The practice is accompanied by background music to help you relax into the postures. I am only giving minimal verbal instructions, so that you can really focus in on yourself and enjoy the music. 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. 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.

'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.
