Little Yin

Come join us at Edinburgh Yoga Room for 60 minutes of yin yoga and meditation on Thursday evenings; the perfect way to wind down from a busy day and prepare to start your weekend feeling refreshed and renewed.

This class is suitable for complete beginners and experienced yogis alike.

Please arrive promptly - latecomers may not be able to enter - and bring water with you.

What is yin yoga?

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga that focuses on holding poses for longer periods, typically three to five minutes, to target deep connective tissues and fascia. It contrasts with more active, yang styles of yoga that focus on muscular strength and active stretching. Yin yoga emphasises stillness, introspection, and finding a gentle yet deep passive stretch.

This class is not suitable for children or those who are pregnant.

About the instructor: Hannah Simpson

Your body, your blueprint.

Trained in yin yoga, vinyasa, meditation and functional yoga anatomy, I will work with you to discover the best asana variations for your body, helping you to find ease and achieve flexibility, openness and (ultimately) more comfort in your own skin.

As someone living with hypermobility and lower back pain, working with your body (and not against it) is my passion. I believe an anatomy-first approach is the only way to achieve balance, age healthfully and make friends with your body.
