— Yin & Restorative Yoga

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin yoga is a contemplative, calming practice, suitable for all levels. In this practice, we use passive stretches with longer holds for 3 to 5 minutes or longer. This helps us to nourish the deeper tissues in the body, such as the connective tissues, bones, fascia, joints, ligaments, and meridians.

Based on the Taoist concept of yin and yang, this practice works energetically to improve the flow of chi (energy) through the body’s Chinese medicine meridians. Because these meridians run directly through our connective tissue, improving this flow supports your organ health, immunity, and emotional well-being.

What is Restorative Yoga?

This class offers fully supported restorative postures to promote deep relaxation and active regulation of the nervous system. Incredibly nourishing and restful, you will release and unwind deep layers of tension in your body while calming and soothing your mind. It is entirely suitable for everyone, from absolute beginners through to advanced students.

Why It’s Safe

There is zero standing, zero balancing, and absolutely no straining. We use an abundance of premium props—bolsters, blocks, and blankets—to fully support your body, making it a profoundly therapeutic, safe, and welcoming practice for those recovering from trauma, burnout, or chronic pain.
