Yin & Nidra Evening
Friday 6 March 2026 : 7pm - 9pm
What is Yin yoga? The very slow and meditative practice of Yin yoga focuses on opening and stimulating the deeper connective tissues of the body allowing the release and free flow of old energy, offering space to turn inwards, tuning into both the depths of the mind and the physical sensations of the body. Yin is mostly floor based but can be adapted and is suitable for all bodies and all levels.
​
What is Nidra yoga? Powerful nidra, also known as ‘yogic sleep’ is an ancient tantric form of relaxation and welcomes complete and utter blissful calm for deep healing and rejuvenation.
