Yin Immersion w/Eva

Yin yoga invites us to slow down & meditate on the physical sensation of stretch, as well as the arising phenomena of thoughts & feelings within the present. It's origins are rooted in the convergence of the Indian tradition of yoga with Chinese understandings of health & energy. While the Yang nature represents our active, external qualities of warmth & movement, the yin represents the internal, receptive, cool, soft & slow side we all need for balance. Yin yoga is very beneficial to anyone aspiring to improve flexibility, as the longer maintained postures help to release the tight networking of fascia (connective tissue) which weaves through the whole body. Beyond the physical, Yin works along energetic meridians & releases the subconscious emotions contained within our tissues. Through patience, softness & radical acceptance, Yin yoga is a transformational practice that creates freedom in the body & mind.

In this workshop, you'll learn the deeper mechanisms of yin yoga, including the physiological effects on our connective tissue networks and how yin yoga can support healthy mobility and tissue resilience. We will also discuss how to practice yin yoga safely, ensuring we are building a sustainable practice of soft stretching. We will also explore the mindfulness benefits of yin yoga, allowing us time, space and awareness to become present to our inner world and the energetic dimension of yin grounded in the rich heritage of Traditional Chinese Medicine which views the body as a microcosm of the universe. You'll step away from this workshop with a more expansive understanding and appreciation for this quiet but potent expression of yoga and learn ways to continue your practice, be that a self-practice, community classes, or the pathway to teaching yin yoga.
