Yin & Yoga Nidra - A Space for Embodied Rest
This is not about achieving shapes or “doing” yoga well. This is a space to soften out of effort… and come back into relationship with your body.
In this unique Yin Yoga experience, we invite you into a practice of embodiment and deep rest a slow, meditative, floor-based practice supported with bolsters, blankets, and space to truly arrive. There is no up or down, no right or wrong way to be here.
Rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Yin Yoga works with the body’s energy, or Qi, supporting balance through the meridian lines and the natural rhythms of the seasons. Long-held, supported postures gently invite attention into the deeper layers of the body, fascia, joints, and connective tissues — offering a nourishing counterbalance to the pace of everyday life.
This is a practice of listening rather than pushing.
You are invited to move at your own pace, with choice and curiosity, noticing sensations, softening where you can, and honouring what is true for you in each moment.
We continue to weave in the therapeutic use of essential oils, carefully chosen to complement the seasonal themes and support emotional and energetic balance. The subtle presence of these oils can deepen your experience of rest, helping the body soften and the mind settle.
Each session closes with Yoga Nidra, a guided rest practice that supports deep integration, allowing the body to restore, the nervous system to settle, and awareness to gently expand.
Whether you are new to yoga or have been practising for years, you are warmly welcome here. Come as you are, bring your favourite blanket or pillow if you wish, and allow yourself to be held in a space of rest, presence, and community.
Join us monthly for this deeply nourishing practice, a space to reconnect, restore, and return to yourself. Check our schedule for upcoming events and reserve your spot today.
