About Me
I'm Donna, I began my yoga journey 15 years ago, discovering Hatha which has been my base, my yoga home…
I have a passion for the ocean and love living by the sea. I enjoy long walks, swimming, and being in nature.
As Ive got older I have felt the need to slow down and listen to my body and the changes it is going through, this led me to discover Yin Yoga.
This gentle and restorative practice has become my daily passion. It has been a great support to my body and mind.
I have recently qualified as a Yoga teacher and have completed a post graduate course in Yin yoga - both at the renowned Bristol School of Yoga.
I am eager to share the beauty and benefits of this practice with you.

YIN
What is Yin Yoga?
​
Yogapedia explains:
​
Yin Yoga is a slower-paced, more meditative version of the popular physical and spiritual discipline of yoga. In Yin yoga, the poses are held for a long period of time (typically three to five minutes or longer) to target the connective tissues (such as the ligaments) rather than focusing on the muscles. As a result, the asanas are more passive holds, with little muscular engagement.
​
Yin Yoga has its roots in China, unlike the more popular and active yoga disciplines, which originated in India. It was founded on the Taoist theory of yin and yang – opposite concepts that, together, represent balance. Yin is stable and passive, while yang is changing and active.
The yin poses, therefore, are passive and performed while seated or in a reclining position. The poses are held with the muscles fully relaxed, allowing time and gravity to deepen the stretch and target the fascia. The time spent holding the asanas is similar to meditation.
​
Benefits of a regular Yin yoga practice
