Monthly Yin Yoga with Erin
Autumn/ Winter dates 2024
December 27th (Winter special)
January 31st
Our monthly Yin workshop will dive into the dominant organs of the season in order to rebalance our whole being from a cellular level. Expect to let go of stress and float out feeling lighter, calmer and more mobile!
Yin yoga explores the Taoist philosophy of using asana practice, breath techniques and mental processes to restore balance in all three aspects of being – the body, mind and soul. Yin is a slow, deep practice where poses are held for long periods with the aim of improving flexibility and cultivating inner stillness. Yin focuses on stretching fascia, the connective tissue, and the energetic system that lies within the fascia of the body – the meridian lines. If disrupted, or if blockages occur within one or more of these networks the body does not function properly, Chi cannot flow, the organs won’t perform their function, and imbalances arise. When the meridians are clear and open, energy flows freely and all is well once more.
By nourishing our parasympathetic nervous system through this practice of Yin Yoga, we can begin to restore and revitalise our core vitality.
What to bring
Everything you need is here for you to borrow, but please bring a blanket for relaxation, and your own mat, blocks, belt and bolster if you have them.
About Erin:
'When I let go of what I am I become what I might be.' ~ Lao Tzu
Erin first came to yoga when an actor friend took her along to an early morning Mysore class before rehearsals for a stage play in 2009.
‘I remember walking out feeling clear-headed, calm but alive!’
She went on to explore a variety of Ashtanga-based styles, as well as Bikram and Power Yoga. After moving from Australia to London, Erin completed her teacher training, specialising in hot power vinyasa in early 2014. Since then, she has been teaching dynamic power flow classes for all levels across London and later, Hertfordshire. Also a qualified primary school teacher, Erin was quick to adapt her yoga teachings to children both in and out of the school setting.
In her continued search for balance and mindfulness in her own life, she discovered a great passion for practising and teaching the deeply restorative yin yoga and meditation.
Yoga is about people – it’s about connecting with yourself and those around you. It is a place where we can start to let go, to focus, to find balance and to challenge and explore the depths of our physical, mental and spiritual self. From this space, we can begin to walk through the world a little closer to our own truth.
