Candlelight Yin Yoga with Gong

every MONDAY and friday at 6pm

 Ong Kar will be leading us into a deep and meditative experience of Yin Yoga. The yin style involves surrendering into poses for longer periods of time in order to let go of tensions stored in the deeper connective tissues, and calm the nervous system. Yin is informed by Chinese Daoist practices, so poses strengthen underlying meridian channels throughout the body. Candlelight Yin Yoga is a peaceful way to end your day. This practice will be accompanied with candlelight, healing music, and extended gong for deeper relaxation. Bring your own favourite bolster, blanket or yoga block to get the most out of this class
