WholeBodyYin (Katrin) |
Yoga as practiced in the West is almost exclusively Yang (active) or muscular in nature. The Yin style of Yoga which holds poses (asanas) for a longer period of time with the muscles relaxed stretches and stresses the more hidden connective tissue (such as ligaments, tendons, fascia, bones, etc.). Using the breath in the pose is important to calm the mind and to relax more into the posture. Yin Yoga is perfect for students who look for a deeper spiritual dimension of Yoga through a more passive, and gentle approach. WholeBodyYin is Katrin's signature class. In this class she will work the body (plus the mind) in all directions. The Yin sequence is designed as a flow, each posture is connected, sometimes through a Yang pose (as a transition). Meditative Yin integrates Meditation to the Yin practice.
This class it a blend of two yoga styles: Yin Yoga & Vinyasa. Yin Yoga (read above) is a more passive style of yoga. Vinyasa is focused on a sequential, creative movement that interlinks postures (asanas) to form a continuous flow. This style is an active (yang) approach in Yoga, and therefore the opposite of Yin Yoga. The breath in Vinyasa functions as a connection between two poses and dictates the movement and the length in the posture. The purpose of this more yang style in Yoga is to create heat in the body, which leads to purification through increased circulation and sweating. Combining both styles in class brings balance to the body and mind. Yin/Vinyasa + Alignment focuses, besides a short Yin Yoga practice at the beginning of class, on the Alignment in more Yang posture.
These classes using the slow movement (active) in combinaton with meditative aspects. Pranayama (yogic breathing exercises) and Meditation are part of the practice. The classes are very healing for body and mind and perfect to learn about the classical yoga tradition.
This class is using the power of Restorative Yoga (more passive, sometimes with yoga probs) in combination with a slow flow (active) yoga practice to move and activate the energy in the body. A perfect class for students who had a stressful day at work or at home. You will leave calm, relaxed and refreshed at the same time.
Working on and with the yoga wall (through the usage of ropes/straps, pelvic slings etc.) helps students experience the various yoga poses more profoundly and creates optimal body alignment in yoga postures. Using the wall equipment helps opening areas in the body that are for some students difficult to reach.
The training on the yoga wall is available for small groups or for private sessions for all kinds of student levels.
