Stillness.
Yin Yoga.
In Yin yoga, postures are held for a longer periods time, often 3 to 5 minutes and sometimes longer. Meeting the intensity of a stretch with less mental resistance helps the practitioner to foster a deep sense of steadiness and connection to what lies beneath the busy narratives of the mind. Many props are used in Yin yoga to aid in finding the sweet spot ,that is the balance between the edge of the stretch and the ability to completely let go.
Yin Yoga is also largely influenced by daoism and chinese five element theory. Therefore principles of mindfulness and meridian theory are often weaved through this class to inspire students to foster more intimate connections with their mind, body and spirit.
Mindfullness Meditation.
Mindfulness meditation helps us to pay attention and observe the inner workings of our mind and bodies, whilst simultaneously un-hooking from the inner narratives and judgements that can plague the mind. It can also help us to cultivate non-judgement and acceptance of the present experience, and slow down a racing mind. Meditation often helps in creating space and perspective around that which initially feels overwhelming and overstimulating.
There are many focusses in mindfulness meditation, whether it be thoughts, physical sensations in the body or emotions; making it a beautiful tool in supporting every day life and help bring calm and space to whatever tend to rock the boat.
