Yin yoga explores the Taoist philosophy of using asana practice, breath techniques and mental processes to restore balance in all three aspects of being – the body, mind and soul. Yin is a slow, deep practice where poses are held for long periods with the aim of improving flexibility and cultivating inner stillness. Yin focuses on stretching fascia, the connective tissue, and is suitable for all levels. It is the perfect complement to power yoga practice. Expect to let go of stress and float out feeling lighter, calmer and more mobile!

Erin first came to yoga through the Mysore Ashtanga series and moved on to explore a variety of Ashtanga-based styles, Bikram and Power Yoga. After moving from Australia to London, she completed her 200Hr Power Yoga Teacher Training at Lumi Power Yoga in early 2014. Since then, she has been teaching dynamic power flow classes for all levels across London. Also a qualified primary school teacher, Erin launched the kids yoga classes at Lumi and since then has been bringing yoga to children both in and out of the school setting. In her continued search for balance and mindfulness, Erin found a great passion for practicing and teaching the deeply restorative yin yoga and meditation. Her regular retreats at Shekinashram Retreat Centre in Glastonbury each year offer a blissful dive into these practices for yogis of all ages, shapes and sizes.
