Yin Yoga/Meditation

Yin/Restorative Yoga is a beautiful form of Yoga which nourishes the internal organs using passive Yoga postures. Yin/Restorative Yoga encourages opening the body in a variety of quiet, seated postures using cushions and props. This meditative form of Yoga is extremely beneficial for people with injuries from tight hips to pulled hamstrings, and ideal for pregnant ladies or just for those of us who are looking to enjoy the stillness in life.

Yin Yoga is a great way to end the week, restoring all aspects of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body and making peace with the soul.

Client Testimonials

Sarah

I started attending Sadhana’s Pilates classed in 2009 when I was pregnant
with my third child. In my previous two pregnancies I suffered SPD (a
painful pelvic condition) so I was determined not to suffer too much again.
Through pilates and shiatsu I was able to remain pain free throughout my
pregnancy, and through strengthening my core I was astounded that I could
walk normally after giving birth, having had to resort to the use of
crutches and a wheelchair following my previous two births.

During my pilates classes Sadhana taught me a variety of breathing
techniques, including alternate nostril breathing which allowed me to stay
focused throughout my labour. I was able to have my third baby in the
comfort of my own home without any chemical pain relief, by maintaining my
breath control.

Following the birth of my son, Sadhana’s teaching of Pilates helped return
my body to a non-pregnant state in a very short time. Within weeks I felt
my core muscles returning and my pre-baby figure returning!

I now attend yin yoga with Sadhana on a very regular basis. I have found
this to be one of the most valuable practices I have at present. On a
physical level it keeps my body supple, but this is peripheral to the
emotional and spiritual benefits it has had upon my life. It has allowed
me to sit with post natal depression with kindness and compassion towards
myself. It has given me the strength to keep going when I have felt
overwhelmed with life and it has given me the opportunity to sit with
emotions such as anger and sadness when society encourages us to push them
away. I have developed a self awareness of my emotional state and am now
able to manage my depression without drugs, bringing love and kindness to
myself, however that self may be.

On a more personal level, my husband has recently started coming to yin
yoga with me. We have both found that Sadhana has a beautiful way of
holding the space so that we are both free to be ourselves and to be at one
with our emotional states. This practice has made us closer as a couple
and for the first time in a long time has allowed us to see the beauty not
only within ourselves but within each other through our practice of yin
yoga.

Shashana

I started attending Sadhana’s classes as a way to fill my evening’s when I
gave up smoking in 2012 and I have totally fallen in love with Yin Yoga.
The whole experience from the welcome at the door with a cup of tea to the
chats at the end and all of the yoga in between have calmed me to my core.
I seem to have spent many years feeling frustrated with life “stuff” that
was completely out of my control and yet would get under my skin and
influence who I am but I am starting to let some of that go thanks to these
fortnightly classes.

The classes are held in a calming room and you instantly feel as if you are
with friends whether you have met the other students before or not. There
are no barriers in the class except the ones in your head and these seems
to diminish with each class so that I can just enjoy being there and
letting my body and mind find their own comfort point. I thought being a
complete novice would hold me back but Sadhana encourages everyone to
physically achieve the best for themselves and at every class I manage to
accomplish a little more than in the previous one. I have never done
anything like Yoga before and thought it was just for hippies but there are
many different types of people there and I look forward to each class for
at least 3-4 days ahead of time. As well as improving my core strength and
flexibility I feel as if I am starting to become a little calmer and less
frustrated in both my personal and professional life.

I feel as if this has become a part of my life that selfishly I don’t want
to give up now I’ve started and I know that if it wasn’t Sadhana’s class I
would feel differently.
