About Yin & Restorative Yoga

The essence of Yin and Restorative Yoga is surrender. To balance the heat-building, dynamic, strengthening "yang" side of a Vinyasa Flow or Ashtanga Vinyasa practice, Yin and Restorative Yoga focus on postures that release tension and lengthen the muscles by the means of supported passive holding.

In a Yin style, poses are held 3-10 minutes per side in order to release the fascia (the 3-D connective tissue).

The Restorative poses use many props (placed according to each individual body) and can be held for 10-15 minutes, but are essentially very similar to Yin.

As well as Yoga, the practice draws upon techniques from MFR (Myofascial Release) and Structural Bodywork, as well as the energetics of the Traditional Chinese Meridians and acupressure points.

The elasticity of our connective tissue diminishes with physical activity and aging, which makes Yin essential for injury prevention and joint health. Since a Yin Yoga practice often includes several long, seated forward bending postures, it also restores energy and calms the nervous system. Restorative practice initiates deep relaxation of the body, mind and spirit.

"The yin and restorative yoga courses that I took with Yulia have changed my life. 8 months ago I started yoga after 10 years of chronic back pain. Addicted to heavy pain killers that weren't working I had nothing to lose. I'm now doing 3 yoga classes a week. I have reduced my pain medication by 3/4. Pain is now reduced by 80%. I feel fit, strong, powerful and eternally grateful for the beautiful gift of yoga and for awakening the insight that was there inside me all along. Stay true to your mission you are changing the world"

— Kim

The Earth Element

This immersion is dedicated to the Earth Element -- the meridians of Spleen and Stomach and the corresponding myofascial structures.

The Earth is the centre of human existence literally and figuratively -- it is pivotal in our relationship with ourselves. This immersion offers explorations of the Earth element qualities using yin/restorative poses, breathing, mindfulness, and mantra.

Suitable at any time of the year, during transitions between seasons, or when you feel in need of some self-care.
