YIN YOGA CLASSES
Come on a contemplative journey to deeply relax your body, calm your mind, inspire your soul, and access your inner wisdom.
Yin Yoga is a gentle and slow-paced form of yoga with floor-based and longer held postures. It is based on the Taoist concept of yin and yang, opposite and complementary elements. Yin Yoga targets deep connective tissue such as fascia, ligaments, bones and joints. A Yin Yoga practice helps you release physical tension and tightness, as well as diffuse stagnant energy and harmonise chi flow in the body.
We cultivate mind awareness and find peace in stillness by weaving through breath and Mindfulness techniques to make the class a deeply nurturing and meditative practice.
It is a practice suitable for beginners and an excellent complement to a yang practice targeting muscles.
Small-group size for personalised attention and support.
IN THIS CLASS, YOU WILL:
- Leave feeling relaxed, at ease and rejuvenated
- Learn the principles of a Yin Yoga practice
- Develop skills to listen better to the wisdom of your body

An individualised and modified approach using props and tailored to your needs in order to help reduce pain, release tension and improve overall movement.

Sunday 8am: Slow Flow
For all levels. A slow vinyasa flow with longer holds to experience each posture in more depth. Longer often equals stronger. Vinyasa yoga synchronises our movement with our breath, so each pose flows gracefully into the next. Vinyasa yoga builds strength, stability, balance and flexibility both on the mat and in our lives off the mat. It helps us to relieve stress and tension, connect, be present and find calm with the added benefits of toning and strengthening the body. In short, you feel amazing! (smiling throughout class is a pre-requisite!)

Wednesdays 6.30am Hatha Yoga
Yoga is a great tool for improving flexibility, facilitating core strength and not just standing on your head or wrapping yourself up like a ball (although if that’s your goal, we’re here to work with you to achieve it). Yoga is a great way to clear your mind, empty your thoughts and work on mindfulness.
At Instinct Health, we practice Purna yoga. Purna translates into “complete” from transcript and you will be guided through a practice that encompasses your entire body. This style of yoga is suitable for all experience types, from beginners to advanced yoga participants. Our Yoga classes run for 60 minutes and during the practice you will have the opportunity to improve flexibility, practice mindfulness and improve body awareness and postural alignment.

FREE NEW MOON REIKI HEALING
I am sending reiki healing every month, on the day after the new moon between 8.30-9pm AEST (Melbourne, Australia time) for loving support and guidance.
A new moon is a new cycle and symbolises new beginnings. It is the perfect time to set your intentions, new goals and create your vision for the cycle ahead. It is a time to focus your awareness and energy on positive and loving intentions, to raise your vibrations and manifest what you desire.
At the time of the session, you don’t have to do anything special except relax and receive the peaceful energy. If you are not available at the same time, it’s fine, just imagine receiving the healing when you open the email or before going to bed for my US friends.
If you would like to join, sign up to my newsletter in the sidebar, as I send reiki to everyone on the list. You will then receive an email with what came up during the session. As a bonus when you sign up, you will also receive my free eBook The Mindful Week Journal.
If you would like personalised healing, distance reiki treatments are available.
