Deep Stretch Yin Yoga, Gemma Murphy Yoga

Enjoy life in the slow lane and unlock your body’s full range of motion with a Deep Stretch Yin class. To enrich your deep stretching experience, carefully selected Neal’s Yard organic essential oils will be diffused during the practice.

Yin yoga focuses on increasing flexibility and mobility through gentle, sustained stretching of the body’s deep connective tissues. We’ll move through a series of floor-based postures designed to release tension and open up tight areas of the body. 

Whether you’re looking to improve sports performance, or simply seeking greater ease and flexibility in your daily life or regular yoga practice, Deep Stretch Yin can help. By working with your body’s natural range of motion and holding poses for longer periods of time (3-5 minutes), I’ll help you to gradually enhance your flexibility, promote better circulation, and reduce stress.

Deep Stretch Yin is the perfect complement to a regular vinyasa practice, helping to balance and restore the body after more dynamic movement. By incorporating longer-held stretches into your yoga routine, you’ll gradually increase your range of motion, improve circulation, and release stress.

Deep Stretch Yin classes take place at the Barn in Houlton. Sessions take place around once a month.
