  • Yin & Yang

    We look at the concepts of Yin and Yang from a Taoist point of view. By understanding this relationship and their characteristics we can understand more clearly what the practice of Yin Yoga is about. 

  • Functional Anatomy

    We teach functional anatomy, meaning that bodies are unique in their structure and constitution, which means that poses may look different on different people because of this uniqueness. When you know what a pose should be doing for you, the function of a pose, you will be able to adapt and adjust it to suit your body and the bodies of your students.

  • Meridians

    We look at the movement of energy through the Taoist meridian system, examining how it can be affected by Yin postures.
