Description

Join Hugo Sanchez, one of our resident instructors in this wonderfully calming practice and learn to improve relaxation and sleep. Join us in our Ringwood studio. Limited availability in-studio due to Covid protocols. Hugo Sanchez, one of our resident instructors, leads us in this wonderfully calming practice and learn to improve relaxation and sleep. We will discuss the energetics of Yin Yoga, followed by a Yin sequence of postures. Yin Yoga is a quieter, more meditative and introspective practice in which postures are held for 2-5 minutes. Holding postures allows us to observe the body's sensations and create a profound connection with the inner workings of the body. Yin benefits the deeper tissues of the body, such as fascia, ligaments, tendons, joints, and bones. This slow-paced practice improves joint flexibility and blood circulation, while helping to calm the parasympathetic nervous system (our rest-and-digest response). Once the Yin portion is completed, you lay back and Hugo will do all the work. You will experience Satyananda Nidra, and Journey Nidra, both deeply healing and relaxing practices. Yoga Nidra is an effective technique for deep relaxation that makes it possible to fully relax physically, mentally and emotionally. Thus stress can be released, and energetic blockages be broken. The inner consciousness remains clear and awake. A half-hour of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 2 to 3 hours of deep sleep. In addition, it can contribute to the healing process in certain health problems such as sleep disorders, chronic pain, burnout and migraine. If you are tired and craving energy, or if you're over-stimulated and have too much energy, perhaps your mind is overactive or your energy levels erratic; then this workshop is for you. This is equally beneficial for males and females on a physical, mental and emotional levels and is suitable for all levels of fitness and ages. After the workshop, you can expect to feel calmer, as we access a more relaxed parasympathetic nervous system; more grounded and at peace, as we sit with ourselves and get connected, and a lovely feeling of being stretched out in your own skin as fascia releases.
