Create time to slow down and release any stress with this gentle Yin Yoga class. Natasha from Butterfly Minds will guide you through a relaxing sequence of postures, close to or on the ground, to help you release any physical tension while becoming more present and connected to yourself. In a Yin Yoga class, poses are held for longer periods, allowing you to fully relax into the postures and experience a deep sense of stillness. Suitable for all levels, this class offers a meditative environment to reconnect with your body and breath, while gently increasing your range of motion. Whether you're new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, Yin Yoga provides the space to slow down, reflect, and restore balance in both body and mind.
