Yin & Yang is the Taoist symbol of balance and harmony. Yin symbolises the feminine, lunar energy of being, evoking creativity and gentleness. Yang symbolises the masculine, sun energy of action and brings us inner strength and power. We all have and need both sides and qualities within us. The moon wouldn’t shine without being lit by the sun. Shadow doesn’t exist without light. Yoga means union. 

Similarly, Yoga philosophy says, “sthira-sukham āsanam.” (Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras 2.46) The asana, the posture, the seat, the connection to the earth, should be steady and joyful - yoga asana practice requires stability and mobility, otherwise known as strength and flexibility, the yin/yang dichotomy. Is it easier or more challenging to find this balance alone, or with others? Our answer is: yes! 

Bring a partner, bestie, friend, neighbour, family member or just yourself and we’ll find a partner for you in the beginning of the workshop. You can be an absolute beginner, new to yoga, or an advanced practitioner. All levels are welcome. Come as you are!
