Yoga Classes in Cambridge
What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ancient practice that connects body, mind and breath in the present moment. It offers individuals the opportunity to explore and learn about themselves in a non competitive, supportive environment. Yoga is a therapeutic way to help individuals release tension in the mind and body and helps them to find balance in the day to day.
Please note that Flourish now offers Trauma Sensitive Yoga, 8 week sessions per term, fully funded by ACC for those with Sensitive Claims. These sessions are faciliated by lead yoga teacher Erin Fairgray and psychologist Vanessa Beavan. Please contact hello@flourishwellnessnz.co.nz for more information.

YIN YOGA
Level: Beginner
Long-held poses that allow for a deep stretch and release, improving flexibility and joint mobility.
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced practice designed to target the deeper layers of your body, including connective tissues such as ligaments, fascia, and joints. Yin Yoga works on the principle that by holding poses for extended periods, we create gentle, sustained stress on the connective tissues. This stress encourages the tissues to adapt and grow stronger, improving the body's range of motion and flexibility.
Who this class is best for:
For those wishing to slow down, focus on breath, and stay present with body sensations. It’s not just a physical practice but a mental one, requiring patience and mindfulness. Yin Yoga offers a balance to physical activity, balancing your body's energy flow, helping to prevent injury and support recovery from the demands of life.
