We’ll be using props to help the body get into spaces of complete comfort so that you can be fully held and supported. The class will end with a guided self-esteem hypnotherapy session so that you’ll leave feeling the nurturing effects long after you step off the mat.
16.15 – 17.15: Yin Yoga + Yoga Nidra for Inner Harmony with Kitty
Join us for a gentle and nourishing session. Expect to go slow and to dive deeper into poses (using lots of props to keep nice and supported), long-held yin yoga poses target the deep connective tissues and help release tension both physically and emotionally. We’ll close with a Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) relaxation. This combination of yin yoga and yoga Nidra cultivates a sense of stillness, tranquillity, and inner harmony. This class is open to all levels.
