Yin Yoga For Stress & Digestion

The link between stress, inflammation and digestive issues is very well established. Yet how often do we really treat our digestive issues at the root cause? Instead of reaching for another expensive supplement that promises to solve everything, take some time for deep rest and learn some techniques you can practice at home. 

• Short talk explaining the link between stress and digestive issues

• Personal Share – How I solved my own digestive issues, insomnia and infertility with restorative yoga and yoga nidra

• 1.5 hour Deeply Restorative Yin Practice

• Bliss Balls and Tea

• PDF Take-home practice sheet and resource links

If you experience stress, anxiety, auto-immune issues, adrenal fatigue or digestive problems, this workshop is curated just for you. 

“Stop researching and spending money on cures and start making time to rest and nourish. That is how I healed my most challenging health issues.”

Slow down, refill your cup, and melt into the gentle supports provided as you rest in longer-held postures to calm your nervous system. Let Bec guide you into a deep state of rest with visualisations and gentle stories until you find yourself in the deepest, most satisfying state of peace imaginable.

Please avoid any caffeine aside from early morning on the day you attend to get the most benefit. It is very difficult to get into a deep parasympathetic state and enjoy stillness when you have consumed stimulants.

Please arrive 15 minutes early so you can settle into the space, as late arrivals disturb the peace of the people who have come, especially for time to access deep rest.  

All props are provided; just bring two towels to drape over the provided props and pack a water bottle.

Yin & Sleep Workshop

This will be the most relaxing regenerative thing you have done all year. An hour and 45 minutes of pure bliss to refill your cup. We are living more fast-paced crazy lives than ever, and our nervous systems are not designed for this. This is why we often don't feel good, why we don't have energy, and why we need time to slow down and re-fill our cups. This is perfect for anyone that feels low on energy, low in mood more often than they would like or people who are too wired and have trouble sleeping.

You will spend time in gentle yin poses with props to support you, as well as massage balls to release trigger points in tight muscles. All poses are seated or lying down so you can really relax and calm your nervous system right down. We hold poses for longer so you can really relax into them and let your heart rate and breath slow right down.

All props are provided, just bring two towels to drape over the props you are given. 

If you are a shift worker, have a busy high stress job or children, it's a no brainer - you have to come and treat yourself to this.

Why you will love it

Does anyone else dance better after a few wines? Well Yoga is no different, some people just need a wine to stop being so self aware and relax into their bodies. Plus, since covid-19 we have all become a little recluse and this is the perfect way to build some community back up, with a casual wine, some movement, good company and a cheese board (with vegan options too). A great way to connect to some like minded people and enjoy our amazing studio vibe. Perfect for new people to build their confidence to get started or for regulars to finally have a good conversation with the people you roll your mat out with every week. Absolutely everyone is welcome provided you are old enough to drink wine. We will provide one glass of wine. BYO your favourite bottle of Vino.

Dates & Time:

Friday, May 6th
7:00 PM 8:45 PM

How much:

$55.00

This includes:
1x Glass of wine

Why you will love it?

A very special workshop where you can enjoy 1.5 hours of pure bliss, gentle therapeutic movement through Yin Yoga and the healing vibrations of crystal chakra singing bowls, shaman drums and channeled sound through song. The entire class will take you on a slow, rhythmic journey with the intention of healing, releasing tension and bringing you into energetic harmony!

Yin Yoga targets connective tissue to release stuck places and allow your energy to flow freely to every cell. Originally a Daoist form of yoga, yin yoga also stimulates the meridians or energy channels that run through the body, helping to release energy blockages that can arise due to stress, injury or trauma.

Our bodies are not designed to be on the go all the time most activities we engage in expend energy rather than restore it and then we wonder why we start to feel weak, low or unwell. This workshop will refill your cup and give your body a chance to rebuild and recuperate.  

Date?

Saturday 9th June 5:00pm - 6:30pm

How much?

Workshop : $45

Fitness Passport & Current Members : $35
