Yin Yoga and Sound Therapy

Over the years I've experienced many different kinds of yoga and have found the experience of one style can be very different from another. It's fair to say I love all kinds of yoga but my true passion lies with Yin Yoga. Yin Yoga is a slower-paced style of yoga with poses or asanas that are held for longer periods of time. Yin Yoga calms the mind and nervous system by gently stretching the joints and connective tissues, the circulation in the joints and flexibility is improved. The practice allows you to turn inwards and focus on the breath, and stillness within. Even though this style of yoga is passive, it can be quite challenging due to the duration of time you are holding a pose.

Sound Bowls and Gongs are sometimes used during my Yin Yoga classes. As you allow the waves of sound to wash over you your vibrational energy changes and the fluctuations in  your brain are smoothed.  Your consciousness is raised and you are carried to other realms of experience. Yin Yoga practice and Sound Therapy really opens the body, quietens the mind and allows healing to occur.
