Yin

This class was filmed at Moon Yoga Club in Bergen (N-H) the Netherlands, during one of our trainings there. Its a standard yin yoga class where I give you options for different “target area’s”. You’ll find that when you do a class taught for a group it’s a little different than when you only have […]

This is just an overall easy yin yoga class mainly focussing on the spine: butterfly, bananasana, cattail, twist etc.

Easy does it, we will address the 5 biggest muscle groups in the body, and we stay 5 minutes in each pose! A straight forward yin yoga class, just as I love it.

This class focuses on aal the muscles groups around the hips and thigh, which can be very effective in harmonising the flow of energy in the whole body. There can be a huge build up of tension in these areas, and these long stretches revive the whole area.

This is a shorter yin practice designed to reconnect ourselves to our own inner intelligence and wisdom. Placing the focus on the liver and gall bladder meridians we use the poses to gently irrigate the body with new energy and calmness.

This is not a full on yin session but one you can use to “yin” yourself out a bit; we don’t stay as long in the poses but enough to calm down, connect and relax. In just half an hour we get a delicious yin bath to balance things down when necessary.

This is a routine taught by our teachers Paul and Suzee Grilley designed to offer some of the yin benefits while working with a partner. It can be very relaxing and beneficial, both for experienced yogis who feel they can surrender completely to absolute beginners who can just relax and be worked upon. There are […]

The Liver chi coordinates and regulates the movement of chi everywhere in the body. The Taoist call the liver ‘the General’ of the body, it governs a healthy chi flow within us. The Liver meridian begins on the top of the big toe, runs up to the inside of the leg and enters the torso […]

In this class we give the Kidney and Urinary bladder meridians a boost! It is nice to combine this class with the Heart and Small intestine class. Although we believe that we can influence the meridians with stretching, we know that it’s impossible to just work on one meridian at the time. You will influence, […]

The heart and small intestine meridians run through the upper body, not an area that we work on a lot in yin yoga. The heart meridian has 3 branches: One goes down, through the diaphragm to the small intestine, one goes up through the throat, the tongue to the eyes, and one across the chest […]

This class focuses on the heart energy and meridian, making it a delicious practice for any time you feel things are a bit stuck and dry. Surround yourself with all your regular yin props, just in case.

In this class we give a boost to the spleen and stomach meridians. Although we believe that we can influence the meridians with stretching, we know that it’s impossible to just work on one meridian at the time. You will influence, stretch, work on more meridians at the same time. However, the target of this […]

This class focuses on long held and passive twists, which will increase the blood flow to the fascia surrounding and supporting the organs. This gentle stimulation may help flush out toxins and increase the absorption of oxygen and nutrients, regenerating the whole system. In my experience, this is a great practice to improve our mood […]

In this class we use balls for trigger point massage or myofascial release, from the front and back of the upper body. its an easy class for everybody, and very beneficial after a long day behind your computer or if you had a good upper body workout in the gym and you just need to […]

This class is focused on hips and legs, a special request by one of you. A good practice to increase mobility after a heavy workout or just whenever you feel you need it. As for all yin classes, surround yourself with the props you are likely to need: blocks, blankets and cushions can be very […]

In this class we will target the back. In our time back problems are on of the main health issues in society. We wil target the whole spine. form lower up. We will hold poses longer in a yin way however we will move in between poses on a gentle yang way as well. A very beneficial class for those who want to remain a healthy spine, or for those who have a stiff back of any kind back pain. take note that this is not a therapeutic class!

In this Yin class we are using tennis balls or any kind of foam roller, to release and stress the Fascia and Muscles before we are going in to our soothing Yin yoga stretches. For this class you’ll need 2 tennis balls and a sock or any kind of foam roller.
