Slow Yin Recovery.
Long passive holds in a gently warmed room. The class your nervous system actually wants — and the one most members return to weekly without realising.
What the class feels like.
Yin is yoga slowed down to fascia time. We hold each shape for three to five minutes, supported by bolsters, blocks and folded blankets. The room is warmed to 34°C — enough to soften connective tissue, not enough to demand sweat — and the lights stay low. There's usually a single instrument playing in the background; sometimes nothing at all.
You'll move through six to eight shapes total. The class closes with a guided ten-minute body scan and a quiet bell. Members are invited to stay on their mat for a few extra minutes after — most do.
- Six to eight passive shapes, each held 3–5 minutes
- Bolsters, blocks, blankets — provided & encouraged
- Guided ten-minute body scan to close
- Tea waiting in the lobby afterwards
Who this class is for.
Anyone whose week has used them up — runners, parents, surgeons, founders. People in the middle of a stressful sprint. Practitioners managing chronic tightness that vinyasa alone hasn't unwound. People who've been told "just try meditation" and found it impossible cold-turkey.
Yin pairs well with one of our heated flow classes earlier in the week. Many members book Vinyasa on Tuesday and Yin on Thursday — the contrast does something neither class does alone.
A small heads-up
- Stillness is the work — coming "warm but unworked" is normal
- If you have an active joint injury, tell the teacher before class
- The Yin & Sound Bath variant runs twice monthly with live bowls
Quick asks.
Will I sweat in this class?
Lightly. The 34°C is for fascia, not for cardio. You'll feel warm and pleasantly damp, not drenched.
I find stillness uncomfortable. Is this for me?
Probably yes — that's exactly the discomfort yin is built around. Start with our two shorter shapes and see how the third feels.
Can I bring my own bolster?
You can, but ours are heavy buckwheat-filled and very good. Most members try them once and stop bringing their own.
Slow down for an hour.
Tuesday & Thursday evenings, Sunday mornings. Yin & Sound Bath every other Saturday afternoon.
