Yin Yoga - Homecoming (2 hrs)
starts Wednesday 12 october 2016 at 15:00
This program is taught in English.
Yin yoga often offers a way back "home", a possibility to reconnect with the inner stillness that is always here but gets covered up from time to time by whatever the day brings - difficult situations, relationships, judgments or self-limiting thoughts and beliefs. Yet, stillness is always here. Its presence is constant and undeniable. To tap into it requires a framework that allows us to practice acceptance, letting go and welcoming, and to move beyond the mind by reconnecting with the body and its many layers (physical, emotional, energetic...).
In this case, this framework will be offered by the long-held yin poses. In this workshop, I invite you on a journey home. We will start with some breathing and energy-mobilization exercises and then move onto the asanas - mainly focusing on the shoulders and the hips and then finish off with yoga nidra.
Throughout the journey, we will practice how to be present and navigate through the inner noise - the first thing most of us encounter when we place our body into long-held poses - allowing it to quiet down and move to the background as we are making our way towards the center.
No previous yin yoga or meditation practice is necessary. Everybody is welcome.

Style: Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a modern synthesis of Tao Yin and hatha yoga developed by Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers. In Yin yoga, floor postures are held for a long duration (3-5 minutes). On a physical level, it helps to increase the suppleness in the joints within our natural range of motion. While staying in the positions, we apply gentle pressure on the joints and relax the muscles around them. This way we affect the deep connective tissues and initiate the natural repair mechanism of the body. Energetically, Yin Yoga helps opening the body’s meridian system. It increases our vitality and harmonizes the energetic activity of the body. Go to the Yin yoga page.
