What is Yin Yoga
Yin is a wonderful slow paced yoga asana practice that specifically targets deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It’s slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort.
The practice of yin yoga is based on ancient Chinese principles stating that there are pathways of energy running through our bodies and by stretching and deepening into poses, we’re opening up any blockages and releasing that energy to flow freely.
A yin yoga sequence has a very similar effect on our energies as an acupuncture treatment and by holding the various poses, a yin yoga sequence can help restore the healthy flow of energy in our bodies.
With Yin the goal isn’t to move through postures freely. Postures are usually held anywhere from two to five minutes allowing access to the deeper tissues and areas that encompass a joint such as the hips, sacrum, shoulders and spine.

By the simple process of mantra meditation, our mind and heart are gradually purified of all kinds of stress, worry, misconceptions, anger, anxiety and deep-seated fears etc. We begin to experience an ever-deepening inner peace and happiness and increasing insights into life.

The evening is fully guided and includes breathing, mindfulness, mantra/kirtan meditation & some reflections from yoga texts. We end with some spiced Chai and Vegan treats :)

Be a part of an immersive and interactive mantra meditation journey and join many other like-minded people. Everyone is welcome, whether you regularly engage in meditation or never before we encourage you to come along for a special night of chanting.

We very much look forward to connecting with the local community.
Namaste!
Amit, Chantelle & Friends
