About the class
Yin yoga promotes the healthy flow of energy along the bodies meridian lines (energy channels), in a similar (but less extreme) way to accupuncture. This yin sequence is designed to encourage the flow of healthy heart chi, or energy, around the body. When heart chi/energy is balanced we feel full of vitality, able to enjoy healthy relationships and experience inner peace and harmony. When heart chi is out of balance we can feel sadness and joylessness.
Our bodies respond to the relaxing tones of the dilruba and the cello on a physiological level. Science shows relaxing ambient music can reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This reduces muscular tension in the body, and enables us to release and relax into the postures and into healing relaxation.
During the practice you will be guided into meditation and invited to drop into your heart consciousness. Allowing yourself this time and space often leads to insights into the self, and enables deep healing to take place.
