectively with others.

“The work of a yoga teacher is not to impose a certain discipline forcibly, but to provoke the inner consciousness of the person so that he starts loving his body, so he starts playing with his body as if it is a musical instrument. It is!”   Osho

Yin Yoga recognizes that connective tissue is different from muscle and needs to be exercised differently responding best to slow, steady loading. Yin Yoga focuses on promoting flexibility in areas often thought of as nonmalleable, especially the hips, pelvis, and lower spine, areas that exercise a profound influence on the whole body, both in terms of posture and energy flow.
Yin Yoga poses are held for between 3 and 5 minutes with focus on allowing you to move deeper into the pose as tension gradually releases.

Yin Yoga: a massage for your meridians

Recent research suggests that the connective tissues provide pathways for the energy flows in the meridians and nadis of the ancient energy maps. Yin Yoga facilitates this flow and increases awareness of the energy body, allowing the release of blocks and held emotions.
Yin Yoga can be incorporated into your daily routine as a stand-alone practice or as a way to complement and optimize your existing yoga practice or active exercises.
