Yin yoga community class

A deep stretch - slow practice of mainly floor based postures. The perfect yin to yang creating the ultimate balance.
This is a community yoga class starting on the 16th April 2018 and running each Monday after. Class time is 8pm-9pm

This will be a mainly floor based practise of Yin yoga where the postures are held for extended periods and supported by props including bolsters, blocks, yoga straps, blankets. This is a slow and meditative practise. The joints and deep connective tissues of the body are carefully “stressed” to encourage space and nourishment (energy flows) to maintain healthy mobility of joints and ease the tension of tight muscles in the body created through high impact activity. Energy channels of the body are stimulated – working with the meridians of the body as per traditional Chinese medicine theory.

This practise is suitable for everyone and provides an excellent counter exercise to any high impact activity such as running, cycling, gym exercise as well as for practitioners of Hatha and Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar yoga styles.

Join this class to rest and release. Find balance.
This class begins Monday April 16th 2018

Yoga in Orpington with Yinny

My name is Wai-Yin .....Yinny is an adopted nickname. It is also easier to remember! I am founder of Sukha Yoga with Yinny and my aim is to share the practice of yoga and make it accessible to everyone. In addition to yoga, I am also a Sound Therapy practitioner offering Vibro acoustic massage using Tibetan singing bowls.

Sukha is the sanskrit word meaning happiness, pleasure, ease or bliss. The pleasure of sukha is an authentic state of happiness within a being rather than a transient pleasure. The benefits of yoga and sound therapy can take us some way on the journey to this place of ease in mind and in body.

I am a member of Yoga Alliance Professionals, Associate Teacher Level 2 and certified to 500 hours with over 1550 hours teaching experience since July 2013. I qualified to teach Yoga in May 2013 after graduating from my 200 hour TT with Yoga London in Ashtanga Vinyasa. In 2015 I qualified to teach Pregnancy yoga and completed my 300 hour certificate with The Yoga People, July 2018, opting to focus on the practice of Yin. The learning never ends. Yoga is a life practice, there is always room to learn, grow and share.

My yoga journey started in 2009 as an Iyengar student. The strong alignment focus of an Iyengar practise has influenced my style of teaching together with a love of strong flowing and creative sequencing which stems from a personal practice in Ashtanga, Jivamukti and Anusara styles of yoga.

My teaching style draws a students attention to awareness of safe , energetic alignment and strong focus on the breath. I encourage students to be aware of their own body, and to move intuitively in a way that feels good and safe for them as they practise. This cultivates a more internal focus and helps build the confidence to adapt and safely modify the posture in a way that benefits the individual. It opens the practise of connecting with the inner self and to greater awareness and respect for the body. Our bodies are unique, our experiences personal to us and this influences our movements.

Our yoga practise can change us in ways we do not expect. What we experience in life we bring to the mat and what we practise on the mat transforms us and we take that back out in to the world. In this sense, Yoga becomes a way of life, what we feel inside is reflected on the outside - the way we feel, interact and live.

The studio classes I teach are held at Present Health in Tunbridge Wells and Deva Yoga in Chislehurst. I also host my own local classes in Orpington which include a weekly Kula or community class on Monday which offers a Yin practise at a subsidised cost. Details are on my classes page. In addition to scheduled classes I teach regular workshops in the practise of Yin Yoga and foundational yoga courses for beginners.
