Yin Yoga
A slow, meditative practice using long-held passive postures to release deep tension and improve flexibility. This is the yoga class on its own, without the Reiki energy healing.
Benefits
- Postures are held for a long time, so it reaches the deep tension that faster classes skip.
- Yoga on its own, with no energy healing, if you simply want the stretch.
- Gradually improves flexibility, and the stillness makes it as much a meditation as a workout.
What to expect
Classes are levelled, so a first-timer and a regular can be in the same room. Wear something you can move in, bring water, and mention any injury to the teacher before you start. A private Yin Yoga session is paced entirely around you instead of a group.

Read the full articleWhat should I wear and bring to my first yoga class?
Clothes you can move and bend in, ideally a top that stays put and bottoms without a hard waistband. Yoga is done barefoot. Bring water; our cork mats, blocks, straps, knee pads and bolsters (if you need one) are all provided, so you do not need your own.
Read the full articleWhen should I arrive, and can I eat before class?
Arrive ten to fifteen minutes early for a first class. Avoid a full meal in the two hours before; something light an hour or two before is better than arriving on an empty stomach.
