Description

Yin yoga is practice where we consciously slow down and stay in shapes for several minutes. An aspect of this practice is influencing energetic flows through the body. One way of approaching this practice is through the map of acupressure points. This is about accessing what can be translated as ‘threads that connect’ (sometimes these are called ‘meridians’). The aspiration is to become more well within our bodies: and this wellness is inclusive – body heart mind.

There will be some theory and discussion but the session will be mostly practice.
