Yin & Unwind

Giving your body permission to slow down, Yin & Unwind is a 10 day series of soft, slow pratices designed to help release tension and give your body space to settle. With me, Sophie and Ericka guiding you, expect soft yin stretches and just a touch touch of yang to balance things out. There's nothing to push or perfect in this series, just time to slow down and unwind.

Lesson 9Fluid balance yin with Ericka
Video53 min
As a result of this yin practice you will feel fluid and balanced. We begin with fluid yin style called Satya to increase the side to side gliding and sliding of the spine and connective tissues. We then move into finding balance by exploring opposites through supported side bending postures, exploring our edges and taking up all the space that is rightfully ours. Locked — subscribe to unlock
Lesson 10Yang to Yin with Sophie
Video61 min
This all levels class with Sophie begins with a brief grounding moment before building into a creative, yang style flow. Expect a full body sequence with an emphasis on balance, hip and glute strength, and steady, continuous movement. The yang section ends with some simple (and yummy) shoulder work to help ease neck tension and counter the effects of busy days and desk time. From there, the pace softens as we move into a short yin inspired sequence, with accessible but juicy shapes that gently target the deeper layers of fascia and invite the body to unwind. The class closes with a calming visualisation to help you settle, reset and reconnect with a sense of being supported and held.
