Yin & Nidra

Relax, meditate & restore

← Back to timetable

Look no further if you're looking for a yoga class that will leave you feeling revived and balanced. Yin 'n Nidra is a refreshing cocktail of our Yin yoga and Yoga Nidra classes – deliciously shaken and stirred together. Yin yoga creates a shift from being in the head to landing in the body, while Yoga Nidra refers to a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping; like that moment just before falling asleep. By serving them combined in one surprisingly pleasant mix, you'll experience the benefits of both in one relaxing yoga class.

This slow-paced yoga class kicks off with some classic Yin yoga to help you transition from thinking to feeling after a busy day. We focus on flexibility rather than strength, letting you slowly sink into your body by holding each separate yoga pose for about 5 minutes with the help of bolsters and blocks.

After some deep relaxation, you'll easily glide into the Yoga Nidra part of the class, where the body will rest deeply to restore, and the mind will rest in silence while being aware. Yoga Nidra has been around for a long, long time. It refers to a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like that moment just before falling asleep. The purpose of Yoga Nidra is to completely relax, which is different from meditation, where the goal is to focus.

Whether you've practiced yoga for years or are a newbie, this easy-going yoga class is open to all. After only 90 minutes, you'll leave as relaxed as coming home from a beach bum holiday.
