Yin

Yin Yogis often use the expression “The Rebound” to describe the minute or minutes spent reclining and meditating on the changing sensations that follow the release of a long-held posture. We call this class a “No Rebound” class because we are not taking the time to lie still, instead we are transitioning from one posture […]

Mostly, we do a pose and then a “counter pose” – for example, if we do a backbend, we will later do a forward bend. In this class we explore the possibility of not doing that. No counter pose. Want to give it a try?

In this yin yoga class we go over all the body parts, stressing and stretching and juicing it up!its a nice long 50 min class, in which you may need a blanket, a block of a bolster!

What do you see with your eyes closed? In this session, we will feel deeply in our Yin Yoga pose, meditate on the changing sensations of the exit with an inner eye toward the changing lights, colours, and potential dream-like visions that flow with all other rebounding sensations. The sound in the first 5 minutes […]

A short yin class – just the basics: backbend, forward bend and a twist 🙂

The two sides of the body are asymmetrical at least a little… and sometimes a lot. Our bones are different between the sides, and we also use one side more for certain daily activities. These asymmetries are natural, and because of this, we might naturally find ourselves spending more time in a Yin Yoga pose […]

This is a remake from Anat’s assisted yin yoga class all the way from the beginning of The Fat Yogis, she had Katrin assisting her while I have my friend Nuno assisting me, or… I apply assisted yin yoga on him! for this class you need a partner, and we strongly suggest that you do […]

This afterwork yon class can actually be done whenever you need yin, before or during work too:-)

This is a short yin yoga class in which we stay about 2 minutes in every pose, easy does it! Sometime it’s handy to have a wall close by!

In this yin yoga class you may need a bolster or pillow, a yoga belt/belt/long sock or a towel and a wall you can lean on! I promise you it’s going to be very relaxed!

After all this time I am still amazed at how yoga can change our states – of mind, of heart and of body. This class is my go-to when I need to calm down and open up, get out of any chaos that might be disturbing me. I find it particularly helpful in the morning, […]

The Lung, Large Intestine, Stomach and Spleen meridians are the outer layer of meridians, the are our defense system for everything that “attacks” from the outside. And from outside means everything outside, from a cold to negative impulses from people… If your Earth and Metal elements where these meridians are linked to are strong and […]

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.
