Compliment your yoga practice with a Yin workshop.
ï‚· Yin yoga is a quiet and simple practice, which encourages us to soften
and explore the sensations of the stretch/tension over a sustained period (4
to 5 mins) using the breath. We learn to be in the pose rather than striving to
achieve the pose.
ï‚· Yin yoga works deeply into our body. It targets the deepest tissues of the
body, our connective tissues — ligaments, joints, bones, and the
deep fascia networks of the body — rather than the muscles.
ï‚· Yin yoga teaches us about ‘our unique’ anatomy. Why does the pose feel
different on this side? Why do I feel stuck?-this could be due to your bones
rather than ‘tight muscles or tendons’.
ï‚· This workshop is suitable for beginners to advanced yogis.
TIME: 2pm to 4.30pm
WHERE: Tauranga Yoga Centre -173 Elizabeth St West

WHAT IS YIN YOGA?
Hatha Yoga refers to a series of physical asanas (or postures), combined with breath, designed to align your skin, muscles, and bones and to open the main channels of the body.
Hatha can also be translated as - ha meaning “sun” & "tha" meaning “moon.” This refers to the balance of masculine (Yang) aspects—active, hot, sun—and feminine (Yin) aspects—receptive, cool, moon—within all of us. It is a path toward creating balance and uniting opposites ie. Yin and Yang.
A Yin workshop is designed to help you to find, explore & sit in the quiet, cool depth of each asana (tha) -not to force or strive -but to learn to be, and use the breath alone to release the deep connective tissue layers within your body. This leads to a very deep meditative practice helping to calm the mind and can help to unlock some of the areas in the body/mind that feel ''stuck".
