Self-Care Sunday 
Yin Workshop

The objectives of this workshop are to:

​

• Release tension in the body via a sequence of long-held, floor-based postures (up to 5 minutes).  We will use props (including bricks, blankets and straps) to find the unique level of support required for you to get your best stretch

• To supplement the physical postures, we will work with tennis balls to release muscular and myofascial tension - think of this as an opportunity for some self massage!

• Following the autumn-themed yin sequence, we will snuggle up and settle into a Yoga Nidra practice, a form of yogic sleep.  The goal is to cultivate a deep state of physical and emotional relaxation.

• Using yin yoga philosophy as our lens, we will reflect on the importance of rest to balance out the fast pace of our hectic day-to-day lives.

​

​

Props we'll be using include:

​

• Yoga blocks

• Bolster

• Strap

• Blankets

• Tennis balls (or apples/potatoes, if you're joining from home)

​

If you're joining the workshop from home and don't have these props to hand, you can get creative with whatever materials you have available.  See our blog on building a home practice for ideas about how you can substitute props.

About Rebecca:

​

​

Rebecca's goal is to empower students, both physically and mentally, via their yoga practice. She is a firm believer that if you can breathe, you can practice yoga. She encourages yogis to let go of the need to be 'perfect' in favour of developing a compassionate practice that respects and nourishes the body – and the South Asian roots of the yoga teachings and traditions – in an authentic and accessible way.

​

She qualified as a Lumi yoga teacher and discovered that the wonderful "yang" of vinyasa flow can be balanced with a calmer, restorative "yin" practice. She is passionate about the power of yin practice and the benefits it can bring.
