Saturday 21st June marks the Sunmer Solstice…
☀️ Celebrate the Summer Solstice with an Elemental Yin Yoga practice ☀️
Join me for a 1.5-hour Yin Yoga practice focusing on the Fire Element 🔥 - harmonising the fiery energy of summer with deep, grounding poses and connecting at the Solar Plexus - Manipura Chakra. Through meditative stillness, mindful breath and awareness, deep stretching, and embodied movement, we will work to cool the body, calm the mind, and restore energetic balance. The journey will be supported with beautiful sounds 🎶
As the sun reaches its highest point, we are invited to embrace the vibrant yang energy of the season—full of heat, movement, and expansion. But within that intensity lies the perfect moment to nurture the yin: stillness, surrender, and reflection.

☯️What is yin yoga?
Yin cultivates awareness and space in the mind and body through the release of connective tissue (including fascia, ligaments, tendons). It involves holding poses for longer periods (3-5 minutes) with the support of props such as blankets, blocks and bolsters. Poses are mostly floor based.
☮️What are the benefits of yin?
Yin yoga is a healing and meditative practice that allows one to find stillness amongst this fast paced Yang world. It can be so hard to slow down and we can often feel as though we are moving through life in an overstimulated, mindless and burnt out fashion. Yin yoga has huge benefits both physically and mentally - it improves flexibility and range of motion in the joints alongside rebalancing energy flow, nourishing the body, and calming the mind. The practice activates the parasympathetic 'rest and digest' nervous system which can reduce stress and inflammation in the body.
🙏Who is the class for - will it be it okay for me?
It is my aim for yoga to be inclusive and variations and guidance will be offered throughout. The beauty of yin is that you can take your time to find a position that feels okay for your mind and body to delve deeper, and find that sweet spot between effort and ease in your practice.
