Yin & Restore is not a fitness class but a therapeutic practice that can elevate stress, anxiety, depression and improves the overall well-being of a person.
Yin Yoga is based on TCM Meridian Theory and is working on subtle energy body and connective tissue: fascia, ligaments and tendons. Yin Yoga is a slow pace practice, that alleviates pain and tension and is a practice of holding a pose for an extended period of time, 3-5 minutes, accessing deeper layers of connective tissues.
Using elements of Mindfulness and Conscious Breathing (Pranayama) this practice also teaches you to sit with and observe uncomfortable emotions, thoughts or physical sensations present in the body. Session finishes with a guided meditation and head or shoulder massage.
Great practice in the evening allows to relax and unwind after the busy day, releasing the tension in the body and mind, whilst improving mobility and flexibility in the body.
