Shiatsu Yin Yoga

a monthly offering by

Studio Shiatsu, Brunswick Shiatsu & friends x

  • A 90 minute Yin Yoga class combining restorative Yin Yoga shapes with Shiatsu touch (acupressure points, holding and massage) - for a deeply restful experience.

    Yin postures are held for 4-5 minutes. Our Shiatsu Practitioners will move around the room, and while resting in the shape you will receive a short amount of Shiatsu bodywork to deeper support the meridian opening.

    These meridian-focused sequences are inspired by the energetics of the seasons and designed to balance the elements and energy flow in your body.

    The combination of slow stretches and the calming touch of Shiatsu offers a space for deep relaxation; improving circulation and inviting awareness to the whole body.

    We welcome all abilities/bodies.

    Hi, I'm Sarah.

    Yoga to me is a ritual we get to create for ourselves, a mindful meditative experience, a way to take time out from external life and drop into being, the essence of which we can take from the mat out into the world. When we come together in group practice, there’s an extra special potency of collective energy. It's an honour to offer guidance and be in this space with you.

    I’ve been practicing yoga over the last 20+ years & teaching for 10+ years between Byron Bay, Darwin, and now back in my hometown Melbourne. Originally certified in Purna Yoga (RYT 500hrs, 2011) at the Byron Yoga Centre. With further training over the years in Pre/Post Natal Yoga, ZenThai Shiatsu, Yin Yoga, Myofascial Release & Yoga for Fertility, Embodied Flow, Somatic Movement Therapy, and Qigong. Currently, I’m engrossed in the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and building on my practice as a Shiatsu Therapist - I love weaving all this ancient wisdom and blending it with modern knowledge into these Shiatsu and Yin Yoga sessions.

    Inspired by nature and the seasons we’ll be exploring the meridians within yin yoga poses, and how to support ourselves as energetic and cyclical beings within the greater cosmos. No matter where you're at come along. Classes are layered with options within the practice so that each student can co-curate their experience.
