Yes you can do Yoga!

Yin Yoga is highly adaptable with variations on different poses and the use of props to bring the floor up closer to you. 

I encourage you to meet and honour yourself where you are today and allow your mat and the props to hold and support all of you.

FAQ

  • I'm too ____ (old, unfit, fat, skinny, young, inflexible) to do yoga. Why is it for everyone?

    Fill in the blank...I've heard from the list many times. If you are breathing you can do yoga. Yin Yoga is gentle, slow moving and I encourage you to honour yourself where you are today.

  • Why can't I stretch further?

    2 things effect your stretch; compression and tension. Compression may be that your joint has moved as far as it can or that your belly or other body parts have come up against another body part...how your body is naturally built leads to compression Tension often means the muscle is not loose enough, yet. Give your muscles the opportunity to adapt to the poses.

  • What are props for in Yin Yoga?

    Props such as blocks, straps, bolsters, pillows, cushions, etc. are used to assist you in holding the pose comfortably. Whether to bring the floor up to meet you, provide opportunity to increase the stretch or to assist where your yoga mat is not enough cushion.

I took my first Yoga class when I was 13 and have been passionate about it ever since. In teaching dance it was a key aspect to encouraging students to stay loose and flexible and I am constantly suggesting stretching and yoga to my massage clients. Yin Yoga is my go to as a teacher, practitioner and massage therapist. Holding the poses for longer means that the fascia, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments have an opportunity to release. Restorative Yoga goes further with comfort and relaxation being key while you breathe, rest and digest. Yoga is not about how the pose looks or how you look in the pose. It's all about how the pose feels, the sensations you are experiencing and the breathe that you focus on as you inhale and exhale. It's also and most importantly about meeting yourself where you are today as you practice. About developing a nurturing relationship with it and allowing your mat to support you. Use your props, bring the floor up to you, allow sensation and stretch but no pain should be happening. In restorative you should be so comfortable that you could fall asleep in the pose. Be kind to you today.
