Morning Yang Yoga practice begins with some meditation and pranayama to bring you into your body and to prepare us for the yoga practice. Yoga flow focuses on synchronising movement and breath, deliberate slow movements that help the muscles to relax whilst simultaneously releasing built up energy. Vanessa is a very experienced teacher so there will always be variations and modifications offered to those who need it.
Evening sessions we will slow down with a Yin Yoga class. Yin yoga works deeply into our body with passive, longer held poses. It targets the deepest tissue of the body, the connective tissues- ligaments, joints, bones and the deep fascia networks. Energetically Yin improves the energy flow enhancing the flow of chi to the organs and offers wonderful emotional and health benefits. It is the perfect compliment to the yoga flow (yang) class while it will assist in aiding a good nights sleep.
