A calm yin yoga class built around slow, gentle stretches held for two to three minutes, done both seated and lying down. The aim is to relax deeply so the connective tissue can lengthen, and support cushions and blocks are on hand to make each position comfortable.
Each session opens with a short mindfulness exercise, followed by about half an hour of yoga and closes with a period of relaxation and reflection, inspired by Celtic Christianity. The class is led by Louise Jensen, a church and culture employee at Anna Kirke who is a certified yoga teacher specialising in both yin and yang yoga, as well as mindfulness.
