Yin Yoga Course (Yin Yoga as a personal practice)

Register for this 5 week in-person course 

In this course, we will begin with the basic concepts of Yin poses and progress to a themed practice. This course will give you a full Yin yoga experience and equip you to incorporate Yin postures into your day-to-day life.

Yin yoga is a more relaxed, passive style of yoga that involves holding poses for longer durations and increasing your inner awareness. It provides a meditative stretching of the body that is cooling, grounding, and nurturing.

Each class runs for 90 minutes including both theory and practice. The course is suitable for both beginners and experienced yogis.
