This combined Yin Yoga & Sound Bath workshop is designed to bring a sense of calm and ease to both the body and mind.
In Yin Yoga we stay in each pose for longer, gently targeting the body’s deeper connective tissues, including ligaments, tendons, and fascia. By holding the poses and applying moderate stress to these tissues, it helps to release tension in the body, and improve flexibility and joint mobility over time.
It is a very complimentary practice for those who do a lot of strength training, or endurance focused training, like running, or cycling, or for those who participate in triathlons or other similar endurance type events.
In Yin Yoga we activate the rest and digest state of the parasympathetic nervous system, by settling into relative stillness in each pose, and by bringing our awareness and attention to the breath as an anchor, and to the body, and the sensations present as we hold each pose.
In this workshop, we will move through various Yin Yoga poses for one hour, then for the remaining 30 minutes we will rest in Shavasana for a deeply restorative Sound Bath.
