THE PRACTICE OF YOGA & MINDFULNESS with Despina Forbes

‘Yin yoga and meditation can be experienced as a practice of cultivating well-being.

Combining the practices of Yin yoga and mindfulness meditation creates powerful possibilities for insight, transformation and healing on all layers of being – body, mind, and heart. Yin yoga

combines aspects of Hatha yoga and is designed to improve the flow of chi/prana (the vital energy of the body) through the energetic channels to improve overall emotional well-being, joint mobility,

immunity and organ health. Yin yoga supports a quiet, slow, nourishing and grounded practice.

Cultivating the skill of awareness opens us up to possibility, conscious choice and space to create paths for growth, insight and joy’.
