Yin Yoga works not only with muscles, but also with fascia — the connective tissue that supports the body — and with the nervous system.

By slowing down and reducing effort, Yin Yoga creates the conditions for:

• Fascia to soften and rehydrate

• The nervous system to shift out of stress response

• Greater awareness of habitual tension patterns

This is why many students experience Yin Yoga as deeply restorative, even when the shapes themselves appear simple.

A typical Yin Yoga class at YinWave includes:

• A quiet arrival and settling period

• A small number of Yin shapes held for longer durations

• Clear guidance with optional variations and props

• Time to pause, sense, and adjust

• A closing period of rest or integration

No flexibility, strength, or prior yoga experience is required.

YinWave offers regular Yin Yoga classes at our studio in South Croydon, CR2 9BX, along with occasional themed class arcs and workshops.

Current offerings may include:

• Weekly Yin Yoga classes

• Short course arcs focusing on specific areas of the body

• Integrated Yin & Myofascial Release sessions

Please check the timetable for current class times and availability.

Yin Yoga at YinWave is not about achieving shapes or pushing limits.

It is an invitation to slow down, listen inwardly, and move with greater care and awareness — supporting the body and nervous system over time.

Yin Yoga in South Croydon

Yin Yoga is a slow, quiet style of yoga that works gently and deliberately with the deeper layers of the body.

Rather than moving continuously or building heat, Yin Yoga uses longer-held, floor-based shapes to invite softening through the joints, connective tissue, and nervous system. Shapes are approached with care, supported by props, and adapted to suit individual bodies.

At YinWave, Yin Yoga is offered as a therapeutic practice, not a stretch class and not a workout.

How Yin Yoga at YinWave is Different?

Yin Yoga at YinWave is calm, intelligent, and deeply respectful of the body.

Classes focus on:

• Slow, deliberate movement rather than flow

• Mindful positioning instead of forcing flexibility

• Time and stillness to allow tissue change

• Breath and awareness to support nervous system settling

This approach supports people who feel overstimulated, tight, tired, or simply in need of a quieter way to practise.

All classes take place at our studio in South Croydon (CR2 9BX) and are suitable for beginners and those returning to yoga after a break.

Who Yin Yoga is For?

Yin Yoga is particularly supportive if you:

• Feel stiff or restricted in hips, back, or shoulders

• Experience stress held physically in the body

• Find faster or stronger styles of yoga no longer helpful

• Sit for long periods or live with repetitive strain

• Want to improve sleep, recovery, and overall ease

• Prefer a calm, non-competitive environment

Many students come to YinWave looking for something gentler, safer, and more sustainable.
