Do you want to know more about Yin Yoga and deepen your practice? Or perhaps what the purpose is of this practice and why we hold the poses for so long? Do you wonder how you can adjust your practice to be more effective for your body? And how we’re able to feel so relaxed after a practice?

What you will learn:

In a series of workshops, guided by Jonas Nathan, we will dive into the ‘what, how, and why of Yin Yoga’. Each workshop contains practice and theory, covering the different aspects of Yin Yoga. You will gain tools so that you can skillfully adapt your practice to your needs. These insights on what is happening in your practice, allows you to tap into the innate wisdom of your body.

The Physical Body and Yin

In this first workshop, we will be working on the physical aspect of the practice. We will explore how these long-held stretches target the deeper layers of connective tissue (fascia). Fascia is literally everywhere in the body and it connects and communicates information and energy. After this first workshop, you will see why this fascia is so important in a yin practice and how this affects your emotional and mental well-being.

The Functional Approach

In this second workshop, we will discuss the basics of the ‘functional approach’. With Yin Yoga, we are not focused on how the pose looks, but rather on how it feels. Often we need to adapt or adjust the pose to feel the right stretch. The same pose can look totally different on your body than on another body. You will get an understanding of this approach so you can find more depth in your practice.

The Six Archetypal Poses

This third workshop will cover the six archetypal Yin Yoga poses. Nearly every pose will fit into one of these six categories. Every archetype targets a different part of your body (target area). We'll discuss the most important target areas of your body. When you start to learn about these archetypes, it makes it a lot easier to create a practice that is most effective for your body.

The Benefits of Yin

This last workshop will be about why Yin Yoga is practised and what benefits we gain from it. Even after practising only a few poses, you can feel the changes happening in your body and mind. After practice, you will leave your mat with a calm and content feeling. All the external stress factors are still there, but something within you has changed. We will discuss the chi and rebound and how it allows us to shift into our being.

The sessions can be booked separately (€30 p/session) or as a complete course (€100). You can book your spot through Delight Yoga.
