Ninety minutes of outdoor Yin, under the Mont Blanc
Sunday 27 September 2026. Meeting point at 10.45, practice from 11.00 to 12.30, tea together until around 13.00.
The practice
Ninety minutes of Yin yoga outdoors, in a private garden at 1,100 metres.
You enter a shape until you feel a deep but sustainable pull, and then you stay there for three or four minutes without adding anything. The work is done by time and gravity, together with the breath. When the exhale becomes longer than the inhale, the heart slows down. It is an automatic and measurable response, and it marks the shift from alert to recovery.
In Chinese medicine, late September belongs to Metal: the lungs, the chest, the breath, and everything that comes to an end. The session works on opening the chest and on the long exhale. This is a separate language from the physiology above, and it is used as such.
Led by Federica Masci, Yin yoga teacher and researcher in occupational and public health.
Who it is for
Open to everyone. No experience needed, and you do not need to be flexible. If you have a recent injury, surgery, pregnancy, or any medical guidance on movement, please tell me in the registration form so the practice can be adapted.
Language
The session is taught entirely in English. Key cues for entering and leaving the shapes are repeated in Italian when needed.
What to bring
Mat, blanket, cushion, socks, and one more warm layer than you think you need. When you stay still, the body cools down quickly. Hot tea is provided at the end. If you would like to bring something small to share after the practice, you are very welcome.
