Autumn Yin Yoga Workshop
Friday 17th April 2020
6.30pm – 8.30pm
with Kim Dixon
Our April Yin Yoga workshop will focus on balancing our energetic state to align with the demands of the season. Our poses will nourish the deeper connective tissues, rebalance energy levels, release fatigue and allow the comfort and healing of letting go.
In Yin Yoga we target our networks of connective tissues and go deeper than the superficial muscles. Poses are held for longer periods as we find stillness and apply gentle pressure to the fascia, creating space and freedom and reducing stiffness and soreness. Yin Yoga is passive yet challenging practice that is also deeply calming of the nervous system. It is the perfect complement to your weekly hatha and/or pilates practice and is suitable for everybody.

Winter Yin Yoga Workshop
Friday 3rd July, 2020
6.30pm – 8.30pm
with Kim Dixon
Winter is the most Yin of all seasons and during winter it is important for us to find the right balance between rest and movement. While our tendency can be to hibernate through winter with a doona, a good book or Netflix, this can lead to both physical and mental stagnation. It is important to maintain health and vitality during winter by continuing our yoga practice, nurturing the breath, stretching, and strengthening the body from the ‘Yinside’ out and releasing fascia to enhance full range of motion.
In winter, Yin sequences target the kidney and urinary bladder energy channels (qi), which are the longest energy channels in the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Kidney energy is known as the “Root of Life” and is regarded as the most important reservoir of essential energy in the body. Overwork, stress, and anger can deplete kidney energy which in turn lowers the immune system making us more vulnerable to winter colds and flus. Our poses will focus on harmonising these energies to boost immunity and restore vitality. When the kidney qi is balanced clarity of thinking returns, courage is enhanced, and will-power restored.
We will finish our Yin Yoga workshop with a powerful Yoga Nidra practice for deep relaxation with inner awareness. No previous experience in Yin Yoga or Yoga Nidra is required to attend this workshop, everyone is welcome.
