SATURDAY 30 March - The Hips Don?t Lie: A Yin and Mobility Workshop

Saturday 30 March

Yin and Mobility workshop

Retreat Yoga Studio

?25

Yin yoga is a passive form of stretching where the poses are held for between 3-5 minutes, so as to stretch the connective tissue around the muscle that over the years becomes tightly knitted together to create what we know as inflexibility and stiffness. Mobility is the practice of active flexibility, where the muscles are contracted so as to strengthen and increase the range of movement around a particular joint.

In this workshop, the two will come together to create an effective method of strengthening and lengthening the body, whilst quietening the mind. You will learn how to cultivate a greater range of mobility, range and flexibility in key areas of the body: all the muscles of the hips including the hamstrings. By using certain drills and sequencing to educate the nervous system on how to express this range of motion, you will learn how to build flexibility and mobility throughout the whole body. You'll also learn the role that gravity plays in stretching and a range of tactics to use gravity to our advantage - both in yoga and also mobility work.

This workshop will not only help to improve your range, active mobility, flexibility and strength, but it will also help alleviate back and hip pain, improve your posture, teach you how find freedom in these areas with yoga poses and exercises that you can take back home to your own mat. The workshop will end in blissful meditation as we soften into stillness.

ALL levels of practitioners are welcome! Email me at [email protected] for any questions. All mats and props provided.
