Yin Yoga and Myofascial Release

Before starting yoga I had trained in dance and martial arts. I was used to gaining range of flexibility through long-held stretch practices. Often I could sit in the splits, looking to progress deeper, pushing heavily into pain and trying to ignore the signals from the body. This wasn’t healthy, not only can it be harmful, I was switching off pain signals and pleasure at the same time too. I would escape from my being in my body.

This is where Yin differs so greatly from a regular stretch class.
Yin taught me to stay present to my experience, not to distract myself. No TV, no social media, very little sounds. Just me, the sensations and the stillness.
Through practicing Yin Yoga, I learnt to sit in discomfort and be ok. I learnt to meditate and become mindful. I was able to unwind old habit patterns and re-write the internal dialogue.
It offered space for higher states of yogic practices.
~Zoe (Founder of MoY)

Yin has proven through research to help heal:
1. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
2. Muscle or tendon strains and ligament sprains
3. Fascia adhesions from scar tissue
4. Skeletal posture concerns
5. Brain fog and fatigue
6. Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI)
7. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

If any of these 7 conditions apply to you, come try it out…… you have nothing to lose.

We hold 2 Yin & Myofascial Release sessions per week
Saturday 13h
Thursday 20h

We like to show you modifications on different bodies. It’s important that yoga remains accessible by all, less about perfect aesthetics, more about the subtle sensations of your experience.

What is the point in pulling off an incredible pose but you are in serious joint pain? That’s not what we promote at MoY. We’d rather see you focussed and deeply connected over a superficial surface level posture. You only get one body, use it wisely.

Modify Asanas to your body each day, to listen to it, to make micro adjustments, less performance oriented more pain-free longevity.

Don’t skip it!!! Some people love, others try to avoid it. No matter which side you sit on, don’t skip savasana.

There’s incredible benefits to end your yoga practice with co**se pose.
* Lowers stress response post physical postures
* Cleanses cortisol and adrenaline
* Clears lactic acid build up
* Activates parasympathetic nervous system response
* Improves digestion
* Lowers blood pressure
* Helps the immune system
* Encourages Alpha and Theta brain waves (relaxed and dreamlike states)

In fact you can finish any physical exertion with savasana. After running, surfing, cycling… take a savasana for 5-10mins and take note how the body recovers.

Come meet us on the mat!

Who is this for?

“I still remember the year I did my 200hr training, it was when I started to sleep with my yoga mat rolled out on the floor next to my bed so it was the first thing I’d wake up to. I could just fall out of bed straight on to my mat every morning and guide myself through practice.
That’s when my whole relationship to yoga shifted, I trusted my self guidance and prioritised my physical, mental and spiritual health as the first thing I did each day. I became a yogi.” (Zoe)

Learning Sanskrit in as a yogic practitioner is important, just as important as learning Portuguese whilst living in Portugal.
Use your voice even if it’s not perfect, even if it comes out wrong, no one perfected anything without trying.

This week we are coupling this pose with Satya (Truthfulness), a yogic ethic to speak your truth, to overcome fears, to release expectation and be open to the truth of others. Keeping in mind someone will receive your truth, speak it with kindness, consideration and compassion… including on social media 🙏
