Are you tired?
Is your mind overactive or over-stimulated?
Are your energy levels erratic?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, YIN YOGA is for you…
Yin Yoga is a slow, grounding practice which focuses on working the deep connective tissues and joints of the body to improve well-being. Yin brings balance to your more active Yang style classes designed to work your muscles, build strength, stamina and flexibility.
A Yin yoga class is a perfect combination of:
Asana (a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body – the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine.
Pranayama (a system of breathing practices to control the breath, which is the source of our prana, or vital life force energy).
Meditation (a practice of focusing your mind on a particular object, thought or activity, to achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state.)
Yin Yoga is a nourishing practice. It will help you find stillness and time to build awareness and connect between your body, mind and breath. Reported benefits of a regular Yin yoga practice include reduced stress and anxiety, increased circulation, improved flexibility and improved joint mobility. Yin yoga helps to balance the internal organs and improves the flow of energy in the body. This energy is what we call “Prana”. It’s an effective way of calming and balancing the mind and body.
You can now join Uplifting Yoga Yin online classes on Friday nights from 6pm – 7pm.
