YIN YOGA
The Yin class is designed to help and guide you to slow down, to drop in, to let go of what no longer serves you, to explore and feel into the holding patterns in your body, mind and breath, to restore and to renew. Sounds amazing? It is!! In time this practice cultivates patience, surrender, contentment and gratitude. In a Yin style practice the poses (asanas) are held for longer periods of time while relaxing the outer muscles of the body in order to reach the deeper tissues. In these passive holds the three ancient practices - Yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Buddhist mindfulness techniques - are joined to give a holistic, wholesome and long-lasting framework for health, greater awareness and wellness.
Yin Yoga is a powerful, transformative practice for body & mind: it recharges the body's energy flow and naturally draws the mind inward into a relaxed, meditative state. It helps us to slow down, explore and feel into holding patterns in the body, mind and breath, to bring rest and renewal.
I feel inclined to share here "What does Yin Yoga mean to me?"
I often relate to Yin in a broader context. Yin is one half of a whole - the other of course being Yang. YinYang stands for the cyclical nature of life, honouring the times that call us to pause, withdraw, conserve, reflect, let go, allow, inquire and simply be, so we are able to receive the insight, wisdom and connection to be in the world when it is time to act, expand, create, build, relate, accomplish, stand up for ourselves and what we value.
We live in a yang dominated culture where only one part of a natural cycle - the doing, achieving, controlling, is celebrated. Yin yoga for me is a way to first restore that balance in my practice - along with flow, movement and strength building (yang), I'm using the slow yin holds to sense what's present on a level of body, emotions, thoughts, patterns, reactions and in this way accessing deeper and more subtle layers of my body and being.
The slowness and gentleness of the practice allows me to build capacity in my nervous system to be present with what's arising, learn to really listen to the body and the messages that it carries. This inner listening and way of orienting then spills over into my life decisions, actions, choices, relations.
One of my main core principles is that our practice is ultimately not about what happens on the mat, but how we are able to incorporate and embody the insights from the mat in our daily life. There is an urgency to the wake-up call, can you feel it? I practice yin yoga, so that I can hear and respond to what my role is in serving the bigger tapestry to life on Earth. My favorite quote illustrating this principle is: "Without inner change there is no outer change. Without outer change not change matters" (Rev. angel Kyodo williams)
YIN YANG YOGA - What a great way to start your Sunday morning - with a balancing blend of longer holds of Yin yoga and fluid movements of Qi Gong, gentle vinyasa flow, sun salutations and somatic explorations. The Yin & Yang practice brings together the two sides of the whole - the quality of Qi (lifeforce, energy) is enhanced by using the Yin practice to create space, acceptance and wakefulness with an unhurried and unambitious attitude; then bringing the mindful attitude into a active, flowing Yang practice improves the mobility of Qi.
The intention is also to follow the cycles of the seasons, the sun and the moon when deciding the propositions of Yin and Yang elements in the practice. Winter and new moon time of the month by nature invites us more into the yin. As days get longer, we are ready to rise, expand, move and invite more yang into our practice.

Yin Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga and Restorative Yoga in Neukölln
Registration directly via Yellow Yoga, follow the Registration link
|
Sonne Studio is one of the two studios of a non-profit (community supported) organization called Yellow Yoga. It is an international, vibrant and authentic community of teachers and practitioners, who operate more like a community rather than a business organization. The studio itself is spacious, light and cosy with a fireplace to warm us on colder days and nights.
Yellow Yoga wants to make yoga available for all - therefore you'll find lots of different teachers teaching types of yoga in their schedule at all times throughout the day, and more importantly - a sliding scale pricing system where yogis with higher monthly income (more than 1000€) offer to pay more (12€), so that yogis with lower income (less than 700€) can practice for a more affordable price (7€). The happy medium (9€) is where Yellow Yoga is able to cover their costs. The same system applies to monthly passes (80/70/60€) and 11-time cards (120/90/70€).
VINYASA FLOW is suitable for all levels of practitioners. Using mindfulness techniques, you'll be guided to stay present in your body, moving and pausing in ways that allows you to release tension, yet stay energized and feel rejuvenated after the class.

RESTORATIVE YOGA - is R&R (Relax & Renew) on the mat. It is a SACRED PAUSE. Minimum effort on your part with the maximum benefit for the body and mind. Using props and support, so that you can stay in poses for longer without any strain or effort, totally surrendering to gravity and letting everything drop. It's hitting a "pause" button to breathe more deeply, while the easy restorative yoga poses gently open the body in a unrushed and gentle manner, helping us learn to relax and rest deeply and completely. During this kind of deep relaxation, all the organ systems of the body are benefited, the mind slows down, the breathing finds it's natural rhythm. A perfect finish to a week and start to a weekend - unplug, restore, relax and recharge!
