Learn to connect with yourself, be in the present, let go of tension, and deeply relax, with advanced Yin Yoga Teacher Louise Wallis.

Yin is slow Yoga - a deliciously deep, meditative practice, using floor-based postures that are held for several minutes at a time. By remaining still, we can become more receptive and attuned to what's going on inside: to listen to our senses, our intuition, and the subtle signals transmitted by our bodies - which helps us to better recognise and meet our needs. Mind "chatter” is lessened and the “volume” turned down on persistent and negative thought patterns.

With Yin we learn to let go. To give up gripping and holding on, and release physical and mental tension that we may not have been aware we'd been carrying until this moment on the mat.

The last 15 minutes of the class will be devoted to Yoga Nidra, a deeply relaxing full body meditation practised lying down, and aiming to achieve the blissful, dreamlike place in-between sleeping and waking.

Yin & Yoga Nidra is a match made in heaven. This wonderful combination is grounding, calming and revitalising, with profound energetic and emotional effects when practiced regularly. Including improved sleep. This workshop is ideal for anyone wanting to de-stress & unwind, or try a less dynamic style of Yoga.

Suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced practiioners. Yoga mats and props provided, but you may want to bring a blanket and cushion to get cosy.
