"I love my Wednesday morning Yin practice with Amanda. Not only do I feel taller when I leave, the practice of 90 minutes goes so quickly. Each pose is like a mini meditation which leaves me feeling energised for my day' Sarah M

​

Yin is a functional style of yoga. The floor based postures specifically encourage mobility and flexibility and nourish into your joints, spine & the connective tissues of your whole body as well as increasing your overall sense of well-being.  Enjoy long deep stretches that can release both mental and physical tension to nurture your body and mind.

​

Join us at Mountain Spirit, a Secluded Sanctuary.  Our yoga studio is in a light-filled yurt, in a beautiful and peaceful setting, surrounded by the sounds of nature on the Hawea Back Road. All levels of ability are welcome.
 

With our attention mostly turned outwards in these busy modern times, the practice of Yin yoga invites you to find balance and create space by bringing your attention inwards and tuning into your body.

"My Yin session, the slower meditative yoga, is the perfect reprieve in this fast paced life we live" Rae-ann S

"Yin with Amanda is a deeply meditative and restorative process for my heart and body. Her gentle, professional guidance through the practice creates a safe space for the Yin practice and for presence to enter." Liz M
