The practice
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a quiet, slower-paced style of yoga. Most postures are practised seated or lying down and held for several minutes at a time, often with the support of props. Instead of moving from pose to pose, you settle into a shape, soften unnecessary effort, and notice what you feel.
Longer holds give you time to breathe, observe sensation and let the mind settle. Many people find Yin a welcome counterbalance to busy days and more active forms of exercise.
There is no “perfect” version of any posture. You are always invited to find a variation that feels right for your body that day.

What to Expect in an Online Session
Arrive & settle
We begin with a few minutes of breath awareness to help you arrive on your mat and set up your props.
Long, supported holds
Your instructor guides you through a small number of postures, offering variations and prop options as you go.
Rest & reflect
The session closes with a guided rest, giving your body and mind time to integrate the practice.
Sessions run live on our online meeting platform. Joining details are shared only after your booking is confirmed. Having your camera on is optional — it can help the instructor offer cues, but you choose what feels comfortable.

Who May Enjoy This Style of Practice
Curious beginners
No prior yoga experience is needed. The slower pace gives you time to understand each posture.
Busy minds
If your days feel rushed, Yin offers a dedicated space to pause, breathe and simply be still for a while.
Active people
Those who enjoy running, strength training or dynamic yoga may appreciate a quieter, complementary practice.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Yin Yoga is suitable for beginners, and every posture is offered with variations. Experienced practitioners are equally welcome.
Not quite. While some postures involve a gentle stretch, the emphasis is on relaxing into supported shapes, breathing and noticing sensation — not on how far you can go.
Household items work well: pillows or rolled blankets in place of a bolster, a firm cushion to sit on, and books in place of blocks.
Enough room to lie down with your arms outstretched — roughly the size of a yoga mat with a little space around it.
Please speak to your healthcare professional first. Some Yin postures are not suitable during pregnancy, so we recommend our Prenatal Yoga classes, which are specifically adapted for expectant mothers.
