This is a 75-min yin yoga class designed to work all areas of the body. The practice is accompanied by ambient background music with nature sounds. I am only giving minimal verbal instructions, giving space for the music to aid you in relaxing and letting go.
A brief introduction to yin:
- Postures are similar to some ‘yang’ asanas but held in a passive way over an extended period of time (usually between 3-5 mins).
- Keep the muscles in the targeted area relaxed. We are not working on the muscles, but on the connective tissue of the body (deeper fascial network, tendons, ligaments, bones, joints).
- In every posture find your edge (where you first feel a change in the tissue when coming into a posture), stay there in stillness (stillness of the body, the breath and the mind) and hold the posture for the whole duration.
- Use props only when needed. Yin yoga is not about being comfortable and relaxed. We are seeking to stress the body (the targeted areas); this involves discomfort. Only make use of props to help you feel the stress in the targeted area, let gravity do the rest.
The class is suitable for all levels of practitioners. Listen to your body carefully to decided how deep you want to go into a posture. Be gentle with yourself and give your body time to open up. Make the asanas work for you, use props where needed, make adjustments or come out of the posture if your body is telling you to do so.
See you on the mat my beautiful yoga friends.

Yoga means to me? 'coming home to yourself'
Self-sensitivity. Developing awareness and thereby a feeling for oneself - for the body, thoughts and emotions - recognising one´s own needs and giving them space.
Change of perspective. Instead of looking outwards, looking inwards - reviewing expectations (one´s own and those of others) - discovering what matters most in life.
Self-love. Accepting oneself - getting in touch with one´s own life-themes - developing a loving attitude towards oneself and others.
