Restorative Yin


This class is taught by:

Hellen Barlow

With over 25 years of dedicated yoga practice and a passion for movement, Hellen is a certified yoga instructor specialising in Hot Yoga and Restorative practices. She blends elements of Yin, Vinyasa, Hatha, and functional movement to create classes that build flexibility, prevent injury, and enhance performance. Having experienced and overcome severe sciatica firsthand, Hellen is passionate about injury prevention, mobility, and strength, helping students unlock movement patterns that support them both on and off the mat.
Yin yoga is a slow, deep practice of yoga that really allows our body to slow down, rejuvenate and release physically, mentally and emotionally - improving inner silence, awareness and reducing stress and anxiety.
The postures are passive, mainly on the floor, yet Yin is still challenging! Postures are held for a long period, often 3-5 minutes or more, applying moderate stress to the connective tissues working deep into the bones, tendons, fascia and ligaments.
The focus is mainly on hips (where we hold a lot of emotional tension), pelvis, inner thighs and lower spine as well as shoulders. We use props to ensure support and comfort allowing us to relax into the postures, increase circulation to our joints and improve the flow of qi (subtle energy) through our body.
The room is not heated.
Please bring 2 towels or a towel and a blanket to use for padding/support!

This class is practiced in a warm room.
