Yin is one of the most delicious forms of yoga you can experience. It is a passive, non-ambitious practice, with long-held floor poses and deep attention to mindfulness and mindful breathing. It targets connective tissue and joints rather than muscles, gently encouraging a quiet internalised approach. We emerge from a yin practice feeling centred, balanced, whole and relaxed.

During the morning we’ll learn how developing a strong, mobile core can lead to naturally good alignment. To achieve this, we’ll explore navel radiation - an infant developmental movement pattern we all experienced as babies. Our aim will be to re-integrate the pattern, so how our poses can become more cohesive, limbs connecting into and out from centre, prana/breath travelling more readily through the body and a feeling of effortlessness.
