Escape the busyness of everyday life and discover the power of slowing down with this nurturing Yin Yoga class in York. Designed for all abilities, this 60-minute restorative yoga class offers a peaceful space to release tension, calm your mind and reconnect with your body.

Unlike faster-paced styles of yoga, Yin Yoga invites you to gently settle into each posture for longer periods, allowing your muscles, fascia and connective tissues to soften and release. This mindful practice helps improve flexibility, increase mobility, reduce stress and encourage your nervous system to shift into a state of deep rest and relaxation.

Whether you’ve had a demanding week, spend long hours sitting at a desk, or simply need time to recharge, this class provides the perfect opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply and prioritise your wellbeing.

Throughout the class, carefully selected essential oils are used to create a calming atmosphere, enhancing relaxation and helping you feel fully present. We finish with a deeply restorative Shavasana, accompanied by the gentle sounds of crystal singing bowls, allowing your body and mind to completely unwind and absorb the benefits of your practice.
