Friday Yin Yoga 1.30pm @ YMCA, Harrow

A chilled-out, 75 minute Yin Yoga class for all levels, including complete beginners.

In Yin yoga, poses are all passive and floor based and we hold each stretch for on average 3-5 minutes, working deep into the joints and harder tissues in the body resulting in better circulation to the joints, ligaments, facia and even the bones.

Yin Yoga opens up the body removing blockages both physically and energetically by blending the 2 ancient practices of Chinese Medicine Meridian systems and Ayurvedic Medicine Yoga poses.

Yin yoga applies moderate stress to the tendons, fascia, ligaments & bones, in order to encourage circulation in the joints and improve flexibility.

So, as Yin Yoga goes deeper than simply targeting just the superficial muscles, this practice can create lasting structural change in the body. ​

Energetically, yin accesses the internal organs via the meridian lines for the body bringing fresh nourishment and vitality. Meridians are considered channels where Qi or Prana flows. Qi is the basic life force of the body.

The thought in Yin is that this brings about better organ health & vitality, stronger immunity & emotional well-being. ​

Yin is also a deeply meditative practice where we learn to let go of thinking and bring our mind deep inside the body to focus on sensation, aiding a journey of re embodiment that is healing on many levels.

Space is limited and these classes tend to fill up quickly so please don't delay if you're thinking of joining us.

This class is proceeded by a strengthening Hatha Yoga class at 12pm. Why not book into both and treat yourself to a regular Friday afternoon of self-care?

I look forward to welcoming you to the Dance Studio @ YMCA Roxeth Gate, Roxeth Hill, Harrow, HA2 OJN.
