Highlights:
Experience Yin Yoga Therapy®
Our mission is to spread the love for yin globally while creating high industry standards. No doubt ‘yin is in’ and with it comes a huge amount of unskilled and untrained people providing yin yoga classes. And while these classes often can be beautiful offerings and might be ‘yin’ in their nature, very often they are not what we consider ‘yin yoga’ in the yoga sphere.
The yin yoga practice according to the principles and components, following the foundations laid out originally by Paul Grilley, Sarah Powers, Bernie Clarke are defined.
The consideration of an individual skeletal structure, functional alignment and working with ‘yin tissue’ not only stretch but also strengthen them requires quite some ‘know how’.
Addressing the physical benefits as well as the energetic layer when working with the Taoist philosophy, the meridians and chi flow need serious study.
Transforming a yin yoga class into a in yoga healing experience needs skill, practice and talent.
And we are here for it and want to offer you the opportunity to explore these things with us to help us spread the word and love of Yin.
