Yin yoga is a passive form of yoga that helps in moving energy throughout the body and helps improve physical, mental and emotional well being. It focuses on stillness, emphasises on longer, deeper stretching of the tissues that surround body’s moving parts.
Unlike more dynamic yoga practices, Yin Yoga does not involve flowing movements. Instead, it encourages practitioners to find stillness and surrender into each pose, using props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks to support body and deepen the stretch.
Yin Yoga is often described as a meditative practice, as it requires practitioners to cultivate a sense of mindfulness and presence, and to tune into the sensations and emotions that arise during the practice. It can be a powerful tool for reducing stress, increasing flexibility and range of motion, and promoting overall wellbeing.
We follow a traditional approach to teaching Yin Yoga, based on the teachings of the renowned Yin Yoga teacher Paul. We also integrate traditional Indian and Chinese wisdom and philosophy into their training.
The course includes a combination of theoretical study, hands-on practice, and practical teaching experience. We accompany students in their transformation that can occur through the practice of yin yoga and we aim to provide a supportive and transformative learning environment for students.
