At Breflex, Yin Yoga is your sanctuary for slowing down, stretching deep, and restoring balance. Our classes offer a calm, supportive space where you can release tension, reconnect with yourself, and leave feeling refreshed and renewed.
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a slow, floor-based practice focused on long-held poses that gently target the body’s connective tissues and fascia. It encourages stillness, deep breathing, and mindfulness, helping to increase flexibility, calm the nervous system, and create space in both body and mind.
Your Yin Yoga Session
Come as you are. Yin Yoga is here to help you slow down and reset.
Before Class
Wear comfy, stretchy clothes and arrive a little early to settle in. Drink some water but skip heavy meals.
During Class
Expect long, gentle holds with lots of support. Focus on softening and breathing deeply. Listen to your body and adjust as needed.
After Class
Rest for a moment and notice how you feel — calm, open, and refreshed. Drink water and ease gently back into your day.
Let your instructor know if you have any injuries or concerns. We’re here to support you.

FAQ
Can I arrive late to class?
We recommend arriving 10 minutes early, especially for hot classes. If you arrive late, please be mindful that the class will already be underway—enter the room quietly and take direction from the instructor on where to set up your mat so you don’t disrupt the session.
Do I need to bring my own yoga mat or towel?
You’re welcome to bring your own mat if you prefer, but we have yoga mats laid out in the studio ready for your use and convenience.
We recommend you bring your own towel to lay on the mat, but if you happen to forget to bring it or prefer to use ours, we have towels available to hire for $1 per session.
How many people are in each class?
We keep our group classes small, with a maximum of 10 participants, so everyone receives personalised attention and a quality experience.
What is the studio environment like?
Our studio is designed to evoke empowerment, transformation, and balance. Expect a welcoming, clean, and calming space equipped with modern facilities.
Do I need experience to join our yoga or Pilates classes?
Not at all! Our classes cater to all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. Our instructors provide modifications to suit your needs.
