Creating Space: A Yin Yoga and Self Massage Workshop 

This two-hour workshop combines yin yoga poses and self-massage techniques to create space in your body and calm your mind.

Our hectic lives are so often about needing to be somewhere, having to do something and trying to be somebody. Yin yoga affords us the opportunity to stop. During the workshop you’ll discover the numerous physical and mental benefits of relinquishing striving, controlling and aiming for a destination and instead of allowing, letting and surrendering in a pose.

The longer holds and slower pace of the class allows for the stretch to move beyond the muscles and into the connective tissue. Yin works in association with acupressure points from Chinese medicine. This practice is especially useful in easing stiffness and increasing flexibility.

You’ll learn self-massage and ball rolling techniques you can use at home. They are a useful way to continue the practice of releasing muscles and calming the nervous system.

All the poses are adaptable with the use of props, so the workshop is ideal for those new to yoga as well as seasoned yogis.

All props provided.

There will be time to enjoy a cuppa and cake (hopefully in the garden) after the workshop ends
