Have you always wanted to join a Yoga class but are anxious about being flexible or strong enough? Now you will be able to join Shimmy’s fun & relaxed Yoga class streamed live via *Zoom , from the comfort & privacy of your own home.
A mindful flow classes offer a more embodied practice, combining movement with breath. Classes build slowly; we begin by pressing pause from our day, connecting to our breath, and checking in with what we need from our practice in that moment. Sequences are offered at a pace that provides a sense of fluidity, whilst allowing time for correct alignment. Variations are offered so that the classes are open to people of all levels - from beginners to more experienced practitioners. Classes combine elements of mindfulness, pranayama (breath-work), postures (both flowing and held), meditation and relaxation.

Yin Yoga
TBC
Eastern traditions recognise that true wellbeing comes from balancing the opposing energies of yin (calm / cooling) and yang (energetic / fiery). The demands of modern life however can often leave us operating constantly from this more driven, fiery side which, over long periods of time, can leave us tired and depleted. Yin yoga offers an antidote to this. In this largely seated-based practice poses are held for 3 minutes or longer, allowing muscles and connective tissue to gradually release. This process of letting go, both mentally and physically allows us to embrace stillness and quiet and surrender into the experience as it.
