Yin by Candlelight: Enter into a new year



Join us for an evening of soft surrender to nourish the body and soul as we begin a new year. We'll move gently through a series of yin postures while cultivating a positive mindset that will aid us to step into a new year with an open heart.


Yin is predominantly a floor-based practice; using props to help us find supported stretches that are held for at least 3 minutes. By surrendering our muscles to the forces of gravity, we can begin to release tension that is stored in the intricate web of connective tissue that holds and supports our entire body. We'll be moving through a sequence of long held postures, using props and our intuition to support and guide our journey of discovery throughout the intricate web of our connective tissue.


Not only will this practice create a feeling of space and expansion in our physical body, but we can also begin to release some of our stored emotion and suffering. Yin allows us time to take in the whole picture, and to observe how our mental and emotional reactions can cause physical problems, and vice versa. This incredible approach to healing is based on the principles of yoga and of traditional Chinese medicine; both of which look at wellbeing from a holistic perspective; considering how all of our systems affect one another. In this session, we'll be softening around the heart space in a warm and nourishing environment while surrounded by the soft glow of candlelight. We will use meditation and visualisation to help us cultivate and integrate a personal mantra for the year ahead.


Join Claire for this special opportunity to softly transition into 2025.
