Connection to Heart Yin Yoga
90 minutes
Yin yoga invites us into the art of surrender, stillness, sensation, and the quiet courage it takes to stay in the presence of discomfort. In a world that moves fast and asks so much of us, this practice offers permission to stop striving and start feeling, turning your attention inwards, and meeting yourself with tenderness. Between poses, you’ll be guided into intuitive movement, allowing your body to respond, release, and gently integrate what’s been stirred.
This session is an invitation to slow down and return to yourself. Not to do more, or fix anything, but to soften, listen, and rest in the quiet rhythm of your heart. This 90-minute session will focus on 20 minutes of breathwork and meditation, before we move into 60 minutes of yin yoga, and finally 10 minutes focused on integration and journaling.
This is my only 1:1 yoga session offering outside of my longer containers. Offered with intention for those moments when your heart is calling for something gentle, grounded, and true.
You don’t need to arrive with the “right” mindset, or know exactly why you’re here. Simply come as you are and let the experience unfold.
Through long-held yin shapes, gentle guidance, and intuitive presence, we’ll create space for:
⏾ Nervous system support and building your capacity to tolerate discomfort
⏾ Reconnection to your inner wisdom and body’s natural rhythm
⏾ *Grief, gratitude, love, longing — whatever wants to be felt
⏾ Deep rest and softening of the inner edges
This is for you if:
✿ You're craving spaciousness to reconnect with yourself
✿ You’ve been feeling disconnected from your body or emotions
✿ You’re moving through a transition or holding something tender
✿ You want to reconnect with your intuition, your softness, your heart
*Please note I am not a mental health professional, this session is not a substitute for therapy or seeking support from another relevant professional
FAQs

Yin Yoga has the intention to target the connective tissues (ligaments, fascia, and joints), rather than the muscles. It can be practiced to enhance mobility, improve circulation, and encourage mindfulness. The focus is on gentle, passive poses that are held for extended periods of time between 3-5 minutes, allowing us to sink into the sensation (including discomfort), embrace stillness, and feel deep release. It is sometimes confused and interchanged with restorative yoga, which utilises more props to support the body and promote relaxation during the poses.

I believe that true expertise is rooted in embodied wisdom, where lived experience and personal insights are the foundations from which I am able to guide others. While formal qualifications are not the sole measure of expertise, I recognise that they offer reassurance and a sense of trust for many individuals. For those who find comfort in knowing, I have listed them below:

Not all yoga teacher trainings are created equally and it’s important to consider who your yoga teacher learned from. I studied with Lila Wellness in-person in Bali led by expert yoga instructor Emily Chen, board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Marguerite Pinard, and embodied breathwork and meditation instructor Bobby.

Not at all! This practice is open to all, whether you’re completely new to yoga or have been practicing for years. There’s no need for flexibility or any prior experience. The emphasis is on being with your body as it is in the moment, listening to its needs, and moving with compassion.

For this practice, all you need is a comfortable space where you can lie down and stretch. You’ll need a yoga mat or soft surface to practice on. Props like cushions, blankets, bolsters, or blocks can be helpful to support your body in the poses, but they’re not necessary.

This is a deeply nourishing practice, so you won’t be moving quickly or holding poses in a way that pushes your limits. Yin yoga is all about feeling and surrendering into the shapes, rather than pushing to “achieve” a pose. It’s a space where discomfort can arise, allowing you explore what it means to soften and let go. If at any point a position feels too intense, you’ll always have the space to pause, adjust, or stop.

This session is unique in that it’s a one-off, deeply introspective experience designed for you to drop into your heart space and explore your emotional landscape through the body. Unlike my longer 12-session containers, this is a single, potent moment of reconnection and softening. It’s not a performance-driven practice; it’s about holding space for you to simply be, in all your layers. Whether you’re experiencing something tender, need to release something heavy, or are simply in need of deep rest, this session meets you in that moment.

I don’t offer 1:1 one-off sessions outside of the 90-minute Connection to Heart Yin Sessions, which were carefully curated with a specific intention. There are limits to the value of one-off sessions which aren’t created with a specific purpose. It feels out of integrity for me to offer random sessions given the depth of the practice, and it also takes a lot of time and energy to design these. In the future I may create additional intentional offerings for 1:1 one-off sessions, but these will always have a clear theme and purpose so individuals understand what they are being held through and feel supported to integrate the session.
If you would like to work with me 1:1 beyond Connection to Heart, I offer a 12-session container where sessions are completely bespoke and created to support your unique journey.
