Take some time to learn about the foundations Yin yoga and gain an understanding of its benefits for body and mind. This is an opportunity to ease into and explore the postures with more guidance and time for questions. This informative and experiential session will help you get the most out of your practice.

The physical elements of yin yoga involve floor-based stretching positions where there is little need for strength and muscle engagement. The poses are held anywhere from 4 to 6 minutes but may vary between classes. Flexibility is not a prerequisite as each position will have a range of options or variations to suit different bodies. The focus is primarily on maintaining stillness rather than depth in any given stretch. In this stillness, a deep meditation can be found and so the practice may become very relaxing.

Logan has been working with yin yoga since his introduction to it as a form of therapy to recover from a lifestyle of late nights, stress burnouts and alcohol and drug abuse that had become routine while he was living in Sydney. He completed his teacher training in Rishikesh, India in 2017 and has spent the last few years developing tools and techniques to not only maintain health and wellness but to thrive in it, yin yoga being a key part of this. Logan has taught this practice in India and various studios in Auckland since his return home in 2019.
