What is it about

Find your edge (the point of a posture where you feel mild, moderate amounts of stress in the targeted body part – without going as deep as you can) through inward exploration in this guided full-body Yin Yoga workshop.

Throughout the practice, targeted release of tense muscle fascia will promote and stimulate deep relaxation, while simultaneously expanding understanding of the yin and yang nature of your Yoga practice.

What are the benefits?

•  Deep relaxation and opening of the body as we stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system through specially curated Yin asanas, accompanied by calming aromas and soothing sounds.
• Release of tension in muscle fascia to help alleviate soreness and enhance range of motion.
• Remove blockages of energetic pathways within the body.
• Activation of targeted meridians within the body to elevate positive mood, alleviate stress and anxiety, and promote cultivation of self-awareness.
• Discover new Yin practices to complement your Yang practice
