Yin is a passive form of yoga that is a perfect complement to the dynamic Yang styles like Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Rocket yoga. Poses are usually held for 3-5 minutes, but can be longer (20 minutes!). Not too be confused with Restorative where the aim is rest and relaxation, Yin is a deep stretch into the fascia/connective tissues that surround muscles and make up the ligaments in the joints - areas that aren't usually targeted much in other yoga practices.

There may be some discomfort, but we never want to move past that "edge" into pain, or worse - injury! Take the time to let you body ease or "melt" (as we like to say) into the pose.

Yin classes are offered at Yoga Yurtopia (New Barnet, London) on Thursday evenings at 830pm and Sunday mornings at 1130am - try us free! Register at www.yogayurtopia.com

Vinyasa flow yoga is probably the most common type of yoga you'll find at any yoga studio. Evolving from Hatha and Ashtanga yoga traditions, it is a dynamic practice linking the breath with movements between poses to keep the practice fluid.

This practice helps build strength and endurance, flexibility and fitness. The peaks and pauses during the practice are great for the heart - improving heart rate variability (an indicator of fitness and stress resilience) and balancing the autonomic nervous system (reducing and improving recovery from stress).

As with all yoga practices, it can be as gentle or as challenging as you like - it is Your practice after all!

Morning and evening vinyasa classes are offered in-studio and online at www.yogayurtopia.com - try us for free 🦄

In collaboration with Slavena of Moonchild Holistic Healing (https://www.moonchildholistichealing.com) and Laura of Laura Shakti Yoga (https://www.laurashaktiyoga.com), this will be a full day retreat (10 am to 6 pm) for body, mind, and soul. The morning starts with meditation and pranayama (breathwork), followed by yin/restorative yoga with a sound bath. Then we break for a lunch (included) where we can chat and get to know each other better. After lunch, we'll lead you through a cacao ceremony for setting intentions and opening your heart, followed by a beautiful sound healing, and finishing with sacred mantra chanting (kirtan). The kirtan is done through call and response singing...and usually dancing! It is said to be the easier, faster way to connect with your inner bliss and divine presence.

Weather permitting, the morning walking meditation and pranayama, and the lunch, will be held outside. Yoga/sound bath, sound meditation, and kirtan will be held in the yurt.

Refreshments will be available throughout the day and a vegan/vegetarian lunch will be provided. Please contact Johnny (hello@yogayurtopia) with any dietary restrictions or any other important information or requirements.

Full Schedule:

10:00-10:30 Arrival and tea

10:30-11:30 Pranayama and walking meditation

11:30-11:45 Break

11:45-13:45 Restorative yoga and Sound bath

13:45-15:00 Lunch

15:00-18:00 - Cacao, Sound healing, Kirtan

What an amazing morning in the yurt for our restorative sound journey. It was pouring rain, which only added to the beauty of the sound. So soothing and relaxing.

You know it's been a good restorative session by the aftermath - an explosion of props everywhere!

Can't wait to do it again!
