Pocket Yin - Air

Vijnanamaya kosha is the fourth of the five layers, or sheaths, of the body, which are collectively referred to as pancha kosha. Vijnanamaya kosha is the intellect/wisdom/knowledge sheath. Here we take in our Air element in a short sequence of long open holds. This element is one of the most subtle sheaths of the Kosha systems, here we can contemplate Viveka - our keen discernment between what is energising us and nourishing the self v when is destructive and perhaps draining for the self.

Pocket Yin - Water

Our water yin is all about our connection to the second layer of the body (pranamaya kosha) our sense of prana. On a cellular level prana drives all awareness through the body, it stimulates digestion, circulation, respiration and excretion. So you see prana is not just the breath but the electric current causing ALL movement within - it is truly magical and constantly flowing.

Earthed

An hour yin class to sink your body into the Earths’ core. Here we use quite a few props to support us in this moon practice. You will need a large blank wall to support you for a few long holds mid way through the class.

Let’s connect to the ground, and its great dense form, we’ll cultivate internal warmth, and slowly lubricate the joints to help you stay balanced and calm.

Hands to Hold

A nourishing vinyasa flow followed by a twisty yin practise to finish. Enjoy this accessible and stretch flow which moves through some nonlinear side body stretches, hip openers and gentle backbends. Here we look at how our hands hold the body, the ribs, the back of the skull and finally the heart. There is a sensitivity to be felt, a closeness of physical touch reminding us that we are indeed a part of Earth, rooted by touch and gravity's gentle pull.
