Monthly Sundays 10:30 - 12:30
Cheltenham Fine Arts (in the same building as Cheltenham Holistic Health Centre), Camargue House, 32 Wellington Road, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 2AG.

Spaces are very limited so we can social distance. Advance booking is essential. Please email me at annmorleyyoga@gmail.com for payment information.
The following dates are available for booking:
A great opportunity to dedicate a morning to this nourishing style of yoga; Yin is deeply relaxing and meditative. In Yin you hold seated and lying stretches for 2-6 minutes. These long, gradual stretches are used because they allow deep tissues (fascia) within our body to be stretched, and give the body time to release fully into the postures. When we take the time to allow these tissues to stretch we can open the body more fully. This practice works really well both for beginners and for those who already have a more dynamic practice.
The slower pace of Yin gives an opportunity to explore the meditative aspects of yoga, using techniques such as mindfulness. Yin is about finding stillness and softness, acceptance of our situation. Through Yin Yoga we can achieve stillness, the ability to be comfortable with our own body, softening and releasing. Yin Yoga classes emphasise this to provide a counter-balance to our modern Western lives: we need both yin and yang to come into balance.
For more information on Yin Yoga, this Guardian article is excellent, or the Yin Yoga website.
There is pay and display parking on the streets all around the centre and some sections of free parking for 4 hours. Alternatively there is a large Pay and Display car park (Portland Street Parking) just a minutes walk away.
