Release through stillness.

Yin Yoga, meditation classes, and events designed to guide you deep within; into the unseen and long-forgotten parts of yourself.

Through gentle, mindful movement and meditation, we create space for healing, growth, and self-discovery. These sessions offer an opportunity to slow down, surrender, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. By carving out time to go within, we invite stillness and presence, allowing you to release tension, unearth emotions, and restore balance on a physical, emotional, and energetic level.

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin Yoga is a slow, mindful practice that focuses on holding postures for longer periods, typically 3-10 minutes, to deeply stretch and relax the body. Unlike more dynamic styles of yoga, Yin Yoga targets the deeper connective tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia, rather than just the muscles. It encourages stillness, allowing you to cultivate patience, presence, and introspection. This practice is especially beneficial for releasing tension, calming the mind, and restoring balance within the body and spirit. It’s a space where you can gently soften, tune into your body, and reconnect with your inner self.

Classes

  • Our Yin Yoga classes offer a peaceful opportunity to pause and reconnect with yourself. Available in 60-minute or 90-minute sessions, these classes provide a gentle space for deep introspection and release. Through mindful poses held for longer periods, you’ll cultivate stillness, restore balance, and create space for healing—both physically and emotionally. Take time to slow down, listen within, and return to something deeper.

  • Yin events are a unique 2-hour experience combining Yin Yoga, guided pranayama, journaling, and a sacred ritual like a cacao ceremony. Each session will have a different theme, designed to help you release what no longer serves you, while inviting in new intentions and energies for the next chapter of your life. With the gentle flow of Yin poses, a reflective journaling practice, and the power of ceremony, this event offers a safe space for deep introspection, healing, and renewal. Whether you're seeking clarity, emotional release, or simply a moment of stillness, these events create a nurturing environment for growth and transformation.

  • Explore a variety of mindfulness practices through our 30 or 45-minute meditation sessions. These classes offer a mix of both passive and active meditations, including Loving Kindness, Dancing Meditation, Walking Meditation, Visualisations, Humming Bee, and Gazing Meditations. Whether you’re new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, these sessions provide an opportunity to discover different forms of mindfulness that support relaxation, emotional balance, and self-awareness. Each class offers a unique experience designed to help you connect with your inner peace and cultivate a sense of presence.

“In each of the sessions I create, the focus is on providing a space for deep introspection and release. The slow, mindful nature of Yin Yoga and meditation encourages a deeper connection to your inner self, where long-held emotions and tensions may naturally surface. It is not uncommon for repressed emotions to arise during these sessions, and it is a vital part of the healing process. The space is a safe and nurturing environment where you can allow these emotions to come up and out without judgment. Through mindfulness and gentle presence, you will be supported in releasing what no longer serves you, creating space for deeper peace and clarity within.”

 FAQs

  • Yin Yoga is quite different from more dynamic styles of yoga, such as Vinyasa or Hatha. While other types of yoga focus on flowing movements, strengthening, and stretching the muscles, Yin Yoga targets the deep connective tissues, like ligaments, tendons, and fascia, through passive, long-held postures.

    In Yin Yoga, poses are typically held for 3 to 10 minutes, allowing the body to relax deeply and release tension over time. This slower-paced approach helps cultivate stillness and mindfulness, providing a sense of relaxation and balance. It's more about surrendering into the pose and allowing gravity to do the work, as opposed to using muscle engagement or movement to deepen a stretch.

    Yin Yoga is deeply restorative and meditative, encouraging a deeper connection to the body and mind, which sets it apart from more active, muscle-focused yoga practices.

  • For your comfort and to support your practice, please bring the following:

    • Yoga Mat – To provide a stable foundation for your practice.

    • Warm Clothing – Since Yin Yoga can be a slower practice, it’s important to keep warm as you hold the postures.

    • Warm Socks – To help keep your body warm and grounded during the longer holds.

    • Blanket – For added comfort and warmth during longer poses.

    • Boulster or Old Towel – A boulster is ideal for support, but if you don’t have one, an old towel works just as well, rolled up for cushioning and comfort.

    This will help you fully relax and get the most out of your experience.

  • Absolutely! Yin Yoga is a gentle practice that focuses on slow, deep stretches and long-held postures, making it accessible to all levels, including beginners. The emphasis on mindfulness and breath helps you tune into your body’s needs and limits. Whether you’re new to yoga or have been practicing for years, Yin Yoga offers a space to explore flexibility, release tension, and cultivate inner stillness at your own pace.

    You'll always be guided to listen to your body and modify postures to suit your comfort level. No prior experience needed!

  • If you’re new to Yin Yoga, it’s recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before beginning, especially during pregnancy. Yin Yoga involves long-held postures that may not be suitable for everyone during pregnancy, particularly if you're in your first trimester. As your pregnancy progresses, modifications are necessary to ensure comfort and safety.

    If you are an experienced Yin practitioner and have been practicing regularly before pregnancy, you may continue with gentle modifications after consulting your doctor. Be mindful of which side you lie on during poses; avoid lying flat on your back after the first trimester, as this can compress the vena cava and affect circulation.

    Always listen to your body and modify the practice as needed. If in doubt, seek guidance from a prenatal yoga teacher or healthcare provider.

  • No, you do not need to be flexible to practice Yin Yoga. Yin Yoga is about finding stillness in the postures and working with your body as it is, rather than pushing it into deeper stretches. The focus is on creating space and releasing tension, not on achieving a specific level of flexibility.

    Yin Yoga is accessible to everyone, regardless of flexibility, and modifications can always be made to suit your unique body. It's about honouring where you are in the moment and allowing your body to gently open and relax over time.

In stillness, healing finds movement.
