Yin & The Physical Body A 2.5-Hour Yin Yoga Exploration Sunday 29 November | 4:30–7:00pm What really happens to your body when you practise Yin Yoga? Yin Yoga is much more than stretching. It's an intelligent, contemplative practice that invites us to explore the body's deeper connective tissues, discover our individual range of movement and experience the profound effects of slowing down. In this immersive 2.5-hour workshop, we'll move beyond simply practising postures to understand why we practise them, how the body responds and what becomes possible when we give ourselves more time. Together, we'll explore: The Physiology of Yin: How fascia, ligaments, joint capsules and other connective tissues respond to gentle, sustained loading, and how Yin can support mobility and body awareness. The Five Yin Posture Archetypes: Explore five foundational posture families inspired by Paul Grilley's functional approach to Yin Yoga, understanding how individual anatomy shapes our experience. Finding Your Pose: Learn to modify, support and sustain postures comfortably, respecting your body's natural boundaries rather than forcing greater depth. The Breath in Yin: Discover how conscious, unhurried breathing can influence the nervous system, soften unnecessary tension and support deeper relaxation. The Art of Going Deep: Explore what depth really means in Yin Yoga, moving beyond physical sensation towards stillness, awareness and a more meditative state. Time to Experience the Shift... Unlike a regular Yin class, this extended workshop allows time for exploration, discussion and sustained practice. We'll gradually move from physical understanding into a spacious, guided Yin sequence, giving the body and mind an opportunity to settle, release and experience the subtle shifts that emerge through stillness. Who is this workshop for? Suitable for curious beginners, regular Yin practitioners and yoga teachers wishing to deepen their understanding of functional anatomy and the physical
