YIN Yoga is an approach to Yoga practice that attempts to create deep quiet and space in both body and mind.

With a focus on fascial, ligament and joint release, YIN loads rather than stretches, relaxes and releases rather than activating. Fewer Asana are held for longer periods with attention on awareness, presence and breath. Passive Asana placements use support props to encourage flow along energy lines governing organ pairs according to Meridian theory principals.

With modern lifestyles that seek more and more physical and emotional satisfaction, YIN instead asks us to reduce in order to nourish, to release rather than accumulate, to do less and pay more attention, to look inwards rather than seek outwards.

Excited to be hosting Metta Breathwork - A Journey into the Heart a 2.5 hr workshop on Sun 19 April
with Sri Ganesh and Maliya (Janesh and Malin are returning to the Shala after last years’ amazing workshop on Art of Love) a synthesis of Ayurvedic wisdom, conscious breathing, and the gentle power of self-love.

Rooted in the principle of metta, loving-kindness, this practice invites you to meet yourself exactly where you are. Each breath becomes an act of compassion, a bridge between the mind and the body, and a reminder that love itself is the most healing medicine.

The Shala continues to hold space during the holiday season.

Moments of warmth and joy can often exist right beside overstimulation and fatigue.

Physiologically, this tug-of-war shows up as a constant negotiation between your sympathetic (“go”) and parasympathetic (“rest”) nervous systems.

Left unchecked, that push-pull can keep the body in low-grade stress mode, depleting energy, digestion, and sleep over time.

Your yoga practice offers ways to rebalance both body and brain.

🫀 Pause between moments: A single full exhale can reset heart rate variability, a marker of stress resilience.

🧠 Anchor attention to sensation: Tuning into breath or subtle movement reengages interoceptive pathways that regulate emotional response.

Even ten mindful minutes a day can change how you experience the holidays, from survival mode to steady presence.

Join Noeline Clarke for the last Rest & Digest for 2025.
A therapeutic practice to nurture and offer tenderness.
In support of you, while supporting us.
