Yin Yoga is practiced at a slow, accessible pace, and with most of the poses done seated or laying down. Poses are held for 3 – 5 minute to stretch the dense connective tissue (facia) of the whole body. We use props (blocks, straps, cushions, rollers, and balls) so you can relax, feel supported, and get deeper into the body. Throughout the long holds, there is a strong focus on being mindful, coming back to the breath, staying present in the moment, and letting go of tension in the body. This class is suitable for all levels and abilities.

Yamuna Body Rolling was created by Yamuna Zake, a yoga teacher from New York with over 30 years of experience as a yoga practitioner and teacher. Yamuna body rolling elongates the muscle; it stimulates tendons and frees up joints. Working with the ball reveals how tightness in certain muscles restricts movements in the joints. As they release, the joint loosens up. Body rolling decongests and unsticks connective tissue and stimulates bone. It also encourages us to let go of habitual patterns. We start to let go and release. Just as we do in yoga, with the breath on the ball we soften, sink and let go.
