We are delighted to offer two yin yoga workshop during the Summer Solstice retreat with renowned teacher Norman Blair
Norman is one of the most experienced Yin teachers in UK and he has been teaching specialised workshops since 2003, an expert in Yin yoga he teachers a variety of classes and workshops in London as well as on retreats, he runs very popular Yin Yoga Teacher Training courses and has been teaching yoga and mindfulness meditation for over 20 years.
The practice of Yin, mindfully bending and gently moving can be remarkably rejuvenating for our body-mind-heart. Yin yoga gives us the space to slow down and stay with our experiences rather than always rushing and striving to achieve. The floor-based postures are held for several minutes.
Yin yoga is a meditative practice. The emphasis is on staying in ‘shapes’ for significant periods of time. Stillness and attention are prioritised above ‘achieving’ a pose.
Offering these special Yin yoga workshops with Norman will be a wonderful addition to the summer solstice experience, a precious chance to slow down and to soften.
