About this class
Prepare for bliss town. This Lunar Yin Yoga is seriously going to stretch out the body. Yin Yoga is all about long hold stretches. We hold each of the stretches during our class today for 3 minutes. The focus of the class is to breathe deeply and let go. To allow the tension in the body to melt into the Earth. Not only is Yin Yoga one of the best ways to create flexibility but this way of movement also stretches the joints, increasing the body’s bone density. Give yourself 30 minutes of deep breaths, delicious stretches and moon magic.
Alignment notes
One of the reasons we both love Yin Yoga so much is that the shape you make… is the shape you make. There really is no right or wrong. The most important thing to remember is that you can never go too deep but you can go too fast. Take your time getting into the postures, once you feel comfortable, then commit to your stillness. It’s normal for the body to feel quite vulnerable after a Yin class, this is why the rebounds are so important, don’t skip them, this is the magic!
