Candlelight Yin and Sound Healing With Carla
Event description
Stretch away stress and tension, relax the body, calm the mind, soothe and nourish the soul!
~~
Yin is a wonderful slow paced yoga asana practice that specifically targets deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It’s slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort.
The practice of yin yoga is based on ancient Chinese principles stating that there are pathways of energy running through our bodies and by stretching and deepening into poses, we’re opening up any blockages and releasing that energy to flow freely.
A yin yoga sequence has a very similar effect on our energies as an acupuncture treatment and by holding the various poses, a yin yoga sequence can help restore the healthy flow of energy in our bodies.
With Yin the goal isn’t to move through postures freely. Postures are usually held anywhere from two to seven minutes allowing access to the deeper tissues and areas that encompass a joint such as the hips, sacrum, shoulders and spine.
What to Expect!
Carla will guide you through a deep, releasing Yin sequence to ease away stress and tension, a calming yoga nidra and crystal bowl and gong sound healing to completely relax your body and calm your mind and kirtan to nourish and soothe the soul.
A delicious plant based sweets will be served including our famous slow brewed caffiene free, vegan friendly chai.
Please bring a blanket or towel and your own mat if you prefer.
