Dear yoga friends!
I would love to share a Yin yoga class with you. Happening this Sunday 21st of July from 11:00 – 12:15 @ de Nieuwe Sint Jansstraat 35.
Yin refers to the feminine energy within us, and it balances ‘Yang’, the masculine energy in all of us. Yin Yoga is a slow paced yoga style with asanas that are held for a more extended period between 2-7 minutes as compared to other styles. It helps the practitioner move from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system. This means that you move away from your fight or flight response towards relaxation.
In this class we will start with some movement just to awaken and loosen up the body (bring a blindfold if you feel more comfortable) to continue with a pranayama to calm the mind. Before we move into a sequence focused mainly on shoulders and hips. The postures can be described as stable, immobile with calm and deep stretches. It is a slower and more meditative form of yoga. It helps to turn inwards and feel the sensations in the body, both physically and mentally.
For this class we will use a lot of props. Most important is your yoga mat and comfortable clothes. Then we will also use two blocks, a belt and a blanket. If you have your own, please bring them and otherwise we have some extra to share.
After class there is the option to hang around for a cup of tea. I invite you to arrive even 15 minutes early to set up your space and props.
This class is suitable for all regardless of yoga experience, we welcome beginners and dedicated practitioners alike. The class is donation based, via cash or tikkie, and your donation supports the growth of our community. However, we encourage your participation even if donation is not possible for you right now. And please invite anybody that could benefit from a yoga practice to join this class.
I hope to see many of you on Sunday!
Namaste 🙏🏻
Christa 🧘🏼
