YIN YANG with GONG

Sunday 5 October 2025

2 – 4 pm

Yogarise Streatham

Join me in welcoming the autumn season with a complete practice combining the energetic yang energy, with the cooler and calmer yin.

As the summer sunshine winds away, we celebrate the dynamic energy with a creative sequence of postures which will challenge the body, calm the mind, and lift the spirit. You will explore a full spectrum of postures including standing, balancing, and inverting, all linked together with playful transitions, and flowing seamlessly with the breath. Pulling out all the stops, we will explore the kind of postures you never get to do in class, leaving you feeling refreshed and energised. Expect plenty of variations, and an emphasis on alignment and breath as you move with mindfulness, intention and focus. 

Heralding the arrival of autumn with its vibrant display of colour and shorter days, we will then wind down with a soothing yin practice, accompanied by the resonant vibrations of the gong. As the earth’s energy turns inwards and prepares to ‘let go’ for winter, we will let go of the things we may be holding on to, remove the old, and find a new focus, while enjoying long held, restorative postures, finishing with a blissful savasana. The ultimate relaxation experience!
