YIN YOGA
Yin yoga deals with subtler aspect of our being, letting us go deeper into ourselves. We are moving from the structured body to the energetic with the help of myofascial compartment and median channels to develop a functional, mindful approach to the practice.
YOGA NIDRA
Yoga nidra (yogic sleep) is a wonderful deep relaxation which supports your asana (physical yoga) practice helping you to find deep rest and stillness. It reduces daily stress by teaching pratyahara - turning attention inward for your own healing awareness, and dharana - concentration, meditation to deepen your yoga.
