Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga where poses are held for longer periods, typically ranging from 45 seconds to two minutes or more. Yin yoga poses target the connective tissues, like ligaments and fascia, with an aim to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility. It’s a meditative practice that focuses on relaxation and releasing many layers of tension.
Yin Yoga offers several benefits, including increased flexibility, improved joint mobility, reduced stress and anxiety, enhanced circulation, and better relaxation. The poses target certain areas of the body that stimulates the meridian lines in Traditional Chinese Medicine, promoting energetic balance in the body. Additionally, Yin Yoga can complement more dynamic forms of yoga or physical activities by providing a counterbalance to the intensity of those practices.
Kitty has lived a life infused with Yoga since she was a young teenager, she established the foundations for this moving art after being introduced to the practice by her mother. While studying a degree in Public Health she found herself adopting a regular practice of meditation through Arhatic Yoga and Pranic Healing. At the same time she discovered the dynamic Ashtanga Yoga practice and moved deeply into the Mysore form.
Since 2006 Kitty has traveled to India, Indonesia, New Zealand, UK, USA and Germany on several occasions to further educate herself in Yoga, Meditation, Pranic Healing, and Ayurvedic Medicine. She has explored several Ayurvedic therapy (Panchakarma) centres throughout the globe and has observed many methods of healing. Kitty’s passion is to share this knowledge of Ayurveda, Yoga and meditation and she regularly facilitates Yoga workshops and conducts one on one Ayurvedic lifestyle consults.
She is committed to engaging in nourishing work for the soul and finds herself collaborating with like minded souls who are equally dedicated to well being as she is. Kitty considers herself a constant student, embracing knowledge and wisdom through regular daily practices. On and off the mat, Kitty wishes to share a path full of humility, acceptance and joy.
