Yin & Nidra are coming to Belleek

Join experienced yoga instructor Dr. Anne Monaghan for four calming, grounding Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra sessions to help you reconnect with your body, release deep‑held tension, and support your long‑term physical and mental wellbeing. With her compassionate, accessible teaching style, Anne creates a welcoming space for total beginners and seasoned yogis alike.
Yin Yoga is a gentle, floor‑based practice that works on the fascia, joints, and connective tissues. Through longer-held postures and mindful breathing, participants experience improved flexibility, reduced stress, enhanced mobility, and a powerful sense of inner stillness. It is especially beneficial for those dealing with tight hips, lower‑back discomfort, stress, or anyone craving a slower, more introspective style of yoga.
Ann brings a wealth of experience to her teaching, drawing on years of practice and training to help people move with greater ease and awareness. Her workshops emphasise safety, comfort, and empowerment—guiding each participant to listen to their own body and honour its natural rhythms. Her approach is both nurturing and deeply knowledgeable, shaped by her passion for yoga’s ability to restore balance in busy lives.
During this workshop, you will:
• Learn the foundations of Yin Yoga, Yoga Nora and their unique health benefits
• Explore long-held poses that gently target deep connective tissues
• Improve flexibility, mobility, and joint health
• Understand how breath and stillness calm the nervous system
• Leave feeling lighter, centred, and deeply restored
The session begins with breathing practices followed by Yin Yoga where postures are held for several minutes at a time and mostly practiced close to the floor. Using props such as bolsters and blankets, the focus is on gently releasing tension in the connective tissues, improving joint mobility, and encouraging stillness. Breath awareness and quiet reflection are woven throughout, allowing the body to soften and the mind to slow.
This flows seamlessly into a guided Yoga Nidra (guided yogic sleep). Participants rest comfortably while being guided through a systematic relaxation, body awareness, breath, and visualisation. Yoga Nidra supports deep rest, emotional regulation, stress relief, and mental clarity, often leaving participants feeling restored, grounded, and deeply nourished.
The overall experience is slow, nurturing, and accessible, suitable for all levels, and ideal for anyone seeking rest, balance, and nervous-system reset.
If you’re seeking a practice that releases stress, supports the body, and nurtures emotional wellbeing, Ann’s Yin Yoga workshop is truly well worth it.
PLEASE NOTE - you will require a blanket, cushions and water as well as your yoga mat. Bolsters will be provided.
