Welcome to the serene world of Yin Yoga, where stillness meets deep stretching, and tranquility envelops the soul. Yin practice invites you to explore the profound benefits of slow-paced, mindful movement and prolonged poses. Unlike other dynamic yoga styles, Yin Yoga encourages you to surrender to the present moment, allowing gravity to gently guide you into stretches that target the body’s deepest layers of connective tissues, joints, and muscles.

This type of yoga is based in meridian theory of Chinese Traditional Medicine. Throughout the time on the mat, attention will be brought to the energy lines and corresponding organs and emotional flavors that relate to the balancing of one’s body and mind by holding the deeper stretches in a safe and supported way.

It’s a practice of patience and introspection, where each pose becomes a meditative journey.

With the support of props and guided breathwork, you’ll unlock the secrets of enhanced flexibility, improved joint mobility, stress relief, and heightened self-awareness. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a newcomer to the mat, Yin Yoga is adaptable to all levels, offering a sanctuary for self-discovery and inner peace. Join us in this transformative practice as we harmonize body and mind, and embark on a journey towards profound relaxation and well-being.

Yang to Yin Yoga – A Practice of Balance

In this class, we move through a mix of gentle flow and stillness. We begin with a light but energizing Yang sequence to warm the body and connect with the breath. Through mindful movement, you’re invited to arrive, feel, and connect.

After that, we shift into the quiet and calm of Yin Yoga. In longer-held shapes, we take time to settle, soften, and turn inward.

This practice is about balance—between movement and rest, effort and ease. Open to all levels, this class is a space to move with intention, pause with curiosity, and reconnect with yourself.

Start your weekend grounded, energized, and connected – before the day even begins.

This dynamic Vinyasa Flow is designed to awaken your body, clear your mind, and leave you feeling both strong and centered.

Come as you are – All levels welcome.

In Petra’s Yoga Foundations Class, both beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome. Together we explore the fundamental alignment of different asanas (yoga postures), with the breath guiding you through the practice. Along the way, we observe the effects of the postures on body and mind, find calm and mental clarity, and build strength and flexibility. This creates a solid foundation that gently introduces newcomers and allows more experienced students to deepen their practice.
This Foundations Class supports you in developing a balanced and profound yoga practice.
