Yin Yoga is a practice that emphasizes long-held passive stretches that target the deeper connective tissues, including fascia, ligaments and and is of increasing value to practice as we age. By emphasizing long held passive stretches, yin yoga will help to stretch and lengthen these tissues while having a meditative quality. Yin yoga is based on Taoist understanding of Qi (or energy) and through these poses we are opening up blockages and releasing energy to flow freely. All poses are done in positions on the floor, and blocks and bolsters are liberally used and encouraged.
In this deeply nourishing class we are also cultivating mindfulness, helping us to come home to a deeper and richer aspect of ourselves. My aim is to both support the body, as well as the mind, the soul, and the nervous system. These classes are a wonderful remedy for our fast paced world, as it gives us the opportunity to slow down and find peace. Many people find that this class helps them to ease anxiety, helps with sleep disorders, relieves pain in the body, and more.
NOTE: Please bring a mat, a light to medium blanket for cover and as prop, and any props or bolsters you desire for extra supports. Here’s some important info on what to bring:

NOTE: Please bring a mat, a light to medium blanket for cover and as prop, and any props or bolsters you desire for extra supports. Here’s some important info on what to bring:
Please bring your own:
- yoga mat,
- a light to medium blanket or towel or two to use as an easy prop, for padding, and/or for cover during savasana (final resting pose),
- and any other props or bolsters you desire for extra supports (see below)
- Because I’m not a yoga studio, I don’t own extra blocks or bolsters, so in encourage you to have your own so that you can use for both in class, and for your own home practice and comfort. Please note, it’s not necessary to bring bolsters and blocks, so don’t worry if you can’t or just choose not to - a mat and blanket is recommended however.
- Please leave shoes outside of yoga studio door
- Any extra articles such as jackets, bags etc, can be left inside and in the back room of the studio so as not to overly clutter the yoga space. (Clear room, clear mind :) )
- Reminder to silence phones during class
I believe that our body archives all experiences that we weren’t able to safely process at the time, and yoga is a wonderful way to help release that held tension, stress and congested energy. Yoga opens us up to our natural health, vitality and joy - strengthening and awakening our body, mind and spirit!
About my yoga background:
Yoga has weaved its way in and out of my life since my early teens. After a back injury in my 30's I turned to yoga to help heal my body and in doing so I found that it also deeply nourished my mind and spirit. Finally, in 2011 I followed my long held dream and embarked on my training to become certified as a Yoga Teacher through Kavita Maharaj at Red Door Yoga.
Drawing from a training in classical Hatha, I integrate various styles of yoga with my main passion being informed by Insight Yin Yoga, learning much from Carly Forest.
My years of work as a Jin Shin Do® Acupressurist and Reiki Master also influence my understanding of the body, it’s energy systems, and how to work somatically with the bodymind. My teachings are trauma informed and respect the body/mind that you inhabit each time that you enter the class environment.
Yin Yoga is a superb practice to support healing and awakening for the body, mind and emotions.
