Louise's Yin and journalling workshops are so motivational and inspiring.

She incorporates the seasons, moon phases and inspirational quotes with yin yoga.

This time that we put aside for self care is so important and beneficial.

I have learnt to embrace the journalling opportunities, which have become part of my yoga and daily practice.

FAQs:

Everything you need to know about practicing online with me

  • Simply click on any of the booking buttons to book your place.

    You can book workshops individually or book the whole series.

    Once you have booked your place, you’ll receive an email confirmation. A reminder email with your printable ebook will be included, and instructions on what to bring along with you will be sent the day before our workshop

  • The studio has a good selection of yoga props - bolsters, bricks, block and straps. Please bring your yoga mat and maybe a blanket for the relaxation.

    Wear layers & comfortable clothing that you can stretch in. As yin yoga is a still practice, body temperature can fluctuate, so you may need more or less clothing during the practice.

    And don’t forget your notebook or journal and pen too.

  • I’ll give you the prompts, then give you the space to ponder and write whatever comes up for you.

    I’ll encourage this to be stream of consciousness writing without focusing on grammar, spelling or punctuation. This is not a work of literary genius for future publication.

    The journaling process allows your thinking mind space and freedom to slow down and work through what very often feels like a busy jumble. Its a bit like downloading thoughts onto paper.

    Its very often a work in progress and during our time together in the workshop, we have just a short time. You’ll likely find that you may want to re-visit some of the prompts later on and add to them.

    And most importantly, this is YOUR private writing. You get to decide if and who you chose to share it with. You won’t be expected, or even asked to share anything during the workshop.

  • So Yin yoga is quite unlike other styles of yoga.

    It has elements of a restorative practice, but is not Restorative yoga.

    Nor is it dynamic. We stay in the shapes, that are quite simple, for between 3-5 minutes.

    And although you’ll always be supported by a plethora of props, the intention is to feel a sensation of stretch or tension in the connective tissues that do not rely on engagement of muscles to keep you in the shape.

    My teacher has often referred to Yin as a gateway drug to meditation, as the time spent in a shape can provide space for the mind to wander (& wonder) on possibilities.

    It is a great practice for those seeking a deep tissue stretch, and almost all yin shapes are floor based, so its an ideal opportunity to take a load off. It will compliment an active practice or sports perfectly.

    Speak to me if you do have any special conditions, or if you’re recovering from injury or recent surgery. Most Yin shapes can be adapted and if I know in advance, I can guide you into
