The sequence is always the same and the teacher doesn't demonstrate but will talk you though the flow as part of a moving meditation, listening to these cues forces the practitioner to stop thinking and to be in the moment. The sequence and structure of the class is always the same each time. Starting with warming up the spine, legs and joints then going in to the standing sequence and then the floor sequence. By doing these yoga poses, one can exercise and invigorate all of the body by stimulating its glands, nerves, and organs and by improving circulation of oxygen throughout the body.

Yang and Yin

​

Yang and Yin yoga is a practice that balances the slow-paced Yin yoga with the traditional Yang yoga (Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa).  Yin a feminine, passive, cooling energy and yang a masculine, dynamic, warming energy. The two complement each other and one cannot exist without the other, the Yin/Yang yoga practice uses both types of yoga to provide both physical and spiritual balance.

Yang yoga is the more active moving poses that warm the body and stretch and strengthen the muscles.Yin yoga, the poses are more passive, held for a long period of time to target the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, rather than focus on the muscles. By combining the two styles of yoga, Yang/Yin yoga improves energy and fitness while promoting relaxation and healing.

​

Yin Yoga

​

The term “yin yoga” comes from the Taoist tradition. Yin is about finding stillness and cooling the body. The practice usually consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body - the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues. The poses are held for up to five minutes, sometimes longer. Working deeper in to the muscles themselves and with the ligaments and tendons around the joints. It also works with quieting the mind. As the body is more still while holding the postures the mind can start wonder and the practice uses the breath more so then other forms of yoga to quieten the mind.

Yoga Nidra
