Floor and Wall Yin Yoga sessions are breath-led, floor-based sessions, using the wall for support, offered at a slower pace, modified to individual needs and abilities on any day. A wonderful practice for every 'body.'
A time to invite ourselves to let go of how we may think we are supposed to look, feel, move, and be. A time to simply connect with our breath and body, to connect with our true selves that are sometimes buried underneath layers of protection gathered throughout our lives to help us feel safe.
Floor and Wall Yin sessions are a grounding and therapeutic practice. This will be a wonderful session to lead us into the busier summer months—feeling centered and balanced with an inner knowing of what is best practice for ourselves in all aspects of our lives.
Inviting a softer practice while supporting our joints, the practice will offer gentle movements to develop mobility while releasing tension and tightness—encouraging a more somatic style of yoga, with gentle movements that support our nervous system to create new muscular habits. This invites a more conscious focus on the internal experience of the movements, rather than the external appearance or result of the movement.
Then easing into supportive restorative postures using a range of props—blocks, blankets, and bolsters. Each posture has its own specific beneficial effects on different parts of the physical and subtle bodies. When posture work is combined with the conscious direction of the breath and awareness, our bodies relax and release even deeper, while quieting the mind and emotions.
Breath work practices are offered to develop and support healthy breathing, which improves our posture, emotional, and mental well-being. When the quality of the breath improves, it helps to relieve stress and improve circulation, balance our heart rate, sleeping patterns often get better, and feelings of fatigue will lessen, improving our overall vitality.
Each class concludes with a relaxation, which is an opportunity for the body and mind to rest and rejuvenate. A deeply nurturing and healing class for every 'body' to rebalance, restore, and revitalize on all levels: physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Bring along a yoga mat, cushions, blankets, and bolsters if you have them—there will be some available on the day too.
