We welcome you again this November Full Moon to a soothing, releasing and deepening Yin Yoga & Meditation Workshop with Benedicte Alice Kapur, Monday 11th November, 8:15 pm to 9:30 pm

In our busy, modern lives, the dynamic Yang energy, associated with the Sun, often overcomes our everyday lives. Yet our yoga practice, just like our bodies and our lives, yearns to find balance. We need the restful energy of Yin, which is associated with he Moon and is also tranquil and introverted, here we can find the necessary counter-balance to dynamic Yang activity and practice.

Yin Yoga is a long slow practice. It assists with deepening your postures and encourages an understanding of meditation and stillness through yoga. Yin yoga involves different poses typically held for 3-5minutes, accessing deeper layers of the body and introspection into your inner self.

This is a perfect practice for letting go, breathing through sensations, and allowing powerful transformation and healing to take place, both in body and mind. Yin Yoga is at its most powerful during the Full Moon.
