What to expect

Yin Yoga is a contemplative style of yoga that involves holding poses for an extended period, typically three to five minutes or more. It is a slower-paced, more meditative form of the physical and spiritual discipline of yoga. Unlike other types of yoga that focus on engaging the muscles, Yin Yoga aims to target the connective tissues through passive holds and little muscular effort.

Yin yoga is meant to help promote balance within your body by working the deep connective tissues. It is a branch of hatha yoga, an ancient Indian practice that focuses on stretching and strengthening the physical body to prepare for sitting meditation.

Yin Yoga is based on three fundamental principles known as Tattvas: Edge, Stillness, and Time that are to be expected in every class. The edge refers to how deeply you go into each pose, which varies for each individual and is determined by the natural limits of your body. Props, such as blocks or blankets, can be used to support the body and help you find your edge. Once you find your edge, the goal is to remain still, and breathe deep and consistently, in the pose for an extended period of time, allowing the deep connective tissues to release. The length of time spent in each pose is an essential aspect of Yin Yoga, as it provides ample time to fully release and obtain maximum benefits.

Unwind in a serene, flickering sanctuary designed to reset your nervous system through the meditative practice of Yin. This floor-based session targets the body's densest structures—the fascia, ligaments, and tendons—by utilizing long-held, passive postures supported by props. By maintaining these shapes for several minutes, you will encourage increased joint mobility and a deep myofascial release. You will leave this candlelit experience with a calmed parasympathetic nervous system ready for restorative sleep.A few props will be used and provided but you are welcome to bring your own, such as a mat and bolster.Read class details

I host wellness retreats in many places around the world, and having Third Eye Cacao at our Chamonix retreat was truly special. As soon as the group started using the elixir, you could feel a shift, everyone began to open their hearts. It created such a beautiful space for connection, presence, and deeper healing. We’re so thankful we had them as part of this experience.

Third Eye Cacao, the most diverse cacao and wellness oriented cafe i have ever visited. This is a phenomenal place for not only grounding with lovely authentic and ethically sourced cacao, but also to meet soulful people, make meaningful connections, and enjoy the fengshue for studying and rejuvination. Words cannot do justice to the full experience. You should come and find out for yourself why this gem in casa de luz among many other beautiful stores and spaces is one to remember. Thankyou ❤️‍🔥
