This evening class brings a mellow and contemplative end to your day with soft music. Yin Yoga is a powerful but passive practice designed to bring more flexibility and deeper relaxation to the body. Yin targets the connective tissues of the body - ligaments, tendons and fascia - to open and lengthen, using a series of poses which are held for a length of time. Yin Yoga is a great de-stessor and practitioners often notice a sense of peace and restfulness. This is a fantastic complementary practice for a more active style of Yoga or indeed any intense physical exercise. The use of props ensures accessibility for almost anyone and modifications are given depending on individual needs.

GSY is a revolutionary approach to reducing chronic pain and releasing tightly held muscles. Incorporating slow, gentle ?mindful? movements we reawaken the mind-body connection. Each pose, practice and session is cumulative, giving the body the tools it needs to permanently release habitual patterns of poor movement. We will address postural imbalances, gait and look inward for additional awareness of where we are holding and why we holding on to pain.
