Harness the Power of Calm -Yin Yoga Brisbane

Life can be stressful. Especially if you’re one of the people balancing a hectic schedule, never-ending to-do lists, menopause and big life changes.

(Which, let’s face it, is all of us).

But if you’re regularly so stressed-out that you:

○ Struggle to sleep,

○ Have chronic neck, back and shoulder pain,

○ Get constant headaches or migraines,

○ Are easily upset or quick to lose your temper,

○ Can’t switch off,

… then it’s probably taking a toll on your physical and mental wellbeing.

Your friend (or doctor) may have suggested you try mindfulness, or exercise. Or both. But when you’re already run off your feet, you don’t have the time to get started.

That’s where Yin comes in.

Yin Yoga is a gentle, meditative yoga practice. It harnesses the power of breathwork and extended poses to melt tension — and unwind the effects of stress on your exhausted body and mind.

Lying on the floor with your eyes closed we teach you relaxing breathing exercises to calm the nervous system. You move through a series of gentle yoga poses and get really comfy with blankets and bolsters so that you can settle and unwind. As the tension melts from your body your mind stays present to the physical sensations, the breath and you observe yourself relaxing and unwinding.

I’ve tried a few yoga studios around Brisbane, and this is definitely the best one I’ve found. The atmosphere is open and grounded, and yoga mats are supplied! Getting myself to classes is often hard work for me, but I find myself looking forward to class here. I particularly love yin yoga, for the deep stretches and destressing 🙂

Since joining Cultivate Calm a year or so ago, my yoga practice has developed far beyond what I thought I could ever achieve. The studio space is inviting and the teachers welcoming. Classes offer something for everyone, and their contrasting approaches provide different ways to develop or maintain your practice in ways that suit you, and ways you may not have previously thought possible. I found it to introduce some calm into my life, and I’m sure you will find some too.
