Yin yoga is a quiet contemplative practice.
Yin yoga works deeply into all layers of our body with passive, longer-held and often restorative postures closer to the earth. It targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body, as well as gives a still platform to watch the narratives of mind play out. Practitioners often experience moments of deep insight, and emotional release, easeful surrender. Soft, gentle, and calm, ( on a physical note,) the practice of yin yoga serves as a contrast to the frantic yang world we occupy.
Our modules
Beyond recalibrating your nervous system in the rolling lush hills of the Algarve, we have curated a poetic itinerary, fertile in opportunities for introspective, transformation, and growth. Along side immersion in nature, you have the platform to immerse in yourSELF.
