Tantric Yin & Meditation + Chillout DJ Set

There's a modern belief that more is better. 

Society places a considerable amount of emphasis on planning for the future and rushing into the next challenge; often before the current one is finished.

That's not the case with Yin Yoga - it's essential to slow down to a pace that comes naturally to you.

Yin yoga beliefs state the harder you try the less you will achieve; this is because your body will naturally resist the force placed upon it.

Ideally our energies are in balance when we both integrate Yin and Yang energies into our life.

Yin corresponds to a female, more receptive, and yang to a male, more outgoing energy.

In our current age we oftentimes have a surplus of Yang in our environment, which can trouble us at a physical level.

Burnout and anxiety can be worsened due to an excess of intense Yang-energies.

Yin Yoga gives us the peace that we so urgently need in this noisy world.

We can use it to get in touch with our inner selves once again, as well as find release in our stuck places.

With its passive stretches that last for 3-5 minutes, we can learn, in a wonderful way about the process of letting go.

If we have learned to let go physically, we can then also let go better emotionally and mentally.

Tantric yoga is a practice of being more aware, awake and connected to ourselves on an intimate level. 

That being - much of the way we move through our days are functional, performative and maybe even robotic. It's then, we lose our connection to self, who we really are under the labels, beyond the roles, beneath the masks.

Unlike many yogic techniques of detachment, Tantra focuses on the body's inner world of energy.  And values all our complexities, to learn to love ourselves as we are so we can open up to our fuller potential. 

Fault-finding only serves to keep us small.

Tantra is to be in touch with our breath, our heart, our thought patterns, to what's happening in our body energetically, and how we show up.

The night will be accompanied by a Chilled Out Electronic DJ Set - recorded live by Ecstatic Dance DJ wildcalm - ME!

This workshop will include:

• Dharma -  a short talk on the philosophical context
• Pranayama - gentle breath work to relax the nervous system
• Tantric meditation - guided meditation to reconnect
• Activation - a short gentle rhythmic flow - helps to rid the body and mind of restlessness so we’re better able to drop into stillness.
• Yin yoga - a sequence to invite observation and surrender
• Relaxation - to balance yin & yang energies

No experience required.
