Yin Yoga

Yin yoga is a slow form of yoga that works to gently stretch the joints and fascia. It is also deeply relaxing, increasing energy flow throughout the body and calming the mind. Each pose is held for a number of minutes while your body softly “melts”, allowing the joints and fascia to gently release. Props such as bolsters, blocks and straps are provided to make the poses available even to those with tight muscles or restricted joints.

Each class will start with a short breathing (pranayama) session to settle the body and mind. We will then work through a series of poses, using the props to help you find a stretch that you can feel yet can sustain for a period of time. (This is called “finding your edge”.) We hold in the pose for 3-5 minutes, then rest in shavasana (corpse pose) for about 1 minute between poses to allow the body to recover. The class will end with a longer rest in shavasana, leaving you feeling completely relaxed.

Space is strictly limited to 12 per class. Book early to secure your place. You will need to bring your own mat, plus I recommend you bring a cosy blanket and a cushion.

Try a class:

As Yin Yoga is new to many people, you are welcome (subject to availability) to try a class before you sign up to a full term. The trial class costs €15. If you decide to continue with the term, the €15 will be deducted from the overall course fee.

Course fee:

Please note that payment for all courses is due at or before the first class. Your place cannot be held if payment has not been received. Payment is for the full term only – it is not possible to pay for a partial term or to pay-as-you-go. Course fees cannot be refunded if you miss a class for any reason and missed classes cannot be carried forward to a later term. However, subject to availability, missed classes can be made up by attending a different class within the same term.
