Yin

This sequence of yin yoga poses affects the whole digestive system deeply, removing blockages and harmonising energies. We don’t stay very long in the poses here, but feel free to increase the time if it feels right to you.

In this class we do all kind of yin yoga poses to move the spine in all directions. You need a sturdy blanket or a thicker towel and a yoga block or big thick book. It’s important to move the spine, and move it in all directions it can move in. In our “static” daily […]

This class is build around the element water seen from a TCM perspective. Its a Yin yoga class in where we don’t do “in-between” rebounds. We “flow” from one pose into the other. What we want to achieve with this yin class is that the water moves freely through our fascia. At the end of […]

The element of Earth is connected to the end of the summer, right before autumn. Think Indian summer, when its still warm and your body sort of slows down… For me this is the perfect time to do yin yoga, that’s why I designed this class – slowing down, feeling the earth beneath you, and […]

In this class we really focus on moving Chi/Qi through our body. We start by feeling the Qi, moving it with a couple of Qi Gong exercises, and then “stretching” or stimulating the sinew meridians with Yin yoga.

in our opinion “stress” is not a bad thing, we need it in our daily life! To much of anything is never good, and we all know this, so to much stress is bad, however whatever form of yoga we practice we always want to stress the body in a Yang or Yin way. In […]

In this class we will work on the muscles/fascia with the help of a tennis ball and maybe a foam-roller. We will target certain areas first by rolling them before we stretch! So you need at least a tennis ball, and if you have a foam-roller/block/belt. Have fun!

In this easy yin class we will use the wall as our biggest friend. In different classes we use the wall as prop sometimes but in this one its our main prop.

An easy yin class where we stay 2 minutes in every pose. The class focusses on the back and spine, and we don’t have rebounds in between. Just a long rebound at the end of class!

This is an easy, straight forward yin yoga class, in which you need a sturdy blanked or a thick towel. We work on the spine and the back and basically all the muscle groups around the hip and thigh. I hope you enjoy this one!

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.

Moving the energies of the kidneys and the heart can deeply affect our overall inner state, especially when we feel tired and depleted somehow. Chest openers, hamstring stretches, shoulder stretches and twists, all deliciously yin to allow for a deeper rebound.

This is a relaxed practice with all yin elements, but done in a way to gently energise you and lift your spirits. We stay shorter in the poses, and most of them are gently stimulating, so you can get rid of stagnation and move some chi without getting too sedated. I sometimes do this practice […]

So many of us have issues with their backs, so much so that we tend to think of the back as a fragile, dangerous place. There is also a tendency to treat the body as if it is inorganic, comparing it to a paper clip or a credit card. This short talk and practice is […]

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 […]
