Yin yoga uses deep stretches and meditative techniques to enhance mobility and calm the mind.
Stretch & Soothe
Unlike dynamic yoga styles, yin invites you to soften into supported poses for several minutes, allowing your body's connective tissues (tendons, ligaments and fascia) to release tension enhancing mobility and flexibility. For support during the holds, the use of meditative and breath techniques help calm the mind and build resilience.
Hi, I'm Adrianne
After practicing yoga for several years in 2020 I took a 250-hour Vinyasa Teacher Trainer Certificate with Aura Wellness Center. Since then I've added specializations in Yin Yoga, Prenatal Yoga and Yoga Nidra (conscious sleep) to my repertoire.
As a mama to a rambunctious toddler, I crave deep rest and believe we don't honor this as much as we should, so my aim is to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere to encourage deep relaxation.
The more I learn about Yoga, the deeper I fall in love. So I'm here to share with you this modern style of yoga practice that retains deep philosophical roots from both Indian Yogic philosophy and Taoism.
My love of yin yoga blossomed throughout my pregnancy as I found it both challenging and restorative.
Yin Benefits
Our modern lifestyles tend to enhance yang (active) energy which is incredibly valuable for productivity, however to prevent our busy schedules from becoming hectic we must find balance. Yin yoga invites us to find that balance.
Yin Yoga was designed to:
- Support overall joint health
- Enhance joint range of motion
- Support the health and elasticity of our connective tissues (tendons, ligaments, fascia)
- Balance yin and yang energies within our bodies
- Connect our physical body to our mental and emotional bodies
- Reduce stress and anxiety by calming the flight or fight response
- Build emotional awareness
- Release our emotions and stagnant energy that's trapped and being held in the body
Yin yoga is ideal if you're new to yoga. Unlike fast-paced styles, yin invites you to slow down and listen to your body. No flexibility required, no fancy poses, no pressure to "keep up."
In my beginner-friendly classes in Nelson, I guide you through each pose step-by-step. We use plenty of props (all provided), and I offer modifications so everyone feels comfortable. Many students tell me they feel so relaxed afterwards, they wish they'd discovered yin yoga sooner!
