Enjoy life in the slow lane and give your body and mind the space to settle, release tension, and move more freely.
Each session helps your body feel lighter, more comfortable, and resilient. This gentle, floor-based practice supports long-term joint health, mobility, and sustainable flexibility. Softly diffused essential oils create a calm, grounding atmosphere, helping you fully settle into the practice.
What It Is
Yin Yoga works with the deeper connective tissues of the body through slow, sustained postures.
In this class you can expect:
- Floor-based poses held for 3-5 minutes
- Gentle guidance to help the body soften into each posture
- Quiet time to settle the breath and nervous system
- A calm, reflective atmosphere
Sessions follow a gentle thread of reflection, inviting you to notice how ideas explored in practice may also resonate off the mat.
Who This Is For
Deep Stretch Yin is perfect if you:
- Notice stiffness or tension building during the week
- Want a slower, restorative style of yoga

How It Helps

You’ll leave feeling calmer, lighter, and more balanced.

What Students Say

– Kate
“I love the calmness my mind and body feels after each class and how this stays with me for the rest of my day. I enjoy the way classes have a theme and we focus on different areas. The quotes Gemma shares with us as we hold our poses are thought-provoking and inspiring.”
