The yin comes before the yang in this wonderful, heart-opening, shoulder-releasing and back pain-relieving yin/yang yoga class. Sarah-Jane helps you ease into a series of intense yin poses to release the shoulders first, then moves you through a flow that deepens shoulder openers before you lie down to relax in savasana. Note: you need a bolster, pillow or folded blanket for this class.

I have done yoga off and on for over 10 years, but this is definitely one of my favorite classes. The class is as challenging as you want to make it, and none of the moves are foreign if you frequent a yoga studio. However, the way she ties them all together was a great way to open up the neck and strengthen the back.

This class was much more difficult than I expected, even though I've been practicing yoga for 30 years. I appreciate a challenge, but I am wary of overdoing it on my shoulders. These are poses that I would rather do in a class first, where I can make sure that I am supporting my body correctly to avoid injury. I'm not sure I would classify this class as a beginner class. That said, it is one that I would return to if I was certain that I was doing the poses safely.

Another good class thank you. However I would have preferred as a beginner for the pace to be a bit slower to allow time for adjusting into positions. Hopefully as I practise more this will be easier.

Deep yummy stretches into the shoulders (was looking for that and voila!) - perfect self-therapeutic Medicine under the Scorpio Moon (and beyond).
Thankyou Sarah Jane!
Oh, and yes, I agree, it's rather intermediate.
